Every 2 years, the Holidays get together for a family reunion. This is the 2nd time we have officially met in Bear Lake. It was just as wonderful as we remember all those years ago.
10 siblings & 31 grandkids
July 4th - 8th, 2011
The location is beyond perfect. We took walks up to Memory Park.
In the mornings and/or evenings, Blake and I enjoyed continuing the Memory Park trail up and around the canyon until it dropped down to the State Capitol Bldg.
Blake and Sammie snuck in a tour of the Conference Center during one of Alayna's naps.
Brigham Young University
Sammie successfully rolled down every hill on campus.
Blake and I replenished our alumni gear at the bookstore.
No visit to Utah is complete without a real estate tour. We drove around Park City and Jordanelle and then stopped by our first home on Traverse Mountain...and yes, we knocked on the door for a tour!
We met Kent & Ginger's 5 girls and Nate/Brittany/Noah up in Park City for the day before we headed up to the family reunion.
We have been showing Sammie videos of the Alpine Slide for weeks!
I could hear her screaming all the way down the mountain.
Peek-a-boo!
I am constantly surprised how well these two play together. They just giggle and yelp, nonstop. Alayna (and Sammie) have been loving all the toys we have stored away.
Fisher Price has the catchiest tunes!
Sam has been really into wearing my dresses lately. Not at all modest, but cute as can be!
And then we had a playdate...
Mary Beth & Emilynn are always game for dress up!
Sammie's ballet friend Noelle invited us to see Camp Rock at the Miller Outdoor Theater. We hesitated only because it is summer in Houston and the play is at an amphitheater...little did we know that we would be front and center (literally)! The stage is air-conditioned and we were in heaven. Alayna and I had to take a few detours to the sidelines, but still had a great time.
