We stayed in a big hotel like lodge and took up basically the entire bottom floor so every night after our 20 children were sleeping we played cards and chatted and had a spiritual thought and such. It was a blast! Awesome to all fit in the same space!
Cousin time is the best!
We utilized the child care and played our hearts out! Like a week long date! We'd see the kids for an hour at lunch and then from 4:30 on. Other than that we repelled, went to talks, played in way too many basketball, ping pong, and badminton tourneys, played laser tag and tennis, went to he game room, mini golf... Oh yeah, and that time we played 2 on 6 volleyball against those California boys...and they beat us?! They were the 2...yikes. And I broke my pinky toe. Not worth it!
While there we took family pictures!
Now that's a family!! I wonder what the average age is?
This is what 20 grand kids 8 and under looks like! Now there are almost 22!
Justin and I spent our 10 year anniversary there at the reunion. 10 years baby! 5 kids! 4 houses! 3 moves! 2 degrees (for you anyway!)! 1 awesome life! Love you and am so grateful to have YOU as a partner. You are such a help to me in all areas of life and I am glad I am YOURS and that you love me so much.
While the photographer to pictures of all the other families I tried to snap some single shots of my kids to update our pics on the walls. I REALLY need to learn how to shoot manually...Should have done that BEFORE having children. Great investment!
This kid and his eyebrows!!! Ha ha! So expressive.
I mostly love the one on the left because it shows her adorable hair cut. LOVE it on her!
Cutie pie. They had this fun little wild west village to play in and they had a few family activities there too.
He loved it! Stinking cute.
But then again, what doesn't he love? He even loves being in jail.
We wanted to put these two in the photo cut out because basically they have the same face! Zach and Kara look quite a bit alike when it boils down to it!
Proof they don't always get along! HA! Kids are going to think they always had the perfect smiles and such with the digital technology we have now!
And moments later they are BFFs again. Twin life.
Justin the champion belayer. I went first...so no pics of me. But was was equally as amazing.
The triplets' wagon was a hit!
Beautiful area!
I wish I would have known this was going to be such an active reunion! I had no idea I'd be in workout clothes all day basically! I think we each only brought 1 pair or maybe 2 and by the end of the week...woo wee. Especially Justin's stuff. Ha ha!
Kate knows Everett's love language. :)
Panning for gold!
My cute men.

Face painting at the carnival! Kara and Kate were Rainbow Mermaids I think? They stood in line SO long for this. It was worth every moment to them. They felt beautiful! Zach was a tough BYU Football player.
And our little kitty. :)
The last night they hosted a family dance! We thought we'd go for a bit...and stayed until the end! It was so fun!
Kara's boyfri- I mean counselor Joseph. She LOVED this guy! I hope she marries a nerdy, nice, without guile man like him some day! Good taste Kara.
And their other counselor, Jess or something?
Kate found him the next morning at breakfast to say goodbye. :)
After Aspen Grove we spent a couple days in Utah with my siblings that live there. Cute girls at Cousin David's football game.
These crazy kids were all about the reptiles. Eew. Zach wants a snake so bad. I just can't do it! A lizard...okay. Maybe.
