Brendon was the champion air hockey player of the kids. Too bad all the adults "smoked" him as our kids like to put it. We were excited to see Brendon again since he had spent the last few days in Thatcher.
Tyler loved the rocking horse. Especially with licorice in hand. I bought one of those huge licorice containers at Costco for the trip. I LOVE licorice, but I can never justify a huge tub unless I have lots of others to help me eat it.
Even though it was already cool outside, the kids insisted on playing in the water. They didn't last long outside since the water coming out of the hose is actually cold there instead of luke warm like here in Phoenix.
My parents watched all the kids while Phil, Cory, Ann and I went through a session at the Snowflake Temple on Thursday morning. It was so beautiful and peaceful there! I can enjoy a session much more when I know the kids are having fun with grandma and grandpa.
After we checked out of the rental house, we all headed to the park for lunch and a little more fun in the nice weather before heading home. The kids enjoyed every last minute of freedom before we locked them back up in seatbelts and careseats for the ride home. Jonathan was excited to ride home to Thatcher for his turn at grandma and grandpa's house.
We're sad the fun is over! What will we do with the rest of our summer???

Sounds like a super fun time!
You guys have done tons of fun stuff this summer! I'm jealous. We haven't been able to go anywhere since I was 9 months pregnant, and now have a newborn!
You and Lisa's family do such fun things during the summer. I'm so jealous!
I'm so glad you got a picture of the air hockey and the rocking horse. How about sending them to me for my picture album?
Love,
Mom
Wow! What a fun reunion. Looks relaxing and fun. All of your pictures are great.
What a nice vacation! I was wondering where Jonathan was when I saw you guys in the store the other day. I bet he feels pretty grown-up that he can stay at grandma's by himself. :)
The licorice tubs totally remind me of Lake Powell. I keep seeing those at the store and am so tempted to buy one but I'd eat it all by myself. I love black & red licorice (but no Twizzlers please). Glad you guys had fun! I love that your family does your own reunions.
Love Pinetop! That picture of the kids on the house at the park is just across the street from where Wes grew up and where his parents still live and we often visit that park! I have similar pics! :)
Love it!
We buy the tub of licorice for trips too!! Yum! Looks like you had a nice trip... it is hard to come back to the sweltering valley after being nice and cool, huh!?
