Family Reunion

We just got back from a family reunion in Utah! The trip there was a long....and tiring drive. We went to BYU Provo, saw Gr. Grandma & Gr. Grandpa Walker and the other family there in Kamas . (Thurs.) While at BYU P, Mom and Dad gave us a tour of the campus, like, the building that they met at, the library, the yummy creamery, and other buildings as well. Since there was a BYU bookstore, it was decided that we would go buy some things. All of us, got a BYU shirt, and a hat or sweatshirt. Spencer loves the "different" things, and got a hat that was shaped as a cougar! After that, he wore it everywhere! It was a blast, and inspired all of us kids to go there some day! It was also fun to go see family in Kamas, UT again! We hung out, talked, played in the backyard, and mom had fun getting new irises from Gr. Grandma's beautiful garden! After all of the fun...we had to leave to the hotel in SLC.

In the morning ( Fri.) the whole family woke up, and got ready to go on a hike to the Stuart Waterfalls! We had to drive a ways away, but when we got there, it was worth it. Utah is quite a bit "greener", than Colorado, and the mountains there were just gorgeous! The sign said, ' Stuart Falls - 2 mi.', but as we were hiking to the falls, it felt more like 3 mi! But it was fun, and amazing. Spencer (of course) wore his cougar hat, and loved to hide in the bushes, and pretend he was an actual cougar. I'll have to post pictures later...anyway, after we got back from our looonnnggg.....hike, we went swimming, and to Denny's for dinner. When dinner was over, all of us went back to the hotel, and a few minutes later, met up with our friends, the Burns.

On Saturday, the actual reunion began! It was on my Dad's side, so there were about...10 siblings there...maybe 9. It was a huge blast!!! The Smith Family met at a park, that had a play ground, so that was neat to have around. I had a really fun time getting together with cousins that I haven't seen for 2 years or so. Most of the family played kick ball, but the main fun for the little ones, was the Jump House! It was a huge hit! Even me, my cousins, and aunts went on, one time or another. All in all, it was a great time! Thanks Grandma Smith for making it happen!

The ride home was pretty interesting. Cedric had a few gross incidences, but other than that, we made it home all right. The boys are getting tired, so I better help mom get them to bed, write to ya later!

Sounds like fun! We haven't been to Utah in almost a year and a half. I miss our family out there. Guess what? I have a Granny and Grandpa Walker, too!

Sounds like you had a whole lot of fun, besides the driveing.
