Last week we went to my Stum family reunion in Moab, Utah. It's for my dad's side of the family and we have it every 2 years. It's a normal sized family, 1 grandma, 5 kids, 26 grandchildren and probably that many great-grand children. So there were a lot of us there and it was fun! We each had our own air conditioned cabins and thank heavens because it was HOT!!!! Plus the mosquitoes and sunburn combined with sunscreen and bug repellent were a bad combination. When are they going to invent a sunscreen and bug repellent combination? Well, I came to church tanned and burned in odd places while Samuel was sunless but bit ridden. His teachers thought he had the chicken pocks.
Before we went to Moab and after we went to Mt Pleasant we went to the Dinosaur Museum in Price, Utah. We have so many in Utah and Colorado that I want to take in while Samuel is still interested in them.
We went river rafting, swimming, hiking at Arches Nat'l Park, we ate, we lost sleep, we talked, we were bitten, burned and had a great time!!!! I love exploring and watching my kids as they discover rocks, arches, lizards, swimming and making new friends with cousins! I love family reunions!
i'm the first whoo whoo. i love all of the pictures! i also love family reunions. i'm glad you had a chance to get outside and enjoy the summer.
ReplyDeleteAMEN to that!!!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Looked like you had a great time. I love the arches it is so much fun there. The bugs are bad this year. Were going camping this weekend and Iam scared that we are going to get eaten a live.
ReplyDeleteI love family reunions too!
ReplyDeleteNow I have to post mine with the same photos because I really only have yours. And what more can I say.
ReplyDeleteNice trip! There is always Avon's skin so soft with SPF. There is no deet, but it is pretty good bug repelent and mild for kids.
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous...we don't have any fam. reunions this year. What a fun idea (Moab)! I love the pictures! Poor Samuel...I hate bug bites...I always get a million! Take care!
ReplyDeleteoh wow! that is so great!!! I haven't dared to take my kids out into that kinda stuff...but you inspire me. I would LOVE to go to the zoo next week. I will call you!!! Oh, and my photography isn't much...it really looks like that.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you guys had lots of fun! Moab is beautiful! The cabins sound very nice, much better than tents!
