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.
