My mom did a wonderful job at planning, preparing for, and hosting the Stapel Family Reunion this year in Ferron. We had great food, fun and location. It was hard because Ray didn't attend with Kate and I. He went to youth conference and I tried to manage a baby camping for 4 days by myself. I would have failed miserably if it weren't for my mom, Jess and my Uncle Gordon (who loves babies and took Kate at every chance)!
Jess took me for a scenic drive to the lake, it was very romantic! Haha! Ferron is teensy tinsy but so fun! Dessert to the east, mountains to the west and a lot of nothing in between. We could drive the razr everywhere in town we went which was fun!
Kate loved swinging, even though she looks to be holding on quite tight. We played a super fun game in the park after dark...every park should have one of these games!
Briele was so good to play with and take care of Kate.
We went on a field trip to the "Little Grand Canyon" and we did "Lion King" on the rock per cousin Mindy's request. We also went and saw hieroglyphs on the cliffs, Mindy serenaded Kate with her ukulele and Kate could not stop laughing and clapping! We saw an adorable little family of mountain goats trying to run up the hill. The mom kept showing the baby how to do it but he just couldn't quite get it so he found an easier route. It was fun to watch the thought process of the baby goat as he found his way.
We played lots with cousins, glow sticks, Uncle Gordon and she LOVED eating a plum! She was a mess but just dove in and sucked the plum til it was half gone!
We went to the funnest water park in Castledale. It had an awesome lazy river, waterslide and playground! Kate loved swimming and splashing and I loved playing crazy with the little girls while Kate slept for a bit!
Madison was brave and went under the water again and again and again...as long as I took a picture! She is getting so brave!
I took Kate on a water slide which she thought was fun especially with the big splash at the end! My mom even went on the waterslide and loved it and proceeded to go several more times!
It was a super fun trip! My mom was a great host/planner! I am excited to take Ray back to Ferron one day to show him the fun things around there!
