What a great time! The Yankees beat the Red Sox, Elliot and Adam’s tickets were legit, and the crowd was very well-behaved… in my section.
Thanks for coming down, Shan & El. It was great to be together.
Elliot’s Cross-Country Trek
What a great visit with Elliot and friends Joe and Adam! I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time! They were very interested in learning the dynamics of the Fall family…and engaging themselves in every competition we could dream up (from the proper way to speak to pool and air hockey)! I’m so sorry we had to go away on Saturday. I understand Steve and I missed out on a great day in Chicago.
Gary – you should have a blast on Wednesday!
What a Great Night!!!
As you all may know I just recently turned the big two one (A.K.A DRUNK) haha just kidding dad! To celebrate this wonderful occasion my wonderful cousin Shannon came out to celebrate with me and a couple of my friends down at some of the ISU bars. She felt right at home. Basically I’m just posting this to say that not only do I wish all of you could have joined us but also to thank Shannon soooo very much for driving down to celebrate a birthday I’ll never be able to remember.
The Expectant Couple
Future pictures will be monthly updates of Dawn’s growing tummy. Her due date is Oct. 5th (we’re hoping she’ll hold out until Steve’s birthday of Oct. 8th)!
Please refer to us as Grandpa & Grand-mar (and of course Great UncleLar)!
Mr. & Mrs. Brian Bergquist
Their first intro as Mr & Mrs:
What a Blast!
It’s official!!
And we may have a new tradition.
Beerin’ & breakin’…..
Reunion in July?
How ’bout it? No responses? (to Mar’s thought…July) I just want to get the topic back to the top. We all have to make plans… I have a deposit down already, so I have to move soon. Whaddya’all say?
Reunion in August?
Seems Brian’s wedding will be another “near reunion”. But not quite.
So, I want to ask, “Can we re-unite ‘down-the-shore’ this summer?” We go to Brigantine, NJ every year, the week preceding Labor Day. This year that would be Aug 26 – Sept 2 (Sat. to Sat.).
I hope everyone remembers Brigantine. Larry may never have gone, but the rest of us, I think, did. There are 3 points I want to make that differentiate it a bit from most shore-towns:
• It is very family oriented, not a teen-scene (tho if you wander the beach “uptown”, I think the teens in the family could find some fun).
• It is one town north of Atlantic City, where one can find a variety of adult entertainment. Including (finally) some good restaurants.
• There is excellent golf nearby.
If we want to do this, we should be prepared to commit to house-rentals soon. I’ll do the legwork if it seems do-able.
FWIW, I may bring the family to Chi for Xmas-time ’06. After that, it may be some time before I’ll plan another trip. If we can’t reunite this summer, maybe Xmas-time could work.
One of my favorites
Shannon’s 21st birthday. Gary and I flew in and teamed up with Ron and Steve to surprise her. We just walked into the bar where she was celebrating the birthday with her girlfriends. When she saw us, she did this double take that was almost as amazing as the look we got from Kenny when we surprised him for his birthday (or the look I got from Marilyn, Mary, and Mary Ann the time I surprised them at a Chippendales show). She then let out a scream and ran over to hug us. I’m sure her girlfriends didn’t have a clue what was going on.
More Halloween Moments
Natalie was exactly four and a half that Halloween. As cool as trick or treating was growing up in Chalfont, the block we lived on in SLC was a kid’s dream come true.
60 houses in a 2 block area…all lit up and well stocked with goodies. The kids made a huge haul in under an hour. But Larry ate most of it.
