Summer Vacation - Utah

We flew from Portland, OR to Las Vegas, NV, then rented a car and drove 2 hours to St. George, UT where my family had rented an awesome home for us to stay in for our reunion. We arrived Thursday and stayed until Tuesday.

Our reunion began with an outing to see a production of the musical "Peter Pan". We all wore our new neon green Walton shirts. :)


Cute cousins!


Ready for a fun afternoon at the local swimming pool.


The Summer Olympics began while we were together, so we had to plan an Olympics party of our own, complete with a torch relay, long jump competition, high jump event . . .


and a medals ceremony. Here are the older kids.


And the younger ones.


McKell was twinning with the Barbie she won.


Russ was the family puzzle master. He worked almost non-stop until all 1000 pieces were in place.


We had a sports themed baby shower to celebrate the upcoming arrival of Linda and Jared's baby boy. Here's Brenna taking a turn in the relay.


And this picture of Adam shows how much he loves being with us all. :)


Nate and Adam planned an "Amazing Race" where we split into 3 teams and competed in different events and challenges each day.


Rafe's amazing puzzle skills propelled the blue team to victory on this challenge!


The selection for our annual movie party was "The Lego Movie", so of course the meal of choice was Taco Tuesday.


Good looking bunch of Master Builders.


Ashlyn's tablet made her very popular among the cousins.


These cuties enjoyed the ice cream that was everyone's reward at the end of the Amazing Race.


And it wouldn't be a gathering of Waltons without game nights.


I sure love my fabulous family!!!
