Family trip to Utah

The first weekend in August we headed to Utah.  TJ's little brother got home from his mission and the Gray family was having their annual camping trip/reunion.  We got in really late Wednesday night.  Thursday morning we got to see Collin!  Then we went up to visit Grandpa at work.  We all got our eyes checked and then went to lunch with Grandpa.  After lunch we headed back to Grandma and Grandpa's house.  We got all packed to go camping and then TJ and the kids got in Grandma's new pool!  This is the first time they have gotten to swim in it!  It was a huge highlight for the kids!



 Logan LOVED the slide!

 And the beanbag!
 What a beautiful view and a beautiful little swimmer!

 Lily used the kick board and went back and forth across the pool most of the time!

 After they swam for a little, we headed up the canyon and set up camp.  Once camp was set up, the kids started up the mountain!
 TJ's cousins were so good with our kids!  Lily and Logan loved playing with all the kids! 



 Logan played in the mud that is usually a stream.  He played there for hours with the other kids.  He also ended up with soaked shoes every day!  He had a great time!
 They threw rocks for a long time.  It was tricky to make sure that no one got hit.  Most of them are still working on aim!
 Everyone took a turn shooting cans with the bb guns!
 Even Logan got in on the action this year!
 Lily had to have Aunt Allie do her hair.  It turned out really cute!
 The kids and kids at heart painted rocks for hours!
 Logan and Cruz played catch or hand off!

 There were many four wheeler rides.  Logan loved going for rides.
 Logan played catch with Cassie and Collin.  Collin just got home from his mission and Cassie is getting ready to leave on her mission in November.  Glad Logan got to spend some time with them!


 Once again Logan got someone to take him for a ride!  Thanks Uncle Nate!
 And some times Logan would just go sit on the four wheeler because no one was going out for a ride!
 Everyone that came camping made Grandma Gray (TJ's grandma) a bead and we put it on a necklace for her.  She and Grandpa haven't been able to come up the last two years due to health.  When we took Grandma her necklace on Sunday. she was touched we would think of her!   

And Grandma Lisa's grand kids made her a necklace too!  Lily and Wyatt gave it to her!  She loved it!

Saturday afternoon we headed back down the canyon and back to Grandma and Grandpa's house.  After we got rinsed off, we all went swimming.  Everyone that was up the canyon came over and we had a huge party in the pool.  It was a great way to relax after our camping trip.  Then Sunday we went to Church and played games.  Monday morning we headed back to Colorado.  Now we are done with our Summer travels and ready for School to start!
