Ok, so my family on my mom's side is pretty close but we sure don't get together a whole lot. We live here in Salt Lake and in Utah County and it seems like we only get together when there is a blessing or a farewell or homecoming and then again at our Annual Christmas Party. So this week we got together 3 times. Why do you ask?
Well the first time was for my cousin Cameron Bruun's Farewell. He is going to be going to Sweeden for 2 years for his mission for the LDS Church. The 2nd and 3rd time can all be tributed to my Cousin Brittney that lives in Georgia. She decided to drive from Georgia all the way to Idaho for her family reunion and she decided to make a stop in SLC for a couple of days. It MADE all of us cousins get together since we don't see her a whole lot since she lives so far away. It was so awesome.
The first day we all met downtown at the Gateway to go to the Childrens Museum, have lunch together and then run through the Splash Fountains. The kids had a blast. All of us cousins had great fun watching our kids get to know each other a little better.

The next day we all headed down for a swimming party at Sarah and Dallin's House. Dallin is my cousin and brother to Cameron that is headed out on his mission. We had an amazing lunch and the kids had a blast in the pool. Later on my mom and her sisters Lisa and Tammy showed up. I think that they got a kick out of all the little kids playing so well together.
The whole gang-at least most of it.
You can do it Rylan.
The slide was the big hit!
Nice belly flop Nicholas :))))

That evening I talked Brittney into sleeping over at my house before her and the kids headed up to Idaho. Shawn has been working so hard that he came home and fell asleep before he even saw them. The kids of course made a fire for some smores and went on a few bike rides. They were so tired by 10pm that they acutally went to sleep that night. It was awesome to catch up with my cousin Brittney and my kids made great friends with her kids. They actually exchanged email addresses so that they could email each other when they went back to Georgia.
I promised the rest of my Utah cousins that I would plan a night out for the adults. I totally plan on doing that---sometime soon---I hope......
Love ya all and I had a great time getting together with everyone. Thanks :)))
