We have been looking forward to our Utah trip all year! It was a jammed packed 2 weeks between both families. Tyler's family has many memories of having to get out of the car to get state line pictures. We had to do it just once with ours!
My dad celebrated his 70th birthday with all his family there.
We had a fun BBQ in the backyard, where all the family played.
Climbed trees and played laser tag
Had a water fight
And roasted marshmallows for s'mores.
Here are my parents with all of their grandchildren.
(Minus Chase, who is the only adult grandchild and in the military)
We did the Kannaraville hike one afternoon.
It was quite the adventure with so many people!
It was hot and dry at first.
But, we eventually walked through a small creek and through some beautiful slot canyons.
We climbed a ladder by a water fall.
The kids found a natural waterslide that they enjoyed.
They also enjoyed drying off on the rock in the sun.
We also spent a day enjoying the four wheelers and motorcycles.
Ellionna got a ride with Uncle Dan.
The kids all took their turns on the smaller toys, so they could ride independently.
Hailey, our teenage niece, crashed her motorbike at one point. Tyler decided it as best to call an ambulance, as she was having a lot of back pain. It was more of precaution, but it sure did bring more excitement to our day than planned. After several tests at the ER, they deemed her well enough and she was discharged.
While all that was happening, we had the kids stop riding. Gavin persuaded the younger kids to push him around without the engine on. He has a talent at getting what he wants.
And that was the highlights of the 2015 Bales Family Reunion.
Utah Trip, Part 2 (Sherman Reunion) is next.
