Family Time

Every summer Tyson & Lauren and their family come to Utah for a couple weeks to spend time with family. We pack in lots everyday and have lots of fun hanging out as a family daily until they leave. We make sure to hit up all the food spots they want and we ate with them at Cafe Rio, Taco Time, Barry's and SubZero.

One night we went to the splash pad with all the kids. The cousins all had fun running around in the water and playing. Riley was happier being held or being able to snack on vanilla wafers than playing in the water!

That weekend we went camping up Payson canyon. We spend one day on the lake as is tradition. We lay out in the sun, play on all the pool toys, and eat until we are sick...and then we eat more!

Riley & Ryan had fun playing in their own personal pool and eating all the snacks people would give them.

Lexi wouldn't share her chips with just anyone! And she would only hand them one at a time to people!

Here is Riley perfecting her ability to stand all by herself!

The older kids played in the sand (more like mud!)

Erika thought it would be funny to give herself a mud facial!

 Jordan thought it looked like fun so he joined in making himself camouflaged in mud!

Erika  & Oakley begged everyone to take them in rides in the boats

We had lots of fun that day eating whatever snacks were left laying around:

Getting as dirty as possible:

Eating lunch:

and playing in the water!

That night we had tin foil dinners and played in the dirt some more! It was so dusty and dirty of the canyon it was a joke!

"Hey Lexi give Ryan a hug for the picture"

"I said a hug not a chokehold!" When it finally got dark the kids had fun playing with the glow sticks. They are a must when camping!

Of course what camping trip would be complete without laying in the trailer watching The Wizard of Oz!

Of course I had to take a group picture too! We love cousins!

The next morning while we were cleaning up camp the girls caught a bunch of huge butterflies! They were so pretty!

We have so much fun hanging out with family and can't wait until the next time that we are all together!
