We left Taipei on All Nipon Airlines at 1 PM on July 10. Cousin Ming took us to the airport. We had layovers in Tokyo and San Francisco, and landed in Portland on the same day at 3:30 PM. I-Shuan and the boys came to pick up us. It was so good to see them. She gave us a welcome party on Saturday and invited all of Elwin's relatives who lived in Portland. Brother Dwain, his wife Linda, their two daughters, Dee and Dawna and their family, Keith's son, Ricky and his family were all present.

Entertainment by I-ShuanOn Monday morning, July 13, I-Shuan and the boys drove us back to Utah. Our first stop was Boise, Idaho where we visited Elwin's brother Bob and his wife Helen. We spent the night with them, then on to Pleasant Grove to see the rest of our children.
Elwin, Shirley, Bob and Helen
We all met at Elaine's home in Pleasant Grove after we arrived on Tuesday. Kang and Cami brought the boys up from St. George. We met Max for the first time. He is 2 months old and is the cutest baby there is. In fact, we sat there holding him, and cooed and smiled for at least 10 minutes. Wow, it made us so happy to be home to see all the children and grandchildren. My sister Ling flew down from Spokane for the occasion. So, we had the Winters and us all together for the reunion.
Max and us
Kang the cook - grilled steak, chicken, hamburger, hot dog
We are so happy to be home. All the grandchildren have grown a few inches. On Wednesday, July 15, the long awaited activity - Lagoon, here we come. Below is a slideshow of our trip to Lagoon.
Ethan says his favorite ride at Lagoon is "Jumping Dragon". Madisen's favorite is "cliff hangers". Enoch's is "samari", Johnny's is "round and round", Renzi's the Carousal. They all like to go there again. No doubt!
It was so good to be with family again.

DR. DAVIS!! I am so excited I can keep track of you now. I have missed being in school rather than teaching it :) You were an amazing professor and I am grateful for you.
You can keep tabs on me too :)
