Tuesday was the first exciting day of the week. I went to lunch with some old buddies and then went to a family outing at the Roy Aquatic Center in, surprise, Roy, Utah.

A reunion of the minds

Jon, Thom, and I were inseparable in junior high school. We attended West Lake Junior High in Granger, Utah and were cohorts and partners in crime in West Lake's Gifted & Talented (GT) program. We also made a number of stupid — but interesting — videos in our youth.

We're almost grown up now. Jon and I work with computers and Thom is a musician and a daddy.

We decided to get together for lunch on Tuesday at a joint that hasn't changed much since our juvenile days: Scott's Drive-In.

Anyway, we had a good visit. We're going to be reunited again on September 10 when we attend the Styx concert at the Utah State Fair.

Here are some pictures.

Free water for the whole family!

Tuesday night was also a pot-luck dinner at the Roy Aquatic Center for families of the staff. Christine's little brother Aaron works there, so we went along with Christine's sisters Melissa, Sarah, and Laura (and their respective familes) and their parents.

It was fun. They kids loved it and it was nice that there were only about 80-100 people there, so you didn't have to wait in line for the slides, and there was plenty of room to play around in.

And... here are some pictures from that:
