At the end of July we were so happy to have 4 out of the 6 siblings of Christina's that live out of Utah come into town. Everyone stayed at our house, which was really so much fun! All the cousins loved being together and teasing each other. We talked about this trip briefly before, but the main reason for this trip was for Mark from Oregon to come and switch cars with Nate from Nebraska. Ginger came along with Mark and stayed a few days longer, and at the end of the weekend Julie's family from Nevada even joined us! So with Sarah and Jana and Christina we had 7 out of 9 siblings! That is pretty much unheard of. We took advantage of the time together by going up to the Jenson cabin. It's great to have a place to get away up in the mountains.
The kids loved the time outside and swings, as well as the family walk to Frogberg lake. We were so impressed how well all the cousins played together, and Carter didn't too bad himself. Him and Joey actually bonded pretty well that weekend. Jana's father-in-law, Lyle, was even in town so we had just a great party up at the cabin on Friday.
We also enjoyed cruising around on the bikes, and eating smores with Nutella and GINORMOUS marshmallows! We even played this Ninja attack game, that was fun to play, and even more fun to watch. You have to try to slap the hand of the person next to you with only taking one step, and then you have to freeze in that position until it's your turn to try to avoid getting hit. A few other things we did that weekend was go to the dinosaur museum, and the petting zoo at Thanksgiving Point. Then we ended off the weekend with the Cousin Reunion. We love to have family come and visit and we can't wait to see everyone again!
