Family Reunion

I waited for it for so long, and now it's over. We planned and looked forward to it, and just like that, everybody went home. Here are some Heber highlights:


Thanks to Elizabeth and Suzanne for matching girly shorts and matching manly shirts.

the boy cousins in their flags




The first day was full of fun in Park City. There was the alpine slide, the coaster, the carousel, shopping, etc.


David & Lauren





Logan



Suzanne



The next day in the morning we rode the Heber Creeper w/Grandpa, Liz & Kelly. That afternoon was spent kayaking, tubing, and rafting down the Provo River. Elizabeth, Liz & I spent the whole time trying to keep Easton out of the water.

Kelly & her aunt on the train



The next day was spent at Jordanelle (thank you Brian & Cheryl!). Because of Easton's desire to be in the water, he stayed at the cabin with various family members. I tried to wakeboard for the first time, and never got up. Later I tubed and my neck is just starting to get back to normal. Basically, I'm an out of shape wimp! Oh well, I had a great day, and Lauren LOVED it. She even jumped out of her tube so she could "fall out" like everybody else. Brian tried to go get her and she said, "No, I'm okay. I'm kicking with my legs!" Logan took as many turns on the tube as he could, and David got to take a turn also. That night most of my family went to Sundance while Suzanne's family and mine stayed home and got to watch Sarah Jane.


Jessica and Lauren (yes, she's in there)



Logan and Pops

what was I thinking?



Sarah getting some cousin attention


My dad (thanks Dad!) rented a cabin with enough beds and bedrooms for all of us, and a fun game room with a pool table, ping pong table and air hockey table which were kept occupied most of the time. I loved hanging out with the family, playing games and just chatting.

I was soooo mad that i left before the Wakeboarding. What was my mom thinking??? Sending me to scout camp to go die instead of hangin tout with my family. But of course the party left when i boarded the plane so im sure i didnt miss alot.
