Hill Family Reunion 2011

I have been remiss in posting about this only because I took no pictures. Not a single one :( We went to Island Park over Labor Day weekend. It was so wonderful! I am one of those oober lucky people that has amazing in-laws, and Burke's parents and all of his siblings/ in-laws, and his niece and nephews were there. We also were excited to meet Brooke who will be joining the family officially right after Christmas! Since I have no pictures here are a few highlights that I enjoyed (in no particular order):

• Family Picture Bingo
• Games and Play-dough with the kiddies
• Walking to church in the mountains
  
• The Cat-Eye Night Hike
• Pedicures
• Canoeing Warm River
• The Brother's Bike Ride
• Reading Burke's journal that his parents kept for him when he was small.
• looking at scrapbooks and old funny family photos
• laughing until my sides hurt
  
• All of Grandma's Yummy treats and food :)

We also were lucky enough to sneak in a quick visit with my parents and Ron and Brittany Lyn on Monday evening. Then, Tuesday we went to Grandma and Grandpa Hill's to see the chocolate factory and we tried a few new flavors (Huckleberry Creme anyone?) and had a nice visit there. Afterwards, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Ferguson's and enjoyed fresh tomato sandwiches on Grandma's famous toast before we hit the road for home. It had been far too long since we had enjoyed a visit with them, so I was thankful we had the chance to go and see them. I wish we had found time to see my Grandma Youd before we left, but hopefully I will get to see her & Grandpa over the upcoming holidays. As always, it was too quick, but we are all counting down the days when we will get together for fun times again!!
