Giles Family Reunion

Post number 2 for today. Giles family reunion Hannah Utah. Well we found out about a week before the reunion that Rafael wasn't going to be able to go. We were all sad but the kids and I decided to go anyways. We drove up with my parents in their motor home. It was a fun drive. The kids loved laying up on the bed above the cab and playing with their toys. We drove to Springville the first night and stayed in a mobile home park. The kids and I all slept up on the top bed that night. Then the next day we headed over to Hannah. It was a windy road but it was a fun drive. Before we left I made the mistake of asking Conner if he wanted to sleep in the motor home with Grandma and Grandpa or in a tent. Thinking of course he would pick the motor home. Oh no he picked the tent. So when we got there we set up camp. It is so pretty there. We stayed there for two nights before heading back. The kids had a blast. We played games, went for walks, the boys went fishing with grandpa and both ended up falling in the river. It was so cold at night that I froze but the kids slept just fine, and so hot during the day. There were 78 people there just from my moms family, and probably 3 times that all together with all the extended family. We had a blast but I really missed having Rafael there. It is a lot of work camping without him.

How fun does this look?!?! Tons of fun. It must have been a challenge without Raphael, though! I am glad you guys got away for awhile. We will have to get together and "hang" now that you are back! I love your pictures!

That looked like so much fun. I love camping! I think it would be fun to travel in a motorhome!! Not have to be in a seat belt. I wish I could come down more often and see you. I'm glad to hear all is going well.
