More Summer Stuff

We have been winding down our summer.  We've mostly just not done a whole lot.  I went to Girls Camp and after that, we went to The Tour of Utah.  It came through our town so we decided to pick a spot to watch.  We picked a nice, steep spot so we could see the riders well.  They went around the route twice, so we got to see them twice.


Here's the guy in the lead with some chasers right behind him. 





This was the guy in the lead the second time around. 


It was really exciting to see all the police and riders and pomp that went with it.  The whole circut was lined with flags.  We even got on TV a couple of times because we were at the right spot in the right time. 





We had my family reunion just this last weekend.  We went down the river on four rafts.  My Mom and Dad even came with us.  We didn't get pictures, because who brings a camera down a river amiright Nathan?  (Inside joke.  Nate lost his sister's GoPro camera on the river.)  We did have some fun water fights with the other boats.  Mark, Cameron, Karen and I were the rowers in our boat and it was a little hard to shield Reagan from the water and splash people with my oar.  Reagan didn't really like the getting wet part.  Cameron, Liam, Owen, Erin and Reagan were all really brave and jumped into the river.  It was COLD!!  Good for them!  Then on Saturday, we went up Dry Fork and hung out at Remember the Maine Park and had a talent show and lip sync battle.  Sunday was Keith's baby's blessing and family pictures and a family meeting.  It was a fun time and nice to see everyone.



This is a 4 generation picture for Garrett.

Another 4 generation, but for Keith this time.

Keith won the singles battle.

I didn't get a picture of them, but Dillon and Ethan won the group battle.  Here are Susan and Laurie dancing backup for Kayla.


Everyone had fun.  There was lots of food and fun and our kids loved playing night games and sleeping in the living room with all the cousins.  We also had an outdoor movie one night.  We had pizza and watched Big Hero 6 on the side of the Rosses' house.  We made some good memories!
