Midway Reunion

My parents planned a get-together for us kids and our families. They reserved a condo in Midway, Utah.
Before heading to Midway, we spent some time at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Grandpa loves teasing and spoiling his grandchildren. He showed his great-granddaughters how to make real root beer.
The girls loved their root beer, fizz and all.
Grandma and Grandpa's basement is a kids dream. They have ice cream with toppings, a shake mixer, a popcorn machine, and candy vending machines. Complete with an old-fashioned cash register loaded with change to buy the candy.
We all enjoyed spending time together at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Corinne was tired and needed a nap. I just laid her on the floor in a spare bedroom and shut the door. A little while later, I found her like this.
She pulled a pillow off the chair and got comfy.
She's pretty cute.

From there, we headed to Miday. There was so much fun stuff to do. We went on several beautiful walks up the mountain.
We swam in the pool.
When we first got Corinne in the pool, she did not like the pool at all.She warmed up to it though, and enjoyed splashing and playing.
Camryn has always loved swimming.
Kendra loves it too.
The guys tried to make a human tower.
Kent was about to get on the bottom under Jonathan.
It didn't last long enough to get a picture.
But they still had to show how tough they are.
Kendra loves her aunt Jessica, absolutely loves her.
We also played Ultimate Frisbee. We LOVE this game. Nicole took some cute couple pictures after a game.

After that, we need a cool off in the pool.

We always have to do a silly picture. You might not want to look to close at this one. We are pretty odd.

Our wonderful mom stayed and watched all the granddaughters while we went to Snowbird to play.
We got to ride the Alpine Slide.
We all got cruisin' pretty fast. It was awesome!

We rode the lift up to the zip-line.
Our group waiting on the stairs for our turn.
Taylor and Amanda went first.


The zip-line was one of my favorites.

We shared some delicious pizza for lunch.
We rode the sky-tram to the top of the mountain.It was beautiful up at the top.
We rode back down, and headed for some bull-riding.

It was absolutely beautiful up there. We had so much fun. I really love spending time with my brothers and sisters and their spouses. Thanks mom and dad for such a wonderful trip.
