We made it home to Washington after a wonderful family reunion in Bear Lake! It's getting late and we drove all through the night last night so I'll be brief and then post more of the family pictures next week.
^^This is the only pic I have on my computer now but there are clearer ones I'll post next week.
^^Grandma and Grandpa's "Grampfire" service was lots of fun
^^Walking the boardwalk by the lake
^^Jack's favorite part of the trip was "playing with cousins." He loves them all so much.
^^Alice napping on my brother Jordan melted my heart after a morning mishap
^^Pretty much every "itinerary" item me and Jared planned had a hiccup, which caught us off-guard since we've done this exact itinerary probably half a dozen times without a hitch in the past, but everyone still had a good time.
^^Peter lighting the birthday cake candles for all our late July birthdays
^^"Human pinata" where Jared ran around and the cousins tried to grab candy glue-dotted to his shirt.
^^Alice and Jack playing together after the cousins had all left.
^^Alice saying goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa. Other than the kids' turbulent sleep, they were in their element with so many family members to play with and love on them. Alice had an accidental peanut encounter on our way out the door to drive home so we stayed an extra hour until the benadryl kicked in and we were certain the epi pen wouldn't be required (thank goodness it was a very minor exposure so her only symptom was hives this time). We drove through the night again because it is SO much easier to have the kids sleep most of the drive. And now we are missing our family but it is good to be home.
