"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

Family Reunions

We went to Utah for two of Josh’s family reunions in one day. One reunion was for his Grandma Williams family and the other reunion was for his Dad’s cousins, the Phillips family. They were thirty minutes away from one another so we just went to one and stayed for a little while and then moved on to the next, they were both very fun! The first one for his Grandma’s family was in a field with a home made water slide that went down the hill by the field. It was actually really fun. Whoever was in charge of the reunion rented this field and water slide that someone owns. The kids had a blast!! There was a big slide and a small slide for little kids. So much fun, we were so glad that we could take the day off and go have fun.

 

Here are Kynzee and Kenna waiting in line for the small slide and in the background Maddy is hiking up the hill for the bigger slide.

Maddy was so nice to her sisters, if they were scared to go down the big slide she went with them.

Jaxon would not keep his head up for me to take his picture!

These are the only two pictures of the water park. It’s hard to take pictures when you are playing in the water.
