As if Hawaii and Georgia weren't fun enough we fit a family reunion in too! :)
On the first day of the reunion we met at the Uinta National Forest (just minutes away from our house) for hikes, crafts, and outdoor play time. The kids seemed to have a lot of fun. The 'older' kids got into an intense game of monopoly while the younger ones enjoyed the crafts and exploring the forest.
I love that my boys will all have cousins right around the same age to play with on both sides of the family.
Hyrum really LOVES going on hikes, so he kept stealing Grandma to take him on hikes on the trails around our site. He even brought his magnifying glass to investigate the rocks.
We had a delicious lunch with the traditional Rushton sandwich (bread, peanut butter, chocolate chips) and afterward roasting marshmallows over the fire. Hyrum never wanted to eat the marshmallows, but he LOVED burning them to a crisp and then watching them bubble up and melt over the fire.
That afternoon everyone went to the Lindon Aquatics Center and had a blast, however my boys decided to sleep until after 4. The naps were much needed and made the evening with everyone much more enjoyable. Everyone came to our place afterward for a yummy BBQ and visiting.
