I have the best memories of when I was a little girl, my mom's family would get together for BBQs up American Fork Canyon. My brother and his wife hosted a BBQ up the canyon with our family as part of the mini reunion that was happening while we were all together (although we were missing Josh like crazy as he had to back to Georgia to work). My boys loved being around grandma and grandpa again. They missed them so much while they were on their mission.
We were by a steep rocky side of the mountain and McKay kept climbing it in those flip flops. He had to be rescued or slide down on his behind more than once.
Lincoln is all boy, he loves to climb, run, jump and anything else that is usually discouraged at most places. I loved that in the canyon he could do most of that without getting in trouble (although he was dying to be by the fast river, and that wasn't happening).
The kids all painted some cool reunion rocks.
More good talks with grandpa.
Palmer felt really cool, Nathan, Mark and Palmer got to cook hot dogs for everyone.
Pretty nutritious meal you got there Link...
The kids all got to cook their own S'mores and they stayed for a while on their faces.
Dave brought his guitar and we sang songs around the campfire. All of the good ones we used to sing growing up like "You are My Sunshine," "Grandma's Feather Bed," and "Country Roads."
This year Uncle Matt added a new twist on singing around the camp fire and I'm pretty sure everyone loved it.
Matt in all of his glory leading the Funky Chicken song. I got to lead The Princess Pat and we had so much fun and the cousins (and adults) laughed like crazy.
Oh I sure love this family of mine. I am so glad that we had so many chance to get to know them deeper and store up memories for the time we don't get to see them very often.
