Happy 4th of July!

After living in our new place for two weeks we packed up and headed back to St. George for the 4th and a reunion with Riley's family.  We apparently weren't the only ones that wanted to escape the excessive heat we have been having here for the long weekend.  Our already long 7 hour trip turned into 10 hours with all the traffic trying to get out of town.  We finally made it up to Pine Valley and enjoyed getting to spend time with family.  It isn't very often that we are ALL together since each brother lives in a different place and Riley's parents crazy schedule so it was a real treat to have all the cousins play together and have a great time.


It's a tradition in Riley's family to have a reunion on the forth of July and if you are in the area you better be there.  It is a day filled with activities and great food.  The kids had a treasure hunt, made crafts, decorated cookies, played baseball, and lots more.


The next morning we attempted a big family picture.  My kids were so exhausted from the traveling and all the fun they had on the fourth they wanted nothing to do with it, but we pulled it off.  Look at all these cute kids and to think this picture will be out of date in just a few months.

Cutest bunch of kids on the planet! (I'm not prejudice.)

What a nice picture. I have to admit with xomom they are very cute kids. Especially the boy in the orange stripe shirt and navy blue shirt.
