Family Reunion

 On our way to the family reunion this year, we stopped at two places for the kids. At the top, the place where dad and mom were engaged. Unfortunately, it was 106 degrees that day and we couldn't hike!. Below that, the place where mom and dad were married.  Then on to Alton, Utah to meet the rest of the fam.
I don't have many pictures from this week because I, along with a few of the kiddos (not mine) suffered from what felt like a 24 hour plague. I also have lost the group photo of the 39 of us. That's right, 39. All in one, large and pretty awesome cabin. The kids had so much fun playing with cousins, hiking at Bryce, making catapults and watching The Princess Bride outside at night.

FHE and Star Wars

The Boy taught Family Home Evening last week. He decided to tell the story of Lehi and his family, but he couldn't remember Lehi's name. So this followed:

The Boy: What's the name of the guy? The one that told the people in Jerusalem that they needed to repent or the city would be destroyed?

(Long pause)

The Girl: Ooooo, is it Luke Skywalker?!

Fourth of July

We stuck with our regular tradition of attending the Blues Game for the 4th and added in the really cute Cayucos Parade with our good friends.

We also went to the unparallelled party at the Harris ranch. They are always so generous to do this every year. Blow up houses, snow cones, corn hole, music, games, food, and all our friends....this party has it all!
