Family Reunion at Pineview

Our summer has turned out to be very busy.  After we came home from Lake Powell, we had a week to recover and then we were off again to spend a week with the O'Farrell side of the family.  We stayed up at a house in Northern Utah.  I always love getting together with everyone.  It's fun to catch up, and let the kids hang out.  We spent a couple of days at the lake, some more days at the park, and the rest just playing around.  Every year we have each family come up with an activity to do during the week.  Everyone comes up with great ideas, and it keeps us busy doing stuff.  This year our activity was making rockets and launching them.  It turned out great.  Everyone had fun making them, and some got really into it too.  It was fun to see everyone's creative side come out (some more than others).
 
Everyone hard at work on the rockets.


All the kids with their rockets.





Andrew made a big rocket and named it "Long John Silver".

These two are so funny together.  They are less than two weeks apart in age and have a blast together.  Drew wanted to do everything with Brady.  They were so fun to watch.

Cousins are the best!


We had a big game of "Human Foosball".  It was a lot of fun.  Considering how competitive this entire family is when it comes to sports (well I should say anything), everyone got along well and had a good time.

"The boys".  These guys are all the same age.  It will be crazy when they all graduate from high school and hopefully go on missions at the same time.

All the kids minus one.  We never seem to get everyone.

Most of the kids again minus one.

Swimming at the pool.  We went every night and the kids loved it.

Ready, set, jump!
 
We are so lucky to have such a great family.  We love getting together every year.  We wish we could do it more often.
