So we had a great time in Utah. The main reason we went was to celebrate Grandma Blood's 90th birthday. Her short-term memory has seen better days, but she remembers almost everyone. And became teary-eyed when it was time to leave. It was great to see some family from Texas that we never met. Dad Blood never once visited his older brother David. But it's understandable when both families have at least 8 children and, one lives in West Virginia and the other Texas. I remember when I was younger and the thought of meeting cousins that were most likely Dallas Cowboy fans was a difficult one. We were also able to catch up with Dennis and Claudia from Boulder, CO. It's great to see family that I haven't seen in more than 5 years (at least). Above are some pictures of the birthday party. Even without a piƱata, we had a great time.
