The joy before Katie's tears after they fell.
The sweetest pic ever... if only she wasn't falling. Nice Bean!Below photo by Nick EscobarBelow photo by Kristina Magda

SLC

Tony's funeral was held in his hometown of Salt Lake City. Those of us not from there flew out for a few days. It was good to see everyone again and to hear all the wonderful things people had to say about Tony. Although it was odd to see everyone dressed up and in suits. The city was really neat, and I wanted to climb those mountains. I didn't want to leave because I knew I had to move down to corn-filled Peoria in like two days and start working.The view from our hotel room at the hotel Monaco. They offered us a goldfish when we checked in. "I can't be trusted with a fish."
