Happy Labor day





























For Labor day, Daves moms family has a reunion every year, this year they decided to have it up AF canyon. We were excited. We absolutely love it up there, we just never have the chance to make it there NEAR as often as we would like, so we were glad it gave us the excuse to go there. We headed out early in the morning and went four wheeling for a few hrs up into mineral basin ( to see how the ol cabin Dave has had his eye on for a while-- and was going to call the guy who owns it to see about how he could aquire it :) but it was either tore down or a mud slide or something came through and leveled it- he was pretty bumbed!!) then we wanted to get some good family pictures, and pictures of the kids. We found a pretty stream and dave got all the kids positioned on rocks in the stream, then I went to snap the pictures... only to find out my camera batteries were dead, but dont worry, I always have a spare... Hold on kids dont fall in the water while I change my batteries. OH CRAP these batteries are dead too. I was so mad. so we had out cell phones and took some with those- I'm sure they arent as good but atleast we got some. Then we decided to head up into forest lake. Man, it is so beautiful up in there!! Kaylee had fun catching the salamanders..she caught like 5 or so. Then headed down to the reunion at Mutual Dell. Thats always fun. They also reserved the zip line. Kaylee wanted to do it. So Dave got her all strapped in, then she was scared to Dave went with her then she wanted to do it again by herself. Then after she was totally bumbed that she had Dave go with her the first time. She loved it. Then we went up to Silver Lake Flats to end the day with some fishing. We had a great time. The kidos were catching the fish left and right.. Having a ball. We were even lucky enough to have grandma Snyder and Mike and Karra and that sweet little Adison come with us. Although the girlies will have to give uncle Mike some lessons on how to catch fish :) its all in the mickey mouse pole, Man. well, here are some of the pictures from our day. Enjoy!!

  2. That sounds like it was sooo much fun!! I wish we could have come to that reunion. Maybe they'll keep doing it there. You got some super cute pictures, even though they were on a cell phone :) I miss that place so much.

  3. Kaylee was so adventurous going on the zip line by herself. No way would I have ever done that at any time in my life, let alone when I was five. Thanks for letting us go fishing with you. I definitely know who the pros are.

  4. Caden with his helmet on looks so much like a picture we have of David when he was about that age on the back of his dad's motorcycle.
