Vernal Family Reunion

We had a great family reunion last week in Kaysville and Vernal with the Mellors.  Katie and Steven flew into town after going to New Mexico and it was so great to see them!  We started by having a 24th party at Claire and Bob's house.  Griffin got comfy cozy with Steven right off, best buddies.

The next day we headed to Vernal and enjoyed lunch at a great park.

After lunch we went to the National Dinosaur Monument.  It was really fun!

 That night we played lots of games and hung out all together.  So fun to be all together!  The next day we went rafting down the river and it was so beautiful and peaceful.  That night we got dinner at Tacos El Gordo...a delicious hole in the wall restaurant!

 Bob and Claire were so kind to watch all the kiddos while we rafted!  They took them to the dinosaur museum, the park, and to the community center for swimming.  Super Grandparents!

 After rafting we went to the Demolition Derby.  We went to the ferris wheel and Lincoln LOVED it!  He's the best.

Boating Day

We had a great day on Pineview Reservoir today! It was warm, a little busy, and great to be with family.  Lincoln loved it!  We got him in the tube and he loved it with me.  He kept saying "Up and down on Lincoln's boat".  So cute.

 Josh and Trev were hilarious on the tube.

 The Crew...

 Brett did great on the wakeboard.  All the boys really enjoyed it!

4th of July

We drove in from Denver on the 3rd of July so we could celebrate our freedoms in Utah!  In the morning we went to Golden Corral with Claire and enjoyed a delicious breakfast.  After breakfast we went for a swim and played with Papa and Grandma Claire.

 That night we went to my parents house and had dinner with my grandma and the Kirt Beus Family.  We played lots of games outside and had lots of fun.

 We introduced Lincoln to fireworks and his life will never be the same.   A pyro was truly born that night.

1. Great fourth!

2. Great family!

3. Great freedom!
