The last days of the reunion

After a late night of 4th of July celebrations, we all slept in, and then met up at the neighborhood pool that Amys' parents have.  We splashed and swam for a while with cousins and family.  I love water and swimming, so I had a great time!
Aubrey and Nathan (bag over his cast) soaking in the jacuzzi.

After a nice dip in the pool, we loaded up our camping gear and headed for Santaquin Canyon.  The campsite was picturesque and absolutly perfect, minus the downpour of rain for an hour or two right as we were setting up!  We camped and relaxed and played for a couple days.  I love camping too, so we had a wonderful time!  David caught up on some game time with the family, I caught up on some reading, and the kids played hard with each other, and in the small stream that ran right by our campsite.  Loved it!
My five.  Otter pops too...
Ticket to Ride.  Carl, Dad, Ellen, David, Andrew and Nathan.
Aubrey, out on a limb...
Mom, Amy, Ben and Hannah.

On Saturday morning, the 7th of July, we had a quick breakfast, and broke camp.  And it was over.  Two car loads headed south, back toward Snowflake.  It was a sad, tearful goodbye.  I just wish we lived closer to family.  I miss them....

We headed back north toward Provo, and spent the rest of the day catching up on laundry and loading up the car for our trek back to Montana.  Sunday morning we climbed into the car, and drove the 10 hours home.  Glad to be home, and glad to have seen everyone!  We miss you and love you!
