Utah - Part 1 - Family Reunion

This past June we flew to Utah for a family reunion.  We camped at Palisade State Park near Manti and had such a good time.  Matt and I have been married almost ten years and this was the first time we've been able to go to the reunion.

My three favorite things were...

(1)  Watching Willa run around with all of her cousins and second cousins
The reunion was for Matt's mom's siblings and their families.  Matt is one of eight kids and Marcia is one of fourteen (I think).  So when everyone gets together, it's a big crowd.  I am from a very small family.  My parents each have one brother.  It was so fun to watch Willa discover she is part of such a big family.

(2) Meeting cousins that I've only known through the blogging world and catching up with some of Matt's Aunts that I hadn't seen in 8 years!  Loved that so much! (Why didn't I take any pictures of this! Oh, I know, because I never take pictures. I hate that about myself, but I just enjoy my time so much better when I don't have a camera around my neck.)

(3) Getting time with my own little family of 4!

Clark hadn't started walking yet so he got around on all fours...
He did crawl the "right" way on soft carpet, but on any other surface, he chose this method...

We spent our days enjoying the lake...

And we spent our meals and evenings visiting with family.

Sinika - I think this is one of your boys fishing. Cute!
