June Blur, Chapter 1: Utah

We spent our first week of June in the West to visit family. It began on Monday (technically still May) with a short Memorial Day hike in the mountains.

Parry gave Ramona her first Red Vine . . .


. . . which we had to pry away from her, despite her protests, by the time her face looked something like this:







Not Pictured: Ramona comes down with a fever after the hike, and sleeps the rest of the day

Tuesday: Ramona meets Great-Grandma Thomas

Ramona meets her beautiful daughters, Elise . . .
. . . and Greta
