so long, farewell...


the time has come (and gone) for us to bid farewell to elder tyson smith as he
embarks on his 2-year mission for the one true church.  he left on june 5, just 3
days before his 19th birthday, for the provo m.t.c. before heading to mcallen, tx
for the duration.  and although we loathe utah county (specifically provo) with a fiery
passion (and trust me, this drive did nothing to lessen our passionate dislike), we
were more than happy to meet the fam at the brick oven for one last feast in his honor.



it also meant a few more hugs and pics.  i seriously love this kid so much!



the sisters were there to show their support, too.
what a good-looking bunch of gingers.



especially the one holding the baby.



marty got a little one-on-one time with grandma s, but not nearly enough.
 


and after we had to say our actual goodbyes, we hung out and goofed around in
the shade for a little while longer.  not because we wanted to breathe in as much of
the toxic happy valley air as we could, but so that we could play with our little superman.
