Crittenden Family Reunion.

We were in charge of the reunion this year, so we had it a little early.  It always seems to fall on the same day as the Donaldson's have their's or the Morgan County Fair, so we figured this was a good time to do it.  We had it the end of June.  We had it at the Morgan Park, which now has a splash pad for the kids, plus the playground, and it also has a skate park for the older kids.  Julie gave a presentation of Uncle Paul and his growing up years.  It was nice to learn some things we didn't know before.  Of course there was dinner and lots of visiting.  I love that we still get together.  I love my family.

Cade

Makae's and Grandpa Merritt's birthday.

On Grandpa's birthday, June 25th,  we had lasagna and brought him over to eat with us.  It was nice to have him at out house.  He doesn't get out much anymore.  Since Makae's birthday was soon, the 29th, we also celebrated hers.    She liked everything she got which was nice.  Grandpa was so appreciative and he really enjoyed being with everyone.    We sure love him.  Makae too!!!

Her new vans.  Hello Daisy's.

another set, Hello Kitty ones.

Jerod was there.  He spent most of the summer with us.  It was nice having him around.

Grandpa and Makae.  Sure love them both.

Camping in Samaria

Back track a little.  In June over Father's day we went camping up at Dad's property in Samaria.    Everyone that was home was able to come and we celebrated Jace's birthday, Courtney's Birthday, and Father's day.  Everyone had a great time.  It is so nice to spend so much of the summer with the family.  I really do love it.  Having dad's property there makes it nice and easy, and always someplace we can go with no one else around.  And it is close enough to Char's that Mom can come and stay at her house.  

Ethan and Courtney gave Jace a proper birthday surprise!!

Everyone kind of got it.

Jace got Courtney back, but only a little.

Ethan gave Jace his old Long board.  He used for a bit too.

Of course one of his favorite shirts!

He got a  tablet from Shawn and I

Darin, Jerod and Ethan in the Dorky hat!

First time Cade went with us in a long time.  It helps that we are back in Utah

Had some supplies in the trailer and the kids had a blast with them.

Daranee

Someone brought a hoola hoop.  Sylvie really did try over and over to get it to work.  Amazing how they just sort of know what to do.  Then we all got in on the action.

Anthony and Meagan playing ball.

Okay Meagan could sort of do it.

Nope couldn't do it though I tried!

Didn't feel to bad, Charlene couldn't either, though she looks like it.

Lill wasn't successful either.

Nor Daranee.

Nor Ethan

Nor Alicyn

Nor Ben.

Anthony was a pro at it.  Over and over and over!

This little girl is such a cute little princess.  She has quite the personality, and we all love her.

Later in the week different people came up so we had other photos of the kids and boating.  It was fun.  We took Alicyn's kids one day, and then of course Char and Meag and them came back for a day of boating as well.  It was so fun.  I love when the kids all come, they so enjoy it.  Here are a few more photos.
