This past week was a blast as we spent time in utah visiting family. Aaron was able to get some extra time off, so we spent the first part of the week with just our family. We were able to take the kids to the zoo and the park. They had so much fun! And I took tons of pictures!
Then, on wednesday we spent the day with my grandparents. My grandpa took Aaron and Nicolas golfing, and I spent the day with the girls and my grandma while she taught us how to sew a quilt. The girls loved being able to make their own blanket.
On thursday my parents and brothers got there. It was great being able to see them all again. On friday we went to the temple with my parents and grandparents. We were able to take some of Aaron's family names through and get their work done. My mom and my aunt even ended up with sisters, which was fun.
Then, friday night the reunion began. We all had dinner together, played some games, roasted marshmallows, and just got reacquainted. Then saturday we had breakfast, and helped grandma and grandpa with some work around the house and yard. After lunch we took some family pictures, then we played our own version of "minute to win it". It was hilarious watching all our different family members doing such random, silly games :). On sunday we went to church, then had our own little testimony meeting. It was nice being able to hear the testimonies of my grandparents(which i've never heard before), and even my dad, which I only remember hearing maybe once. Then all my dad's siblings gathered around and talked about "remember when's" from their childhood. I loved hearing all their stories.
All in all, a wonderful vacation with lots of fun memories made.
