Clover and Reuniting.

After a couple relax days with family in Tooele, we headed down south, just outside Capital Reef National Park for the family reunion. First, we drove through my mom's childhood home town. I have heard so many stories but had never been there. We saw her home, her first church, her favorite tree to climb, where her school was and the mountains she loved. We had to get down to the reunion so didn't spend much time but I am glad we drove through and smelled the smells and saw the colors of her childhood.

The mountains where my grandpa worked as a miner

The reunion was spent eating good food, taking in the striking scenery, and catching up with family (plus one hilarious bread on a stick competition). We got back on the road early this morning to make our way home and we are nearly there. We meandered our way though some gorgeous scenery this morning but the whole trip has been lovely--so many varied and beautiful landscapes.

Backdrop for my aunt's house.


A group of us went on a hike, Cassidy's arch, in Cora Reef.


That is the arch in the background.




These are my two cousins that are closest in age to me--so
fun to catch up.

Saturday night we had a hotdog roast.
