Vacation!!!

We went to Utah for our first Family Reunion on my side! We figured it was time, with 18 grand-kids and a few of us scattered over the country. It was such a fun trip to see nieces and nephews who are almost adults now and just catch up with everyone. We loved seeing Amelia play with her cousins and she seems like such a big kid keeping up with all of them.

First day was Lagoon! That is Utah's very own amusement park.

Amelia went on all the kiddie rides, even the roller coasters and the kid equivalent of the giant drop! She was so gutsy, it was so fun to see.

Maya and I watching on the side (photo bombed by Ginger). We weren't always this happy to be just watching.

Here's Maya in super pout mode. She really didn't like missing out on the rides.

Day 2 was family picture day! My parents, their 7 children, spouses, 18 grandchildren. Yeah it was chaos. We are still waiting to see how they turned out.

But didn't I get the best ever last minute romper for Maya? Bought this day-of, it is the cutest thing.

Sister hug.

Our whole family at Lagoon, we all wore the matching t-shirts. It was pretty awesome.

Juan looking thrilled.

And the sister pic.

 A visit with my dear friend Margarita.

And Mill chillin' with the big kids.

Not pictured: We saw Miriam and her beautiful family and new house! We missed seeing Andrea, we were all set up for a Sunday breakfast and then Matt got sick :( We ate at Cafe Rio of course and had a bbq at Paul and Rachelle's on Sunday, their backyard is amazing. And we did a lot of sitting around and talking, just how I like it.

It is already mid-August! It was a great final summer trip. We are getting ready to start up a pre-school co-op. I am stalking Craig's list for a bunk bed for the girls, and we have a few more boxes to organize and put into storage before the baby comes. Which is 3 months away! Time is flying!
