Walton Family Reunion 2010

So, a little behind, but in June, we loaded the vans and headed to southern Utah to enjoy a wonderful reunion with the Waltons. We rented a huge cabin where we could all stay together. We arrived, picked our rooms (each family had their own), singles picked their couches and settled in. It was so much fun. We ate, played games, went on hikes through slot canyons, down in Zion National Park, through Bryce canyon, ate and played more games. I'm pretty lucky to have such wonderful in-laws.

The whole crew (minus Elder Walton)

Molly and Luke exploring

Took a little hike one day to find some very nearby slot canyons. It was pretty hot but boy was it beautiful. Fos does great in the back pack.

Molly and Me

Just a walkin'

Mike and his lizard friend. I think he was trying to make earrings

Me trying to sqeeze through. It wasn't very technical, but there were some parts we had to use more than walking abilities.

Mike is a pro at slot canyons. Here he is scaling up the wall to get a rope tied on so that the rest of us can get up.

Some of the Walton cousins

We played some fun board games and also some fun "Minute to Win It" competitions. Here, Ryan, Chris and Amy are pulling Kleenexes out of the box with one hand.

Scott trying to get quarters out from the bottom of panty hoses.

This day we went to Zion National Park. Molly and Fos just waiting for the hikes to begin.

And she didn't even ever fall in.

It's so fun to see all your pictures! They were familiar but with a different angle or emphasis....so fun. We did have a great time!

I like the family shot in this one. Boy you are always a busy girl, wife and Mom..good for you! Nice seeing your family grow. Can't believe Foster is so growing too fast! Expect him to still be a baby!
