Family Reunion

This past weekend we drove to Utah and spent the weekend with Tate's family at his Dad's side family reunion.  We went to Moon Lake camping and it was a blast.  We were in a tent where as 99% of the rest of all the families had campers, but we didn't mind.  It was so much fun.  There is just something about going out into the mountains and being with your family that is just so wonderful.  The minute that we drove into the campground Kasen took off and found his cousins.  He is lucky because he has 3 boy cousins that are his exact same age and a few older boy cousins.  He played and ran with them the entire time we were there, pretty much NON stop.  Only to sleep and eat a few bites of food.  He was so EXHAUSTED by the end that he was sick.  Literally.  Poor little fella!  He took 3 naps on Monday while we were at Tate's parents house and even slept on the way home, which was nice! We played horse-shoes, which by the way am not very good at.  Tate on the other hand is quite the horse shoe player, what a stud I know:) We played alot of card games and learned a few new ones that were way fun.  I had a good time just being able to talk with my sister in laws all weekend.  It was alot of fun.  My sister in laws went for a nice little 5 mile run in the mountains, 2 1/2 downhill and 2 1/2 all uphill.  It was a good run and so beautiful, besides the fact that it's an open range area and the cows were freaking me out.  I didn't get attacked though, so that was good.  All in all, it was a GREAT, Wonderful weekend.  Tate starts guiding in 1 1/2 weeks.  Next weekend I am running in a sweet relay race from Logan to Jackson Hole, so this was pretty much our last hoorah for the next 5 months. 
 Check out those moves.  He was striking some great poses for us:)   Being silly, silly  Kasen
 The whole heard of boys.  Not all of them either!  yeah! 
 There is my little dirt eating girl.  She loved playing in the sand.  She loved getting down in the dirt and water even though it made me cringe when she kept eating it.  Oh well!  We were camping right, it's okay?
 Getting water for the hot tub that Tate dug out.  Then getting more water for the waterfall off the hill they made. 
So much fun.  To my wonderful surprise my good friend Kenna Bame came up with her family for a few hours on Saturday.  Kazia and Kasen are wonderful friends and did preschool with each other this past year.  It was so so great seeing her and her little kids and husband.  She is just one of those down-home GREAT people.  We are running in the race next weekend together and I couldn't be more excited!
