After being away from Utah for 4 years we had lots of people to see and things we wanted to do, in addition to the Parkinson family reunion plans. We spent an evening with our good friends, the Herlins, and then went from there to the Woolley's for dinner. We also visited the Bean museum, bowled with extended family at the BYU student center, swam at the Spanish Fork Rec Center and squeezed in a visit to the aquarium. We have no regrets moving to Texas, but also have many fond memories of our time in Utah and it was fun to revisit some of our old favorites.

As a WT employee, Dave needed his photo with this hairy guy - Go Buffs!
While we were in the museum, massive amounts of smoke from wildfires in the west settled over the valley. It was clear when we went in, completely hazy when we came out. The dramatic shift was a shock to discover. We didn't linger long outside and instead hurried over to Brick Oven for lunch.
Bowling with all the Parkinsons - I had one of the best games of my life and won the lane!
This busy boy was all over the place and loved the ball return and storage racks
Davey and Charlie quickly abandoned bowling when they discovered the Pac Man game was unlocked and didn't require coins to play
We lived across the street from the Living Planet Aquarium when Sophie was little and spent many days here. Even though we were busy, we found an afternoon to fit in a visit.
Sophie sure has grown since her first visit
