We Are Family









This past weekend, Aaron and I went to his family reunion in Utah. We had so much fun! We met up with his sister Julie, and Adam and Karina(Aaron's twin plus wife). We spent the night at a family friend's house and left the next day for a weekend of camping.
We drove for two or three hours to Joe's resivoir in the canyons. It was really beautiful and really hot! We met up with the rest of the family and started mingling and I went about meeting everyone. It was a little overwhelming, but good. Aaron really helped me out with everyone and made me feel comfortable. I made sure he was always nearby. We ate hamburgers and hotdogs and went about playing games, which is what we mostly did. Morning, noon, and night.
It was time for bed and the thought of sleeping in a hot, muggy tent was not appealing, but we did it anyway. It wasn't too bad, the mornings were cool and not at all hot. We went boating and 4-wheeling. Aaron and Adam displayed their mad wakeboarding skills on Saturday when we were out on the boat. They were both really amazing and they had lots of fun! I also had lots of fun just sitting in the boat observing the fun. I have not quite mastered the skills of wakeboarding nor have I tried. I'll get to it.....someday.
We also had lots of time to spare and hang out in the airport with Adam and Karina on Sunday while we waited for our flights. All in all, it was a fun trip, but nothing feels better than taking a nice, hot needed shower after a long and dirty weekend.
