Family Reunion

Last weekend my whole family came to visit us in St. George for our annual family reunion. Addie was so excited that ALL of her cousins were coming to her house to play and that she could visit them in a hotel. The theme was medieval and the first night we met at a park to decorate shields and have a sword fight. Addie loved fighting all of her cousins.On Friday we went to Sand Hollow Resevoir to enjoy sand, water, good food, and some boating. Addie was a bit afraid of the boat after riding on the tube with Andrew. I was totally bummed not to get to ride on the tube, but enjoyed a few boat rides. We had fun playing in the sand and Andrew even volunteered to be buried in the sand by the kids.
On Saturday my Dad set up a challenge of sorts where each family went around St. George with clues and had to find answers to questions about the history of St. George. We had a good time and learned a lot. We had a picnic in the park for lunch. After swimming and some naps we met up for the kids to do a treasure hunt and search for the Holy Grail. They had a visit from King Arthur, which Addie was unsure of, but she did enjoy her treasure at the end. We had a very fun time and we were all sad when it ended, but are glad that everyone could make it.

SLC Trip

A couple of weekends ago Addie and I went took a spur of the moment trip to SLC to visit family. We had so much fun and loved seeing everyone, even though it rained almost the whole time! Addie loves to be with her cousins and constantly asks where they are and what they are doing so it was good to spend time with them.

On Saturday Addie went to Kangaroo Zoo with two of her cousins, Tess and Kate. They were so nice to play in all the bounce houses and go down the really steep fast slides with her. Addie had the time of her life and wasn't afraid to try anything.
On Sunday we had a family dinner at my sister's house. Addie loved jumping on the trampoline and running around the yard with her cousins.
On Monday we played inside a lot, because of the rain. Addie was so tuckered out by the end of the day she fell asleep while watching a movie with her cousins.
