Family, Fun, and Fish Lake





Last week we were able to attend Dan's family reunion. Besides 3 out of the 5 of us getting a strange bug that made us throw up for about 12 hours we had a BLAST!!! We started the week off at cousin's camp. Thanks to a very creative Bro. and sis. in law the kids attended Camp Sawtooth (grandma and grandpa Joneses' house) for two days before we headed to Fish Lake. They earned badges to put on their very own bandelos. They got to learn a new camp song, make smores, Learn the Jones cousin Cougar pledge (see side bar for full pledge), ride four wheelers, paint nails, Ashlie got to help show the girls how to put on a proper Tea Party, while the boys were shown how to throw a proper game day party (which consisted of yelling, eating, and watching clips of past BYU football games). It was so much fun. We left Wednesday to drive to southern central Utah and Fish Lake. Cade and I got sick that night, so we didn't get to do much Thursday. Ashlie was lucky enough to go on a hike with Grandpa, that was one of her highlights. We had fun spending time with our own family as well as extended family for a couple of days. We took the kids fishing and Ashlie was the only one who caught anything. 4 fish caught on her very own princess pole. It was such a fun time, and we are sad it is over. Got to love family.
