Uncle Derek’s 2 hour visit

I haven’t seen my brother since his wedding which was a little over four years ago. Alison, his wife, scheduled his monthly trip to Alaska (for work) to have a two-hour layover in Salt Lake. We packed up all the kids and headed up to see him. It was short and a bit hectic. Hanging out in an airport with six kids for two hours isn’t the funnest thing to do, but it sure was nice to see him again. We visited, snapped a few photos and then he was off again.

It is unfortunate that my family is so far apart. I sure would love to see them more often. Years fly by so fast and I am lucky to see my mom once a year. I haven’t seen my sister in at least two years. Thankfully my dad has a place in St. George so we do get to see them a little more often. Maybe someday we’ll all move a little closer. Until then I will enjoy the brief visits we have, even if they are just in the airport.

  1. Nice to see that you two were able to hook-up even for just a couple of hours. And… it is amazing you were able to get all the kids to remain in one area… it seems we were nearly all thrown out of the airport when you all came to see me a couple of Christmas’s ago. Seems like it was something about the great “escalator caper.” 🙂
