Murray Family Reunion

For months I looked forward to our trip to Utah in July. The whole family was going to be together in Zions for a fun filled week. It finally arrived and all of last week lived up to what I had hoped. It was a blast and a lot of fun seeing the whole family! We drove down the day before the 4th of July and spent the 4th at Salem pond and barbecuing and at the stadium of fire. On Tuesday we drove down to Zions and spent the next 4 days in a gorgeous house on top of the mountains enjoying every one's company. We did so many things that I will let the pictures take it from here.

4th of July

Zions-Family Reunion
Zions is so beautiful

All the kids got a chance to go on the zip line which they all seemed to love

Jessica turned out to be quick the rock climber!

Horseback riding was also a hit

Josh, Jessica and Aubrey drove the atv's. Josh got the concept of speed very quickly. Watch out mom!

Kayla resting from all the playing she was doing. She is so cute! We spent a lot of good times together that week!

In Kanab we went to Chuck's Wagon for a great lunch, a cowboy show we participated in and remembering some great memories of Grandma Murray. I appreciate how devoted Grandma was to family and for making these family reunions possible! We love and miss you Grandma!
That is me over there with the indians and Jeff played a soldier along with most of the other boys

We hiked the narrow in Zions just up to the river but Jeff wanted to keep going. So this is him venturing out into the river a little ways.

Mom watching Kaden's every move. This kid can run (and trips a lot) and he loved sitting at the edge of the river and throwing rocks in.

Kayla loved walking in the water

Aubrey, Tanner, TayLynn and Austin having fun in the river

You can see Kaden's bump on his forehead from tripping on the pavement from the day before. He cried a little but then got up and kept on going. He is such a trooper!

There were quite a few deer along the path up the narrows

Again I love how pretty Zions is! We had such a blast!!
