Every other summer my Dad's family has a super fun family reunion and this year was no different!!!!!!! Here is the view in our cabin from the loft......everyone is vegging. Below.........Allie even had fun!!!!!!!!!! :)
The first night all the Dahl girls got together and did a "favorite things" night. We each had to bring our favorite thing/things under $15 and we did like a white elephant thing. It was soooo fun!!!! I ended up with my cousin Heidi's. I got her favorite salad dressing and 2 CD's with her favorite running music and a ton of awesome recipes!!!! i was so excited to get hers!!!
Aunt Allie and Sammy
There was an awesome Zipline at the place we went (it was called Zion Ponderosa). Here is Allie, my mom, Heather, and Tanner.
Go Allie!!!! It was a blast!!!! Oops....it's out of order.
Me and Allie all suited up!
Sammy played a ton!!!!!!
We were there over the fourth of July and Sam loved waving the flag!
Sam and aunt Wendy
We also had a "talent" show. Here is my uncle John as "Cousin Cletus" from Council Bluffs, Iowa. Funny, cuz we will be in a ward in Council Bluffs. We will see if he is close to how the real people from there are!! ha ha.
Steve doing his comedy act
Our family's "talent" the bells!
Mark even did stand up!!!! He did a funny bit about Paula being an alcoholic and everyone was so shocked when Mark did it!! If you know Mark at all, you know how shocking that would be!
My cute cousin Matt did a duet.....by himself. It was hilarious!
I can't remember what Paula did.................
We also got to go four wheeling! Here is Aaron and Allie at an awesome spot we stopped to look at.
Lovely
The whole four wheeling group!
I thought this pic of Heather reading to Sam was so cute!
The cute (hopefully almost engaged) couple Tanner and Heather!
We even went swimming at this totally awesome pool and Sam loved it!!!!!!
Going down the slide!! Sam loved that too!!
He wasn't too happy when we left. Oh and by the way, we normally dont drive without Sam in his carseat, the cabin was down a short road!!!!!
The AWESOME cabin we stayed in!! We had 3 of these babies to hold everyone.
Sammy and aunt Paula
This reunion was such a blast! I am so glad we do these every other year because I feel like I am closer to my cousins because of it!!!!
Last week we went on the 4th annual Huston family camping trip! Sam LOVE LOVE LOVED it!!!!!! He played and got soooooooo dirty.
He sword fought with Grandpa!
and then drummed!
Here is Gracie in her Harry Potter shirt. We actually left camping to go see the last Harry Potter movie and was sooooooooo good!
Oh and here is Sam dirty......again.
Of course we went down to the creek. It was freezing cold but Sam didn't seem to mind!
Here is Mark trying to slide down the rocks.....it didn't really work.
Mark and Vaeh jumped and Vaeh didn't even hesitate!
It took a while but William did it too!!
And Russ did the big jump!
Oh and here is Sam dirty........again.
He ate lots of dirt......even with us watching him closely.
He did finally get a bath though....and of course he loved it.
Look at Sam's sad little eye! He did end up getting pink eye, but he had a blast!!!!!!! We all did! Thank you Mom and Dad Huston for an AWESOME time!!!!!
