Clayson annual family reunion

A couple of weeks ago, we were able to go to my family reunion in Brianhead. It was a lot of fun and really nice to have so much family around to entertain Hannah and to hold Maelie. We all really enjoyed just relaxing and spending time with the whole fam.

And now a bunch of pics...


 Maelie was a bit grumpy (yet cute) that first night. Little did we know it was the start of a colicky phase that is still going strong...

 We all just hung out together that first night.

 Hannah was SO excited to be with her cousins.

 Hannah had to get in on the baby-holding action.

 The next morning the kids played lots of games together. This was Hannah's first time playing "Bubble gum, bubble gum in a dish." :)

 Love this pic of Hannah hanging out with her aunt Jana.

 Hannah got in lots of good playground time with her cousins.

 She eventually got brave enough to go down the slide alone like a pro.

 Hannah loved all the activities, especially when they involved eating sweets.

 Cutie Hannah all decked out and ready to swim.

Hannah was quite popular in the pool. :)

 Maelie was pretty popular too.

 The girls enjoyed an evening of manicures and pedicure.

 Hannah and Katelyn showing off their pretty purple nails.

 The boys spent the evening building stuff.

 The next day we visited Cedar Breaks.

 We all took a little nature walk.

 So beautiful!

 I enjoyed spending time with Hannah while Scott stayed in the car with Maelie.

 The nature walk turned into a vigorous hike, so I turned back and left Hannah with the others.

 Maelie sporting her new swimsuit from Grandma Clayson. No swimming for her though.

 Adorable girls with adorable matching swimsuits. Too bad they wouldn't look at me for the pic.

 Aunt Jana holding the matching-jammie cousins.

 Movie night with half the gang.

 And here's the other half.

The next morning Hannah loved painting her rock!

 
 Cutie cousins!

 Scottie watching Maelie.

 Obstacle course for the kids.

 A super fun game of kickball with the whole fam!

 More swim time!

 Maelie snuggling with her grandma.

 Dinner at a Mexican restaurant. Yum!

 Our cute little lady bug!

 The kids did skits on the last night.

One last lunch together in Parowan before heading home


Thanks to my mom and dad for such a fabulous reunion! We're already looking forward to next year's!
