Family Reunion {that was over a month ago}

Um, so a quick synopsis.  We go to the Payson Lakes Group Site every year on the Thursday, Friday and Saturday after Father’s Day for the Wilkey Family Reunion.  It’s also always the same weekend as the Manti Pageant and I’ve always wanted to take Carlos but he hasn’t seen it yet because of that.  Anyway.  It is a lot of fun and the kids have a blast.  This year there was a fun paddle boat race on the last day and everyone had a chance to make their boats the day before.  There were canoes and kayaks and a raft.  There was also a great talent show.  So here’s a photo journey of those few days.

Obviously, Austin wasn’t a huge fan of the cold water.  Jaiden and Zach, on the other hand, loved it!

There was also a cool little platform that needed lots of love and attention.  Thanks to the Uncles for trying to make it work!

And then there was the epic fit by exhausted Jaiden and Austin because they didn’t win in the Paddle boat race (Zach did) and the resulting screaming which, for Austin, lasted until the very bottom of the canyon when he too finally succumbed to sleep. 

The best was that the whole time they were crying, Zach was playing with his prize, a little stuffed bear, and singing along to “I’m bringing home a baby bumble bee!”

That was really fun to see the new pics and read about some of your adventures at the reunion! I had to chuckle all over again with the retelling about the trip down the canyon. :-)
