Utah or bust

Well we just got back from a fun family reunion trip to Utah where we saw lots of cousins and got to go camping again. A few highlights included visiting Auntie Johanna and her new baby Denten. 

Then we headed to Ogden to stay with Uncle Matt and Aunt Christy. They have a beautiful new remodeled kitchen! We got to go on a nice family bike ride and also go hiking to a waterfall. 

After a few days with them we got together with Celeste, Chrissy and Matt and their families for a BBQ and swim party at Nana and Grandpa Keith's. The next day we headed up to Heber Valley Camp where we visited with lots of people at the Seth Alta Wilson family reunion. The boys had a blast with bubbles, s'mores and dirt. 

Cannon was so happy to make a mound of dirt. It was funny. My Mister and I went on a hike, where we found a few fun things. 

This random truck was in the middle of nowhere.  And this is the view from the top. 

I particularly like Travis' facial expression. Travis and Carrie came up to camp with us on Friday night. It was funny when people asked how she was related to the Wilson's! 

When we asked Cannon what his favorite part was, he said it was the paddleboat. Thanks to Dad we were moving most of the time(-; what great adventures & memories. 

Reunion in Port Orchard

This week has been really fun. We were able to spend one last week in the town we "grew up" in at a old mobile home my parents recently sold. We had everyone there except Michelle and Dallin who sadly were in Michigan on an Engineering internship at Dow. Lisa and Ikaika came from Phoenix and Carrie and Travis came from Utah to join us. On Sunday we were able to go to our old ward and we had fun running into old friends. Monday we went to Mullenix Ridge Elementary School and we were able to hang out with Sarah Hill Serad and her kids.

Eli is so happy!

Cannon and Cole were instant friends just like their Mommy's were nearly 25 years ago. When did we get that old? At family home evening Monday night we enjoyed talents from Sterling, Hana, Lydia, George, Samuel and then Mom and Dad who announced in song form that they will be serving a part time local mission in the Tricities! 

Tuesday we went to Jackson Lund park and Jake and I were able to go bike riding on some awesome trails.

Then we spent the afternoon at Long Lake, the boys LOVED it!

Wednesday we went to Manchester State Park and enjoyed the low tide. Afterwards we went to the pier where we spotted lots of fish and jellyfish. The evening was spent around the campfire, much to Cannon's delight! 

Thursday we packed up and then headed to Bremerton's USS Turner Joy which we toured.

Next we boarded a Ferry to Seattle...

In Seattle we enjoyed the Aquarium before we headed home. 

All in all it has been wonderful! We love this family. 

Grandma, Grandpa and the grand kids.
