Johnson Family Reunion

This past week was the Johnson family reunion with most of my dad's siblings.

We did tons of fun things but only took pictures of a few.

The boys hiked Table Rock one day while the girlies went to Jackson for an art and chocolate tour. Adam only puked a little.

Battleship Mountain in snow.

Taking a rest at the top. They say it wasn't cold… I don't believe them. It's always cold up there.

Waiting for Uncle Bryce to fly over in his plane that he built himself!!!! 

Taking a wee morning walk.

Ian had to carried. Haha. For about two feet. He's getting a bit big for that.

Rory made Teeny and me these beautiful wild flower bouquets. he even tied them together with grass!

A marmot that only Rory saw.

We all made and decorated a little rocket then went and shot them off in the field above our cabin.

Pete and the Dairy.

Super Sam and Mark checking out their photos. 

Adam and Angela.

Jeff was the man in charge. He set up all the rocket stuff.

Gramps enjoying the fun.

Madelyn not enjoying the fun. I had to take her back to the cars. I don't think she liked being that close to all the noisy lift offs.

Adam running around looking for his rocket.

Candace right before she got stung by a bee on her tummy. Bummer.

Blast off!

We also floated Big Springs but I didn't risk bringing our camera on that trip. Rory got a cool picture of a moose on his phone. But we had lots of fun and Madelyn didn't drown. She did have a blast sticking her fingers and toes in the cold water. It was fun seeing everyone!

July the Fourth

We walked down to watch the 4th of July parade this year. It was pretty fun. Madelyn especially liked all the motorcycles and horses.

We watched with our friends the Youngs. Kylie really liked Madelyn's wagon.

Her cute little patriotic outfit.

Rory was pretty excited about the fire truck.

In the evening we lit a few sparklers. We managed to not get any burned toes or poked out eyes. There were a few close calls.

Pete…. Hahahaha.

The sparklers were a hit I guess.

Happy Birthdays

Sam and Madelyn had their birthdays this weekend. Dad, Sam and Ian came down for a few days to celebrate. Sam's birthday request was to go see the Hill Air Force Base air show. Everyone had a great time, especially Madelyn. She couldn't get over how cool the planes were. She's still talking about it.

She was so good about wearing her earplugs and sunglasses!

That evening we did presents.

She actually enjoyed being sung to this year. Last year she cried.

Sam wishes he'd gotten a cute dress for his birthday.

Rory thought the card was pretty cool.

Undies!!

She was so cute in her new birthday dress. She showed it off to everyone at church.

Girl Hike

Last weekend we took a girl hike up Timp! It was mostly fun. The wildflowers were all in bloom and it was gorgeous!

Happy hikers starting out.

Having a lunch break.

Having a not lunch break.

Having a snow break…. there were lots of breaks. And lots of snow.

View from the top snowfield. We didn't actually make it to the top of the mountain because of all the snow. I don't think there was this much snow last year when Rory and I hiked Timp.

Look how happy they are to be hiking!

Up Rock Canyon

We took Pete and Candace and Laura rock climbing last weekend. Laura had never climbed on real rocks before. We went in the morning so it was lovely and shady and not too hot.

Pete shoving his feet into Rory's shoes. He actually got bruises from his feet being so squished! I'm impressed he did the whole route without crying.

The happy belayer.

Everyone was so sweet to Madelyn. She's lucky to have such loving aunts and uncles.

Laura on her way up.

Candace wore Rory's shoes without getting bruises.

She scrambled right up the wall.
