In June we enjoyed a wonderful two week visit with Ryan and Kyle. They came to visit us while the rest of their family went on a church history tour to the East and Midwest. We had so much fun with the boys. They were very helpful and well-behaved. We had several family activities and they also spent a day visiting their Shaw cousins.
While Ryan and Kyle were here we spent a day at Lagoon with Dan and Betsy and their family. It was so nice because they live so close and Betsy was able to take Ellie home for a nap and then she came back later and brought us a pizza. Umm!! The boys were dare devils on the rides. It was a nice day and the park wasn't crowded so the wait time for most of the rides was quite short.
The boys loved their day at Lagoon. We got there when the park opened and stayed until it closed. We finished the day by having funnel cakes because that was something Dan and Michelle always did together when they went to an amusement park.
One day while the boys were here Becky, Adam, and I took them down to BYU where we went to the dinosaur museum, the Bean museum, and to the bowling alley. We got to bowl 2 games and everyone enjoyed it. It was Adam's first time and he got very excited when he finally learned how to push the ball down the ramp.
Ryan in good bowling form.
Kyle taking his turn at bowling. Will it make it??
The boys got to visit with their Great Grandpa Nix who is now 91. They went over one day and helped him do some weeding in his yard. Then he took them out for ice cream.
We went swimming at Becky's condo pool and also at the Legacy Center here in Lehi.
While Ryan and Kyle were here we also had a fun family gathering at Matt and Jessica's house. We had a great game of kick ball to end the evening. Kids against the adults. I think the kids won!! We are so glad the boys got to come. We invite them back anytime and their 3 sisters too!!
Later in the month, we went to the Lehi City Roundup Day where Adam got his face painted by Becky's good friend Cindy.
In July we attended the Perrenoud family reunion in Rexburg. This is my dad's side of the family and I was asked to be in charge this year. I make the chart above which showed my grandparents and their 13 children. We had a good turnout at the reunion of about 45 people. That is a small representation of a huge family but we will try to involve more people next year.
Here is part of the family visiting at the reunion. Everyone brought good food and we had a short program after lunch.
I enjoyed visiting with my cousin Ione at the reunion.
At a family dinner at our house, Tanner and Adam played in the sandbox. Umm! Umm!
