Palmer Reunion

James's siblings all got together for the first time in EIGHTEEN years!  We all met up in St. George, Utah and rented out a few condos for all of us.  What brought us all there originally was the Stewart family reunion (Barbara's side) in Vegas, so we went to that on Saturday and just had our own Palmer reunion the rest of the week.  The condos in St. George were really nice, and it was great to have access to play areas, a game room, and a few pools at any time.  I had forgotten how much I missed Utah scenery.  It was gorgeous!  James went golfing almost every morning, we went to the lake twice, we swam, we earned some money by listening to a time share presentation, we ate at Kneaders and Cafe Rio 3 times (once in the SLC airport), we did a photo shoot with the 3 Palmer girls, and we stayed up late every night, of course.  The great thing about getting together was that we all agreed we should do it more often!

How lucky for us that Christina wanted to try out some photos at her new studio in St. George!  It was so fun to get the girls together.  I'm not sure it was fun for Christina, but she did an amazing job as always.  She set up her tripod for the Palmer family pictures as well.  We even had Grandma and Grandpa Brown (Barbara's parents) there for the pictures.

This last picture was during our 3 hour layover in SLC.  Hazel was over it (so were we).  We were supposed to get home at midnight that night, but because of maintenance issues on our plane, we flew in at 3 am.  We were in bed by 5!  James just went straight to work.  Poor guy.  We've caught up on sleep by now though.  Good thing, because Hazel and I are going back up to Utah on Thursday for the Paxton Reunion!
