The Preunion

(originally published February 4th, 2016)

My Mom's family had a big reunion in August and my Mom, a niece, two nephews, my sister, and my brother-in-law were all coming into town a few days early so we got to have a fun Preunion together before we joined up with the rest of the extended family.

Both traveling parties arrived within minutes of each other, so we had a little fun with a welcoming sign at the airport.

Cat and the Little Boys

Got Wheels?

A pizza picnic and a walk to Bridal Veil Falls

These guys climbed the rocks all the way up to where the lower
waterfall landed.  (Is that called the base?)  So much fun.

The rest of us were happy to hang out at the bottom.

Little Boys and me.

Almost at the top.

Why walk back to the car when you can get a ride?

The wave pool at Seven Peaks Salt Lake

This was SUCH a fun morning!  Great weather, fun water stuff, and not very crowded.

That's Jack.

We took Grammy, Will, and Drew to Antelope Island
to take a dip in the Great Salt Lake.

Floatarific.

From Syracuse we drove to Clarkston for the Martin Harris Pageant.
It was a well-done play that managed to keep the kids' attention.
We really enjoyed the play, and the adults appreciated quiet time in the car
on the long drive home while the kids slept.
