Family Reunion

Every year we head up to Island Park for the Family Reunion! We stay at my Uncle's huge cabin with around 70 some cousins! It really is a lot of fun, and everyone knows eachother since we've done this every year since we were little, so we all have a good time together!

First Day- We headed down Henry's Fork in the canoes with the fishing gear!
Mark, Brady, & Jeff loading the canoes to our car-


Mark mooning us with his Man-kini in the background of Kate and Brady!

And we're off- Aldon was so excited to try out his new Rocket fishing pole!

Katie, Brady, & Jeff in the other canoe, came with us too!

Mark, Aldon, Me(7 months prego), & Adi


Adi loved canoe hopping

Adi loved to paddle all by herself

My brother Jeff the "Poser"

Aldon paddling while Daddy fishes

Saw a baby moose alongside us

There was a Huge Male Moose at the end where you take out at Mack's Inn
he's just under the tree branch i the background right side.

Having Family Home Evening- back at the cabin- we do this every night up there and play silly games, tell jokes, guess who did what that year, hear great grampa's war stories, and learn about our heritage, etc..

All the Uncle's (my dad's bro's and sisters) brought up lots of toys

Water Trampoline



Jet ski's
My Dad's Boat

Even the Annual Potato Cannon Launcher off the deck!
My dad and his dad( Grampa R)

The kids try to catch it down below on the lawn
most of the potato's launch out into the lake, but some of the dud's go down to the grass where the kids have a fun time with em!

Adi watching all the events from up on the balcony


And the Four-wheelers!
We brought up 2, my Uncle has another one, and they brought up this sweet Razor! It's like a mini jeep 4-wheeler, with super shocks, so even me super prego with worrying about all the bumps, didn't feel a thing and was able to keep up with the boys!



We made it to CoffeePot Canyon, and hiked down to the river below

Aldon and Mark

Dalton and Aldon

Gorgeous Canyon

The kids that came: Madison, Jordyn, Dalton, Aldon, James


Now we are headed back

Dalton and Aldon both fell asleep on the Razor next to me during our ride back home: it really was that comfy! A True ATV for a Pregnant woman!

The winding trails thru the trees finally led us to the dirt road to get home faster!

Gorgeous ATV trip the last day up there in the Mountains!
We love going to the Family Reunion!

We have yet to go to these infamous family reunions since we've been married. I think there's like 3/4ths of Logan's family I still have never met - there's SO many but it looks like y'all had a blast!!! And you look fabulous bytheway! I loved Mark's mankini moon shot & your dad's super sweet swimming outfit going down that canal bytheway! ;)
