Wow...reunions are so much work, but worth it! My family was over my dad's big family reunion this year. We decided to have the reunion at Bryce Canyon since my family has made so many good memories there over the years. It was a really long drive for some of my cousins, but I am so glad they came. After tons of stress making sure we had everything ready, we all had a blast! We went on a few different hikes in the canyon, played some games, went swimming, rode bikes, ate and then ate some more. :) It was fun talking with my cousins about memories they have of our grandparents since they have both passed away. It was way fun just visiting and catching up with them too. The only time we ever really see each other anymore is at our reunion.
This is what Briggs looked like after only 10 minutes of being there. We didn't even have camp set-up and he was covered in dirt from head-to-toe and basically stayed that way the whole time. Thank goodness we went swimming a lot to get cleaned off! :)

My brother Ben and his friend Natalie went to the reunion this year. It was a big deal for me because I haven't really seen or talked to my brother in a few years and my boys have never really been around him. All they know about Uncle Ben is stories that I tell them. I didn't get a great picture of them all together, but I did get one. Jaygen followed Uncle Ben around a lot and thought he was pretty neat.

Jaygen resting down in the canyon. I thought he looked so cute and he was a trooper!!
One of the groups that hiked down in the canyon. We had to stop for snacks and drinks.
My dad made a little "tow-rope" because he knew he would need to use it with atleast one grandkid to get them out of the canyon. Sure enough, Pace was pulled out and then carried out. Pace did a really good job though for being such a little guy.
