Mini Family Reunion in New Jersey July 20-23 2012


Andy flew out to the East Coast for a mini family reunion - I stayed in Salt Lake City to "babysit" the coach.  By all accounts, he had a wonderful time and got to see some family members that he had not seen in many years.  Most of the attendees live in New Jersey, but some came from as far away as Orange County in California!  All of Andy's kids and grandkids were there, which made it even better!  The camera went with him and here are just some of the pictures he took.  I am going next time cause it looks like they had just too much fun without me!

WOW in a family with a statue so impressed. That said a wonderful tribute to one that paid the extreme sacrifice for us.
