August Family Reunion

We had a fun month in August. It started out with a week-long family reunion with the Sam's. Here are some pictures of that.
All of the Sam grand kids except for a couple.



Yay for campfires and s'mores! 


Benjamin's favorite hiking place. He did not like to walk when he could be carried. 


Our caravan of cars going to Brian's Head where we stayed the second part of the week. We are the last 5 of these cars, and a couple more cars came up later.


Benjamin and Jared


At our cabin where we had about 25 people staying!



Performing in the family talent show with Aunt Deruchette's help. He even took a bow afterwards!


We got to go on a ski lift (or airplane as Benjamin called it). It was pretty cold but beautiful!


Here is the view.


He rode up with Grandma and Bampa and then all of us rode down together.


Lamoni, Deruchette and Jason jumped off of this insanely high crane onto a big air mattress-type thing. This was the first jump. The second jump they put the crane as high as it could go! Deruchette said it was scarier than sky-diving.


Trying to get some couple pictures because we don't have many since Benjamin came along...




We went to an awesome splash pad. It was pretty amazing. Unfortunately it was Benjamin's first one so the bar has been set pretty high and I don't think Albuquerque's splash pads will quite compare.

          




At This Is the Place Heritage Park. I HIGHLY recommend it. It is a full pioneer village with so many fun activities and things to do. You could spend a couple days there. http://www.thisistheplace.org/


Watching a Native American dancing show at The Place. On the right hand side the children could pan for gold in the stream next to the boat.

  
On a train ride


Eating "Brigham's donuts" at The Place


Another train ride. Benjamin LOVES trains and gets so excited to see them normally, but he must have been overstimulated or something because he was very somber. 


Making prints into leather (really just banging the hammer)
