June's a Bloomin' Family Reunion

In June we had a family reunion in Warm Springs, Nevada for lance's family. We headed down on thursday and to make things a little cheaper we packed our own little picnic and stopped in Fillmore and ate our dinner in the middle of Carls Jr. parking lot. Alyssa loves her little chair she gets to sit in. We stayed with Sarah and Camron and then headed down to the reunion Friday morning. Most people camped thursday and friday night but we decided it was to much to pack for such a long distance for only one night so we just went down for the day to swim and hang out. It was my first time meeting most of Lance's relatives since most live in Colorado or further away. We had lots of fun with all the family and it was good to meet them and put faces with names. Alyssa loved the pool since it was like bath water and loved all the attention she got from everyone. She loved having tons of kids to play with to. It was really hot but we still enjoyed swimming, mingling and all the good food we had. They had a talent show at the end of the day and it was great to see all that participated (which didn't include Lance or I since we aren't very talented!) Saturday we just hung out in St. George and caught up on some sleep since we got back so late on Friday. The girls (Sarah, Gracie, Alyssa and I) went shopping and the boys Lance and Camron went to a movie. Sunday Gracie was blessed by her dad Camron so we went to there Sacrament meeting then had a lunch at the park. It was great food and good to see a few people still around from the reunion before we headed back home. It is always a long ride home when you are tired and just want to be there. We had a great busy weekend.

Alyssa was exhausted after swimming and luckily I got her to take a little nap, here she is snoozing in a tent on everyone's sleeping bags for some cushion.

Alyssa was such a big girl helping feed little Gracie. She loved to feed her and give her her binkie when she was crying. She knew what she wanted just what Alyssa wants when she is cranky!
