our last summer trip

 We had a fun Hill-Mulford reunion in Breckonridge, CO.  It was a wonderful time!  The children got a lot of Grandma and Grandpa time, both there and in Orem.  Andrew went school shopping with my parents, and boy was that a treat to get a new back pack!

 Cute little Lizzy and Katie!

 We had our own Olympics.  It was a blast! A favorite was javelin throw with swimming noodles.

 9 little boys cousins right in a row! And then 4 girls in a row.  Way to have another Boy Hannah! And way to go Eva, for starting off ALL the cousins in grand, girl style!

 We stopped in Garden of the Gods, a boys absolute PARADISE! They could have climbed around all day!

 We had a lovely, relaxing, and fun filled time w/ David and Allison in CO.  A highlight was doing a running course through a snake like, mowed pattern in the grass.  The uncles tried to beat the times of the children, but even after taking off their shirts for less air resistance, the uncles still got beat!

We went camping at Timpanokee w/ my dad, and some family (and a few duck, looking humans).  It is always so much fun to camp.  We sure love it.

Seth and Maddy had some pretty cool skills up their sleeves.

Don't cousins make the best of friends?

My dad treated us to a REALLY fun time at Hang Time, another paradise for boys (and girls).  It was such a blast doing flips into big pits of cushions.

We had a ball at the "Boone Rendezvous", a family reunion of all of James' Grandfather's descendants. There were 350 people camping for a week. It was such a relaxing weekend, just letting the children wander around in the forest, wading through the creek, playing with cousins, and sleeping in the tent trailer with James' parents who we hadn't seen for 2 years. What a beautiful little place we had in Idaho. 

There's where we camped.

We took a 'personal leave day' from the reunion and had some family time at Bear Lake. We got a hotel near by and watched the Olympics.  That Burger King was pretty good too!

We had a delightful time with my grandparents in Rexburg.  They are just as sweet as ever. It just feels like going home when we visit.  One evening, Peter climbed on Grandpa's lap and said, "Grandpa, you are my best friend. "

Grandpa Hill took the children and James to Bear World. Boy did they LOVE that!
