Here and there and everywhere.

As I was looking at my old posts, I realized I managed to not make a single post on my trip out to Utah this summer, and at the same time that I don't have any more recent pictures that I really want to post right now. So guess what! You're getting Utah pictures!

Like I mentioned a long time ago, my paternal grandparents are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year (the real date is sometime this month, I think) and so they got a couple of townhouses up in a resort area in northern Utah and all but one of their twenty-nine descendants made it out there to spend the weekend together. It was a little touch and go as to whether or not I would be able to go, but in the end, I did make it and it was a good time for all. 

Some, but not anywhere close to, all of the cousins. 

I'm not really much of a Utah person for a variety of reasons, but even I had to admit that the area we were staying is gorgeous.

We happened to be there the same night as a big hot air balloon festival just down the mountain, so we stopped by for a little bit and watched the balloons. Everyone decided to leave at the same time, so there was a lot of traffic and we were stuck in the car waiting to leave the parking field for a while, but there was one of those moments of absolute perfection where I was sitting with people I love more than anything, singing loudly to Journey, laughing and couldn't have wanted anything else right at that moment. Those are the best.
