This past weekend we went to our first Family Reunion of the summer. Thursday morning (the 24th) we drove down to Cedar Mountain (Cedar City) and met up with Shawn's immediate family - his Grandma, parents, and 7 of 8 siblings - a total of 32 people! We had dinner and played a couple games, then everyone - except for Shawn, Kason, and I and Shawn's Sister Donna and 2 of her kids (we camped on the mountain) - went back to Shawn's parents to sleep (in Enterprise - about an hour or so from the mountain).
This was a rare sight to see with Kason! He wanted to be running around everywhere but he did pretty good sitting on his Great-Grandma's lap!
For dinner, we had navajo tacos and homemade ice cream for desert. Shawn took a turn at cranking the ice cream machine and Kason wanted to help as well.

I just loved the face Kason was giving me - "Do you mind, Mom? I'm trying to drive here!"Friday (the 25th) we drove to Shawn's parents and spent the day doing fun stuff around their house. Later that night we had a hot dog roast and smores.

It was REALLY nice to have nieces that were old enough to watch Kason! These two, Sydnie and E'owyn, LOVED to chase after him. They are sitting on Grandpa's tractor.
Shawn decided it would be fun to take Kason for a ride on the motorcycle! I thought he was CRAZY, but Kason seemed to like it.
Saturday (the 26th) was the day of the HUGE Terry Reunion. Shawn's Dad has 11 siblings (or maybe there's 11 all together - I forgot) and they all get together once a year at their Ranch. There were at least 150 people there! I also got to celebrate my Birthday on this day! I am now 28 years old - geeze, I feel old, but I guess it's all a part of life, huh! It was a good day at the ranch and I had a fun birthday too.
Kason LOVED this swing! He would have stayed in it all day.
OOOHH!! One happy - HA! Kason's not so happy at the moment - little family!
So there's our weekend in a nutshell! We had lots of fun, ate lots of food, didn't get much sleep, and are happy to be home!
