A week of Cool weather in Park City...oh, and a Reunion

Who knew that going up into the mountains by a few thousand feet lets you cool down by 40 degrees over being in Phoenix. It was a little summer heaven. We had a blast seeing all of my brothers and sisters from all over and being with my parents. We had an auction, a slide show night (thanks to Geoff for helping get ours done last minute), a near professional variety show ;) (Hollywood is knocking, baby), went to the Olympic Park Alpine Slide and SLC, board games at night after the kids went to sleep, and swam...A LOT. Oh, and family pictures. As the photographer said, kids the world is your oyster. They earned (i.e. were bribed with) a few popsicles for making it through. They are amazing pictures. Hopefully I can get permission to put one of our family on the blog!

Our Reunion t-shirt was designed by my co-organizer and sister, Saralyn. She drew the caricature of my parents herself. Katie put it on backwards this day. Silly girl, but it shows the picture really well.

Playing games during and after the...

auction was a lot of fun. We made enough money to pay for our pizza the last night! And the kids got some really fun things to play with.

Here we are at the Olympic Park before we go down their Alpine Slide. The kids had a blast! The skiers were jumping that day and it was a lot of fun to watch them do their jumps.

Playing tag with cousins was a lot of fun...

My kids got to do a skit with Grandma and Grandpa during the Variety Show. Those Grandparents are really cute!

A surprise baby shower for my little sister...she is a Betty Crocker ad. :)

A top the Conference Center for a tour with the Salt Lake Temple in the background. It was beautiful. The paintings inside are absolutely gorgeous. Well worth the trip and some wiggly kids.

I think there was money on the line in this card game...

Gondolas galore. Riding in the sky was a lot of fun...

We got to see our good friends the Harris'. They showed us around the BYU campus to see all of the changes. Many gorgeous buildings and such a peaceful feeling...

There is nothing like starting the recruiting trips at a young age.

It only took a few days to recover after this very busy week. It was a lot of fun. Now we are just sitting back and waiting for the next adventure. :)
