Urie Family Reunion

This past weekend we headed up Cedar Canyon to a reunion with Jeremy's family on his mom's side. Her family owns a small cabin in the mountains complete with an outhouse and a beautiful view on a whole bunch of acres!
 We spent the evening handing out with family, eating s'mores, listening to stories from Grandma Urie, and checkin in on "our tree." The poor thing is holding up another tree that is falling over. We hope it doesn't take the whole thing out one day!

 Kylie LOVES hanging out with these girls!

Jase had a great time with his cousins too. Ty was being shy and wouldn't let me get near him with the camera, but these two are great little friends.
We stayed the night at my sister-in-law Amy's family cabin not to far away from the Urie cabin. It was great accommodations and we stayed nice and warm. Jase had an unfortunate incident of falling off his bed in his slippery sleeping bag. He also yells out for cheese balls in the middle of the night, but other than that we slept pretty dang good.


 The next day we got up and hiked Cascade falls. It's totally my kind of easy hike that ends at a beautiful waterfall. The weather was perfect and I think we all enjoyed it.


I have a very similar picture of these three taken last summer when we were together for a reunion.

 We spent the afternoon at the new Cedar Rec. Center. It's a lot like St. George's only better...and cheaper! Despite the fact that there was a cold breeze the kids had a blast. Kylie and Jase had plenty of great babysitters that were so willing to make sure they were safe and had a good time. 

Kylie and Jase both had a blast going down the pitch black hydro-tube. I knew Kylie would live it, but I wasn't sure how Jase would like going down by himself, but he loved it!! He asked to do it several more times and came up with a huge smile every time.  I think those swimming lessons really paid off!!

We ended the day with dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Felix's house and then the kids went to the Shakespearean Festival Greenshow with Jeremy's sister and brother-in-law Doug and Ang. Kylie loved the greenshow. She later told me though, "Mom, the Greenshow was not green!!" It was a really fun few days. We love getting together with family. The kids love their cousins and I love hanging out with Jeremy's family!
