Why we can't fly to Utah this summer

Mom, me, Bob, Tyler (my nephew), Pat (my sister) hiking summer of 2007

My youngest sister lives in Park City and every summer my parents spend a month out there in a rented condo. My middle sister is flying to Utah for a week the end of July. In the past we've flown out and spent a long weekend with the family. Apparently this year just isn't good for that.
Here's Bob's current reasoning:
1. We're pushing our luck with all these plane trips we're taking.
2. Too many children fly on the plane to Tampa (seriously, that's a reason)
3. Those were nice planes we flew on to Salt Lake before, but they won't be the same this time.
4. I don't care if we're still flying Delta like before.
5. It doesn't seem wise, does it?

I ask you, does it?

  1. What a great photo. Your mom is cute as a button!

    I think Bob is on to something with reason number two. There has been some talk about creating designated "family areas" on airplanes. He's just been listening to too much talk radio.

  2. You are so right!
    And, my mom is a pistol! Her nickname when I was in high school was Shot Gun Lil!

  3. Oh my gosh! That's priceless. Can you imagine anyone receiving that nickname nowadays? I'm sure her identity as Shot Gun Lil is quite safe.
