Packer Reunion

We had such a great time camping up in swan valley for the Packer reunion!  Unfortunately, my phone died almost immediately and I didn't get any pictures except this cute one on the first night.  This is Addy, Logan, and Leo all playing with the construction trucks in the dirt.  The kids all had so much fun running around together!  There were a ton of trails that went around behind the camp sites and the kids explored them and built forts and played all sorts of amazing games.  We actually hardly saw them!  The adults played a lot of slammo, ate food and chatted, it was wonderful.

We went up to Heise Hot Springs to swim one day and the kids enjoyed the pool and slides and especially the giant hot pool.  Julie and Brian went and picked huckleberries, but we bagged it and just went swimming early.  Those mountain roads are not very friendly on pregnant ladies!  Plus, Zac and the kids are not that into picking huckleberries (they do love eating the jam that I make, haha).

My mom made fun t-shirts for everyone and did a very intense treasure hunt for them.  They loved it and that was probably their favorite part of the reunion.

We hiked down to some pretty waterfalls and Zac and the kids went right down to it.  I remember taking pictures, but I also remember being so paranoid that someone would fall of the cliff that I was borderline hysterical so I guess that I can't be too surprised that I can't find any pictures.  Maybe they will turn up and I'll add them in.

It was a little too short, but we still had a great time.  The kids love being with their cousins and I love being with my family so everyone is happy!

Daniels Family Reunion

We had such an excellent time with the Daniels family in Bear Lake this year.  The water was high, because of all the sun, but that didn't stop us from having a blast!

My favorite was renting a paddle board and playing on it all day.  I was so sore the next day I could barely walk, but it was worth it.

We also rented a boat, which the kids absolutely loved.

The three littles got pretty tired out by the end and the boat put them all to sleep.  It was the cutest thing to just watch them all drop one at a time on grandma and grandpa's laps.


The next day we went golfing.  Teagan was Dad's caddy and loved driving the cart around and getting him his clubs.

I just took joy rides with Eloise, Adeline, and Zoey and didn't bother golfing.  It was actually really fun, those golf carts go so fast!

We definitely enjoyed the pool at Harbor Village.  Everyone got in, which makes it so much more fun!  The boys had some wild ideas, like throwing Teagan through an inner tube.  Grandma and Grandpa also bought some fun little guns that we spent a lot of time shooting at each other.  The pool was really fun.

Our last night we ate at Coopers which was delicious and wonderful, as usual.  It was a great ending to a fun weekend!  Not pictured is us playing psych for hours every night and the kids climbing on the roof and building amazing forts and having a ton of fun together.  We sure love the Daniels family!

Beauty Queen

Eloise has gotten into earrings lately and it has been so funny.  She discovered that she could put pen lids on her ears and they look like earrings.  All our lids disappeared and I found her and Adeline playing dress up and I about died laughing.  I told her that we should just go get her ears pierced and she did not want to.  She's been earning money for clip on earrings which has been pretty fun.

4th of July Fun

The 4th of July was so much fun.  We had our annual col-de-sac party and enjoyed being with our friends and neighbors so much!  

On the actual day we got our bikes and met grandma and grandpa Daniels at Snake River Landing and went on a fun bike ride.  We got off the bikes and played on the rocks and looked at pretty flowers.  Then we let the kids pick a few bounce houses to play on and Teagan got to ride a zip line! It was such a fun day.  We ended up going back home for a BBQ and slip-n-slide and then finished off the night at Jake and Angie's house with more food and the fireworks show.  It was a wonderful day.
