Midway, Utah

We just went to Utah for a week.  We met my parents there, my sister, my
 brother and my sister in law.  It was kind of a family reunion.  We had decided 
that it was a good central meeting place for all of us.  We stayed up in Midway
 and it was absolutely beautiful.  We had a GREAT  time.  Everyday my mom 
seemed to have some  little toy for the kids.  Max and Lars were playing with
 their Rocket balloons.


Sadie, Abby, and Madisen.  These 3 stayed with Mimi and Papa, separate
 from the rest of us because they are the "Big Girls"  They have such a great
 time together.

The punch balloons were a treat another day.  Jenny and I had a great
war with them.  I won of course.

Jack and Isaac.  We would go out back and sit at night and play, it 
was right on the golf course and was so pretty.

Yes!  and this was the boys playing on the golf course.  My boys couldn't
 wait until the evening when they would just hop the fence and play this 
hole.  Abby is a real stickler for rules and so when everyone else jumped
 the fence that said "Do not go on the golf course" she stayed back until we 
made her go.  Jaxon swinging.

On the 24th of July (Pioneer Day)  we found some small town and joined their 
festivities.  When we got there the "primary children"  were going to sing a song
so Sadie took a couple of the kids up and sang with them.  

We played at the playground.

Sadie, Madisen, and Jaxon joined the watermelon eating contest.

Traci (Cory's sister) joined us.

Many of the gang.

One day we went to Park City and rode the alpine slide.


and the carousel.  Jack, Diane and Lars.

One day we went to Temple Square.  We took a tour of the Conference 
Center, which was a first for many of us.  Mimi and her Grandchildren.

Another Day we went on a small hike to Cascade Springs.  That was just
 truly amazing.  Katie, Jaxon and Max

Diane, Sadie, Abby,  Madisen and Lars



Cory and I can't remember having so much fun.  It was so great to have
 everyone come together and enjoy each others company and enjoy such
 beauty.  We did miss Jonny and his family who couldn't make it.  And Fred
 is still in Afghanistan.  We really missed you guys and hope to see you soon.
