Last hooray before School starts! Roger's reunion

A huge thank you to Marsha and Alan for putting together our 1st Annual Roger's reunion in Eden. Of course we've been there many times, but this time was special. We did so many fun activities as an entire family that they put together and hence, the memories: Love my family- can't believe how blessed I am





to see their smiles and hear their laughter- so many fun traditions here,







Riding bikes, motorcycles and scooters are a must






Papa Alan is always making the kids laugh and some times even cry






And just check out the beautiful sunsets up here in Eden!















And even rented a boat, which started out pretty comical: it rained for a few hours beforehand, which was crazy rain and lightening so we had to wait in the cars and wait it out- pretty crazy with all the grandkids together but ended up worth the wait:





The kids were just as happy playing out in the sand









So we get ready to go boating and who is ready for some tubbing?!!!








So just waitin for the storm to ride itself out in craziness








And off to the boat we come!








And these are the BEFORE pics-happy, smiley faces









And the fun begins but those smiley, happy faces soon change... (not pictured) but the kids screamed/cried on that tube til we finally gave in and the adults went waterskiing (yahoo!) we need to go boating more often and toughen them up






Off to some tennis tournaments! Kids and adults!



One of my favorite pictures of the two sweet cousins: O and Ash- so cute!




And swimming of course








The boys were golfing while girls got massages/pedis (thanks Marsh) and some swim time



We had a suprise dinner on a gondola ride up to Snow Basin-











And Little Man celebrating his 2 year birthday has come a long way these past few weeks with feeling better- new tubes. he is hilarious. Look at that background!




Two best buddies






And here we all are: the entire Roger's fam







Love our papas and nanas



Last night, we had a bonfire, prizes and smores- what an ending to a fabulous trip!






After church, we went and fed the elk, a family tradition before heading home


Can't believe school started today- Jake's in Fifth, Jonah in 3rd, Ash starts Kindergarten next week- where does time go? Where did summer go? Good thing I take my camera everywhere!
