August Photos [Bryan]

August was a big month for us. We went back to Utah to see my sister Ashlee get married and to see my new nephew Benjamin. Then, Ellie took off (without the kids) to NYC to see her sister Emily. Some highlights of the Utah trip were:

1. Nora got to ride the "Heber Creeper" with Grandma and cousin John.

2. We got to play lots of "Settlers of Catan" with the Warnick clan.

3. We went to the Hill Air Force Base Museum.

4. We spent some time in Provo with Ellie's sister Anna and her husband Spencer.

5. We got to see nephew Benjamin's baby blessing.

6. We went fly fishing in the Uintah Mountains (China Meadows). I caught a 12-inch rainbow, but not much else.

7. I was able to go to Park City and have dinner with my long lost friends, David and Jared. Great food, great company, and great conversations (bow before Barak Obama Chappo, bow!)

8. Ashlee's wedding was beautiful (welcome to the family, Kurt!). We had a terrible time getting there, though, since our car overheated at an extremely bad time (long story).

9. We went to an incredible Thai restaurant in Layton and had our first experience with Tom Ka soup! Yum!

10. We went to the new aquarium they opened in Salt Lake. It wasn't bad. Did you know in the next life I want to be an octopus?

11. My brother Derek and family invited us down for a swimming party at their place. I played Dance Dance Revolution and didn't do too bad.
