Reunion Time for My Side (Day 1 - Thursday)

My side of the family got together last week.  We drove down on Wednesday.  It was 9 of us (nephew Brian too) in our "new" 1999 Suburban that we have only had for 1 1/2 weeks when we left.

On Thursday, we went to a park up in Provo Canyon.  It was Holly's family, David's family, Wendy's family, Brian's family and my little family, and Aubrey of Julie's family - the rest of her family was at Wood Badge.  Mark was in Japan, and couldn't make it until the next week.  

I'm sure what the name of the park was, but it was up South Fork Road.  A little stream went through it, which was perfect for kids to wade and play, and a huge field for frisbee and the "hose" game that Weston taught everyone.  We picnicked and played and explored.  We were there for 4 or 5 hours.   

Ezra played forever with his flip flops, throwing them upstream and then catching them again.

Oliver has the family trait from my side of the family of sticking his tongue out when he's doing something.

I realized how much my nephew Brendan is a nature boy this week.  He sat in this spot forever.

And Jiles did with his hat what Ezra did with his flip flops.

Jiles put his cold wet hat on Uncle Dave.  Dave was a good sport about it.

Our group before Holly and Wendy families got there.  And I was there, too, but obviously behind the camera the whole time.

You'll always find Weston right in the center of the game with the kids.
