Family Reunion

The weekend of the 15 and 16th of June. Kenneth and I ventured to see my parents. When we got to Burley I discovered that Kenneth had leaked out of his outfit. No big deal, changed him and dad thankfully washed that outfit, considering I didn't bring as many extra clothes as normal. When mom got home from work we went to their Ward Dinner/Camp out. We only stayed for the dinner and went back to their place. Where it was bedtime for Kenneth and close to bedtime for the rest of us.

That night Kenneth woke up in the middle of the night and so I fed him. He stayed in bed with me and we slept another 3 hours until mom came in. I quickly showered because we were heading to Utah soon. We discovered Kenneth and leaked out again. Luckily mom was willing to take care of him so I could shower.

After I showered and we ate breakfast, off to Utah we went. I fell asleep and when we were almost there gave Kenneth a bottle. Then once there we discovered yet again he had leaked. Which was just weird. Normally I can change him before he eats and he's fine again until the next time. Luckily we had a spare of clothes and for the rest of the day made sure to change him quickly.

We went to This is the Place and my sister and her family met us there. Along with lots of family members. We were there for the Heber C. Kimball reunion and luckily were able to get into the park for free. We had a lot of fun seeing Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. 

There was a family meeting which we were a little late too, considering Emily, Maddie, and JJ all were dying to ride the "train", it was hard enough getting them to finish lunch. :) It was fun to ride the train and we went through the Brigham Young home. That's when we went back to the meeting. The meeting was interesting there were two of my distant cousins dressed up as Heber C and Vilate (his first wife and my grandma) they read some letters they wrote back and forth. After that they had a raffle and that you got put in just for signing in. I was one of the last ones drawn and received a gift card to Outback. I'm excited for that! free date woot woot.

After the meeting we went and explored. We went to pony rides for the kids and right by that there was a petting zoo that we went around and saw the animals.

Then we went to the schoolhouse that was interesting. They picked on the adults and so I got in trouble and so did Elizabeth.

Elizabeth trying to read the Desert Alphabet

She couldn't read it so she got in trouble

I couldn't stop laughing so I was going to receive some corporal punishment

After the schoolhouse we went to watch some Native American Dancing. That was so fun to watch, especially since I use to do that. Most of the dancers were from the same family and were very friendly. Even asked to hold Kenneth.

All the dancers

After the dancing we rode the train up to go pan for gold that was fun to do. Asher was hilarious to watch. Elizabeth had left him in the stroller but he was so anxious to join us. So Elizabeth brought him over and he scooted as close as possible to the water. So Elizabeth took off Asher's shoes and socks. and he enjoyed playing in the water for a while.

After panning for gold we went to the bank and exchanged our gold for some candy. The kids liked that part. We were then heading back out and saw the survayor standing outside and so he showed the kids what they did and the kids thought it was cool.

After leaving the park we went to Elizabeth and Joe's new place. It's lots bigger then their old place which is nice for them. We had dinner there and it was delicious as always. Afterwards Mom, Dad, Kenneth and I headed back to Burley. We got back and Kenneth and I headed back home to Rexburg. It was a late late night. But we were glad to be home.
