Family Reunion

At the end of July we went to Heber for a Madsen family reunion with just Mike's parents and the kids. It was so fun! Mike's parents rented a cabin for the week and we did lots of fun activites, ate and slept! It was a great getaway and always fun to get to know everyone a little better. The weather was perfect and the kids had so much fun playing together. Their cousins Wesley and Jeremy came out from Indiana, so they had a great time playing with them and they seemed to get along great from the moment they saw each other. This pic is one of the whole family, except for Uncle Nathan who is serving a mission in Mississippi!Papa and JoNana with the grandkids. Don't my kids look so thrilled ~ I wonder if they will ever like pictures!

Jake with cousins Wesley, Ty and Jeremy I love this picture! What handsome little men.
Kenzie playing dress up for Auntie Elana ~ I love this picture too!Daddy and Jake on the Alpine Slide
Kenzie and her Papa. We went on a hike up to Stewart Falls, and the kids actually did great! Kenzie wanted to walk a lot, so she got dirty but loved it! It is a beautiful hike, and the waterfall at the end is so fun.

Mike and I at the falls. (I am trying to remember it is ok to post pictures of myself that I really don't like!)
My sister-in-laws and I ~ it was so fun to hang out with them and just talk and have some girly times.
The boys when we got home to the cousins house. They love Aunt Deanna and Uncle Ryan's hammock!
Thanks Papa and JoNana for a fun time, and thanks a TON to Auntie Elana for all the great pictures. I didn't take any because I knew Elana's would be the best ones and I would want those anyway. She is an awesome photographer and so great with all the kids. We can't wait till next time!
