The Pearson clan at Aspen Grove, the BYU Alumni family camp up in Sundance Canyon. What a great time! Focus was on Grandma Pearson who turned 96 this summer. We won the Aspen Follies, where all the families staying there compete in a field day-type competition. Tom has about 30 first cousins on that side, so with four generations there, it was an impressive group.
Our shirts had a swiss cross on the front (like the Red Cross) and on the back was the saying Grandpa Irvin used to say to his children when they got a boo-boo. He'd blow on the injury between each phrase: "Fort-en-crowder *blow air* Kat-en-swid *blow air* Leggen-Lauer *blow air* Usetta-utetta *blow air* -- now it's all better!" The family used to think it was a Swedish saying, but when they asked some Swedes what it meant, it wasn't familiar at all and they kind of gave a weird look.
Houghton family side! We caught a quick visit with Dani on Saturday the 15th. Three days later she had her baby, Tatum Ashley. Jared LOVED the Wii game she let him play during our visit. We don't have video games at our house so from the look on his face, you'd think it was the most exciting thing he'd ever done in his life. Thanks for a great visit, Dani! Your baby is beautiful!
Here we are with baby Laura at Aspen Grove.
