The Sibling reunion.

 ..Has it really been a year already?
It's fall and time again for the annual  Sibling reunion.

As usual it's just my brothers and me and our spouses
along with our mom and her husband getting together for the weekend at a brother's house in Orem. And once again it's very low-key involving mostly just visiting and eating and more visiting and eating.

 

 This year we managed to squeeze  a drive around the Alping Loop.

 Stopping to take in the scenery.

These turkeys weren't at all concerned about the upcoming Thanksgiving. They just marched across the road not even caring about the traffic or the by-standers.

 I love Craig's pot rack that he built from metal tubing, shelf brackets and huge nails. 

Wishing I had the right spot.

And again the main gathering spot was around the puzzle.  

But this year we didn't even finish it.

 Eatting was still the main focus.

 Mom and Richard did sing an impromptu song.

 Karl and Richard entertained themselves with a little more  music.

Mom brought this interesting object to Lorin
and he was thrilled to finally inherit it. What is it you might ask?
I really have no idea.

  Mom had bought it many years ago. It's suppose to turn negative electrical fields into positive ones

...or something like that. 

Lorin, an electrical engineer, has been laughing at it and about it ever since.

But it was good to see each other again...at least once a year.
