Yea for family reunions!! We went to Island Park in Idaho-- it was so gorgeous and the weather was nice. I LOVE the mountains. I was so busy having fun, that I didn't take many pictures (which Preston is informing me is a major flaw of mine--I can't help it though-- who wants to stop doing the fun thing to turn every moment into a photo op?! Luckily my Dad posted a few on our family website so Preston feels vindicated and asks me to show him the pictures every day. "Remember when we went and slept in the cabins in the mountains, Mom? Remember how much fun we had? Remember when I rode the horsey? Let's go explore the trails around here (what?!) Remember when I went in the canoe with baby Jake? Can we go back to the mountains next week and sleep in our cabin?" . . . . You get the idea that I have been playing 20 questions everyday since!
Really I loved every minute of it! Burke and I went on a trail ride with Rachel, Matt, Mom, Dad, Brooke, and Harrison. (Thanks to Brittany for keeping Rebekah and Jill and Brittney for keeping Preston!) It had been a L-O-N-G time since I was on a horse and I would be lying if I told you it was easy or that I was not sore for days afterward, but it was super fun!
Preston and Burke went on a short canoe trip on the lake with Tj and Jacob.
Rebekah could not get enough of the pony ride or get out of the "h-rsy's" face. She was not wary at all--she kept trying to get into position to kiss and hug the pony. Pretty cute really if I had not been so stressed that she was going to get stepped on!
Rebekah and the little girls & Jacob had a great time in the wading pool! Cute :) Thanks Jill!
It was so fun to see my cute family and SING with Rachel and Brittney-- our one hour a year practice definitely was apparent, but it felt so good to sing with my girls.
We sat in the hot tub and laughed until our sides hurt.
We ate yummy food, snuggled newborn babies, and enjoyed an actual slide show of the "olden days"!
The talent show was a highlight as always :)
Only two regrets:
(1) Missed Karmen & Camille and their families
(2) Not long enough (never is)!
Otherwise for us it was PERFECT :) Thanks Mom and Dad you are the best!!
Right upon our arrival!! Don't we look awesome after 10+ hours of driving?? (thank goodness we didn't do it straight through!!)
Pancake Grill Master Burke --one fine breakfast (if I do say so myself!)
No smiles for the camera--but they LOVED this activity!

I've missed the last 3 posts!! catch up time. :) That reunion sounds like a ton of fun - I love big family reunions like that where everyone can just enjoy each other.
So I'm pretty sure when you say you miss Camille you mean your sister but I will pretend you meant me. I miss you to Michelle!
