Home Sweet Home

We are home, HOORAY! We had a really fun time on our trip but we were pretty pooped when we got home. Here are some hightlights and lowlights of the trip plus a bunch of pictures:

Highlights:

• Riding on the waverunner at Bear Lake
• Playing with all the cousins. The kids were occupied almost the whole time and had a blast with the cousins
• Having a romantic evening with Kent at his parent's house roasting marshmallows and sitting by the fire
• Seeing 8 out of my 9 siblings
• Meeting a nephew and a niece I haven't met before
• Getting a fabulous raspberry shake at Bear Lake
• The drive home. The kids were good and so was the conversation
• Getting to ditch out on my calling for 2 weeks ;)
• Meeting my new sister-in-law to be
• Driving through Logan and seeing our old house (I really miss Logan)
• Getting squeaky cheese at Gossner's in Logan
• Doing karaoke to "Copacabana" with a Mexican accent. Not sure this was a highlight.... It is true that when you are sleep deprived you have the judgement of someone who is drunk.... Normally I would never EVER sing in front of people.... At least the accent sort of made it sound like I was purposely trying to sing badly

Lowlights:

• Being eaten alive every night by mosquitos
• Adele getting thrush
• Sleeping in a room with kids for 9 days
• Being stressed out because I was in charge of the activities at the reunion
• Sand
• We couldn't get grandpa's boat to work

Kent took the 3 older kids fishing one day at Bear Lake. They didn't catch anything but it was good Daddy/kid bonding.
