The Gibson side of the family had a reunion the last weekend of July to celebrate Uncle Allyn's 88th birthday. Clark, the girls and I drove down to Alamosa a few days beforehand to spend a few days with Mom and Dad and Daniel before whisking Mom away to the reunion. Since we were driving, the girls got TWO new states on their checklist: New Mexico and Texas.
One of the first things we did in Texas was visit Granddaddy, Toots (his wife, my great-grandmother), and Aunt Geraldine (his sister) at the Restlawn Cemetery in El Paso. We had the employees clean up the grave site a little bit and left new flowers.

Bob and Joy were kind enough to offer up their house as a place for us to gather for dinner the first night we were down. It was nice to have a more relaxed atmosphere to catch up with cousins, aunts and uncles. Also, there was a pretty awesome cake for the birthday boy!
