Salt Lake Cousin Memories

When I was a young girl my parents and I went to Salt Lake City, Utah often as we had a lot of family that lived in Salt Lake.  My favorite part of the trip was visiting cousins.


One time Relia Nan, the daughter of Jean Leonard Hoover, and her boyfriend took me to Lagoon with them.  I thought I was in 7th heaven when this beautiful older cousin was letting me tag along with them. 


Margo Leonard, Jack Leonard's daughter, was someone else who was fun to visit when in Salt Lake.  Even though we were 2nd cousins, we were the same age.  One time Margo and I went swimming at Liberty Park.  We also went to one of those photo booths and had crazy pictures taken of us.  I still have those pictures!


While in Salt Lake we stayed at the home of Denise (Leonard) and Norbert (Nibs) Collette.    Michael, Denise's son, and I are the same age so we did a lot of things together. When we were really young I can remember that our mothers would have us take baths together.  I can still remember when our mothers put a stop to it!  One time Michael and I decided that we wanted to do a romantic scene like in the movies.  I was going to sit on his lap and then we were going to kiss.  It all went well until we were ready to kiss.  For some reason I just couldn't do it and jumped off Mike's lap and ran away. 




Note:  Both Jean and Jack are siblings of my grandfather, Gerald Ray (Bud) Leonard...and Denise is his daughter.
