Quilter Family Christmas Party (Post one of several)

We attended the quilter family Christmas party tonight. my uncle Eric has a very kid friendly house in park city. I'll be sending pics throughout the night. As you can see he has a trampoline in his house (with a basketball court above that you can't make out) and a rock-climbing wall. This is only a small portion of the rock climbing wall. Connecting the three floors of this room is a giant tube slide that goes from floor to floor (sometimes it's hidden in the walls). One other unique thing we saw roaming in his backyard was the most amazing heard of elk. There were close to a dozen elk, some with very impressive racks. I guess in a way, the trip tonight was sort of like visiting the north pole - tons of little elves running around (kids galore), a giant toy factory (play room), and santas reindeer grazing in the background.

The Good Samaritan in 7-Eleven

This college student was the person who bought the homeless man dinner. What a good kid.

So, I've never been much of a blogger. I guess that's because I've always found it too inconvenient to sit down at the computer and type my thoughts for the day. Args is a blogging champ and has been doing so almost all year (check out her blog at all-hale-amy@blogspot.com). recently though, i discovered that you could post to a blog from your cell phone - now this I'm all for. so here is my first blog post from my cell phone. excuse any spelling and grammar errors for obvious reasons. skipping to a different thought, i just encountered one of those moments when you realize how blessed you are. as i was walking down from work i saw a homeless man raiding a dumpster for unused slices of pizza from the pie. as i stood here typing this outside the seven eleven a college kid offered to buy him something inside the seven eleven (after turning down the plea for some spare change) i suppose i should have been quicker to pony up rather than write about the situation.
