St. George Family Reunion

This past weekend was our annual family reunion. This year it was held in St. George. We went down a day early so we could hike The Narrows at Zions. We hiked until you had to walk in the water and had to stop because the water was too high and the trail was closed. We were all disappointed because we were really looking forward to it. But, we decided to salvage the trip and hike to the Emerald Pools. It was a really pretty hike. Lexie walked all the way she did so good. Brynnlee was a good little hiker and slept most of the time.
The next day we went hiking in Snow Canyon. Lexie was a little tired from the day before but she still walked the whole way and did really well. Brynnlee stayed awake and was just happy to be outside. We went bowling after hiking and lunch, it was a little crazy but fun. We then all had to get ready for family pictures. We haven't had a family picture done since JD and I got married (almost 5 years ago). We have more than doubled in size. Pictures went smoother than anticipated, getting 35 people to smile at the same time is not an easy task.
The next day we went to church, went to the pool and played Minute To Win It. I didn't get any pictures at the pool (too busy swimming). It was so much fun.
The last day we swam, played Chicago Ball (Kids vs In-Laws) Yes the kids (brothers and sisters) won. We then had the worst part of the trip, packing up to come home.
