Our Puerto Rican Dinner

This family was so much fun! They know my brother Ryan from church. The mom has 6 sons, one of whom is the Bishop in their ward (at 25). She is the R.S. president at church (far left in video clip) and the dad the H.P. group leader (playing guitar). The ward seemed big enough, but a lot of leadership in the one family. Their youngest is a girl, Gloria, who I think is 15. She took so many pictures of us that night, I showed her my photography website and told her to email me if she has questions. She had fun chasing my boys trying to get a pict of them and they had fun hiding from her.

A lot of love in this home, I LOVED when they played this song for us. I don't even understand spanish, but I wanted to sing along! 2 sons (red shirt is 17, white shirt recent RM from Ogden, 21--his girlfriend is sitting with the neice next to them also singing along) on the drum/tamborine...dad on guitar, daugther and daugther in law (Bishops wife--at right) on other instrument. The song is apparantely a Christmas song about the Coqui, the tree frog native to Puerto Rico. I mean how many 17 year old boys do you see anxiously engaged in a good ole' folk song like this? Strong family, I'd say:) The clip is lengthy, so push the slider to the end if you'd like to see a fee snapshots.
