FAMILY REUNION TIME

This past week we had our annual Family Reunion. Tiffany's family was in charge this year. We left early Thursday morning and headed to Utah where we started with a very 'SWEET" deal. We went to the Sweets candy warehouse and store where they took us on a tour of the candy making place. It was awesome and very informative. Afterwards you could sample different candies and then shop at the store. We all bought some sweet treats. We then headed to Hogle Zoo. Brett and Tif stopped and picked up pizza and breadsticks and drinks. We went inside the zoo and found a nice shady place to eat and then went thru the zoo. It was great! It has changed so much since I was last there. Lots more shade and lots more exhibits.
My favorite was the polar bear. He put on quite a show for everyone. He would swim and then come right up to the glass in front of the kids. They all loved it. The sea lions were fun to watch underwater also. We had a great afternoon at the zoo!
When we were finished, we went back to our motel and checked in. We waited for a few latecomers to arrive and then we went to In and Out Burger for dinner. Afterwards we swam at the motel for an hour or so and then finally went to bed. It was a very busy day, but oh so much fun!
Yeah for Friday!!!! I think the kids were the most excited for this day. We went to Lagoon. It has been quite a few years since I have been to Lagoon. They have lots of new rides and the trees have grown so much that it isn't too bad as far as heat. We played and played all day and into the night. We got there at 11:00 and we didn't leave until 11:00. Everyone rode and rode and all tried new and exciting rides that they had never been on. A few of them even swore as they were getting ready to take off or drop.(Not to mention any names, Koby and David)
The little kids loved all the rides that they could ride. And the adults got there fair share in too.
It was a super day!!! Everyone was tired and all slept pretty good.
Saturday came and we slept in and then went and swam before we had to check out. We then went to a park where Brett and Tif provided lunch and had fun games to play. We also did crazy skits that were really fun. Everyone won prizes and enjoyed the day immensely. For our final event, we went to the Brigham City Temple open house. It was beautiful and so nice to be able to see it. It was a great weekend and I am so sad that it is already over. Thanks Tif, Brett and family for making us some great memories to share. We love our family very much and are so grateful we get to spend time with them.
