Waite Family Reunion

This Saturday, June 27th was my mom's family reunion in Cedar City, Utah. Due to grandpa's health we were unable to have the reunion at the cabin, we met at a park instead and still had a great time.



Facts:
We left Vale Thursday afternoon and spent the night in Clearfield with grandma Karen and Kay. Friday morning we headed down to Cedar City. We met up with grandma and grandpa Waite at their hotel. When Matt and Dawn arrived we went to the Pizza Factory for dinner. (Our first time, great food!) Unfortunately we had to leave grandma and grandpa at their hotel while we headed up to the cabin for the night. Saturday after lunch we went back down the mountain to go swimming at Grandma's hotel. Then we headed over to the park for the reunion. After the reunion we said good-bye everyone and our family went back up to the cabin. Sunday morning we began the trek home.

Here are a few detailed highlights:
~ Austin and Spencer were jumping on Grandma's bed in their hotel room when their heads collided. Spencer walked away uninjured. Austin came away with a black eye.


~ After Emma's bath at Grandma's hotel I was combing through her hair and found a tick! Luckily it was just starting to go in and I was able to get it all out with tweezers. Sponge Bob was on so Emma was almost obliviously to the whole event. And no, I did not take a picture of it!

~ Ruth was not a fan of her car seat. She would go about one hour stretches and then scream until we pulled over. She was SO happy to get out of the car (as seen in the pictures taken on a break in Mountain Home.) Combine that with Emma throwing up Sunday morning we had a very, very slow trip home. It only took us 12 hours!!!


~ I love being at the cabin. It brings back lots of good memories and I love being able to create new ones with my kids. I only wish it was closer!
