Family Reunion

We had a few hours with grandpa before we went to my family reunion. He picked us up from the airport and we went to his reunion for a couple of hours. We weren't expecting cold weather and no luggage but our sister in law was so gracious and took care of us with warm clothes.



Our flight was delayed 3 hours because of a storm. This sweet little dog was a distraction for our kids for many hours. We missed our connection in Denver because we were so late with our other flight. We had to stay the night in Denver. We got in our hotel at 2 a.m. and had to get up at 5 a.m. to catch our flight to SLC. It was crazy especially because our luggage was lost and we didn't get it until late that night. The kids were amazing throughout this whole journey.



All of my siblings and mom went to visit our 90 year old grandma.



At our reunion we had tons of family games.



We couldn't have asked for better weather. We only had a day of rain and the rest of the week was beautiful.




The cousins had a movie night together.





Kevin did the ropes course. He looked like a pro!!!




It was fun to go to church at camp.




Dad and I did the ropes course. We were so proud of dad because he was scared of heights. Climbing the wall was difficult for me but I made it. I had great cheerleaders in the family to help me along.



Kamren had a blast fishing with his cousin Colin.



Brynn loved going on the train ride at Frontier night with her cousins.



My sister, mom and I went to visit our wonderful aunt who has parkinson's disease. She is so positive.




We had a blast geocashing.



Brynn and Ashleigh loved wearing similar colored shirts each day at camp.



On our last day we went on a beautiful hike to a waterfall.



This is where Kevin and I were engaged 11 years ago. It was fun to be where we could celebrate our 11th anniversary.



Ashleigh and her cousin Ashlyn truly bonded. They are only 6 months apart. They sure loved their time with their counselors.



This is where we stayed. They are only a year old.



We sure loved visiting BYU. It rained for a little bit and then it was a beautiful day. We were able to shake President and Sister Uchtdorf's hands. It was an amazing experience for all of us.



We went to the Oquirrh temple open house. This was our children's first time going through a temple open house. They even have refreshments after the tour. The kids loved that.



We walked Temple Square and also showed the children the Conference Center.



The kids truly were so easy on all of our flights and time in the airport. They sure loved the walkways.



Andrew pretty much slept on all of the flights. This was his first flight.

I couldn't have asked for a better reunion with my family. We haven't all been together with all of our spouses in five years. We had plenty of time to get to know each other better. It was so much fun to see the cousins bond. We loved it so much we plan to do it again in 3 years. I can't wait!!
