"Fun With Sparklers For Alison & Olivia-July 5th"-Plus photos of family get-together:

On the night of Saturday, July 5th, Alison's brother and his family came in to town. This included Aaron (Alison's brother), Chalesse (Alison's sister-in-law), Olivia, and Vivian (our nieces/their daughter's). We went over to Alison's parent's house after Nate and Erin's goodbye party and met up with the fam. So here is a video of Alison and Olivia playing with Sparklers (Olivia's first experience with sparklers). In the video you'll see glances of Chalesse, Carol (Alison's mom), Aaron, Rob (Alison's step-dad), and Hannah (our niece through Alison's step-sister, Laura). Tom was filming but you'll hear his valuable input via voice (lol). Also, here are some various pictures that were taken by Tom while they were in town.

Be sure to pause the music at the bottom of the blog before starting the video. Enjoy! 8-)

Hey this is "Panty". I still get called that occasionally. There are about 150 Koreans here at BYU-Hawaii and a few of them actually know me and that name. Anyway I love your blog it has some hillarious pics. I was looking at your Fort Jefferson Pics from Key West. I lived there for two years. My daughter was born in Key West. I love the Keys. I found your blog on the mission website. I was so bored I actually looked at the site. By the way you found my "check out what's cool in hawaii and visit us blog" not my actual family blog. Next time click on the Adyson VT link. So what are you up to these days. I take you work in a bank or mortgage something? You have flying sugar somethings and travel to cool places. Sounds pretty good. Do you have contacts for any of the other cool former missionaries? It would be great to know what happened to some of them. I seem to only be in touch with. . . never mind. . . not some of the cooler missionaries.
