Ellison Family Reunion and Other Visits

We spent 10 fun days in Utah visiting lots of family and friends. The first night we stayed with Bill's parents in Logan. Then we drove down to Syracuse to visit Bill's sister, Jacque and her family before going to West Jordan to stay with Bill's other sister, Carrie and her family. We were able to see several friends including my old crew at Smith Barney, my friend Vicki from my Seattle days and Ted, Sarah & Drew Gardiner before my family's reunion began. By Wednesday, all of my siblings and their children had arrived at my parents' house. We had 10 adults, 6 kids and 3 babies under the same roof. It was pretty crazy most of the time, but we had a ball!
Sam handled everything pretty well and got used to his older cousins toting him around and the younger ones mauling him. He even slept through the night and took really great naps almost every day. Here are some of the highlights...
