ROBERTS REUNION

Right after the Robins reunion we headed to Albion, Idaho for the Roberts' Reunion.  We stayed in an old normal school dormitory.  It was beautiful, the perfect size, and had a great yard [Editor's note: it even had 9 portable frisbee golf holes that I set-up and played many rounds..there was that much space].


My cousin, Phil, brought his boat and took people out several times over the week.  One of my favorite moments came when a different cousin's kid was nervous about being on the boat. To help him out, Phil let him drive.  He was so excited, and it was really quite sweet.

Also getting to wake board, which I haven't done in years.  Yet I face planted and may neck was stiff for about a week.
Autumn spent all her time in the "hot pool" and playing "clippy girls" with cousins.  She was in heaven.

The twinners eating with Grandpa.

Teaching Preston (Hanna's fiance at the head of the table) how to play "Thump Thump", a game my grandpa invented (or at least that is the legend). [Editor's note: Not really, I grew up playing "Mormon Bridge" which is very similar. However, it is a legend!]

One day, Noah went fishing all day and brought home two fish.  He was a bit sad that he killed some fish.

Family Dance off

Autumn danced on the stage for a solid 35 minutes after the dance-off, even passing up cake!

ROBINS REUNION

We picked Evan up from work Friday night to drive to Utah to begin our Summer vacation.  In Parley's Canyon (between Park City and SLC), we hit major traffic due to several rain induced accidents when all of a sudden we were hit with the strongest, nastiest, grossest ever poop smell.  It took us almost 20 minutes to crawl to the nearest exit and just about as long to clean up Maverick's entire body. 

The next morning we woke up and headed to the Robins' family reunion.  It was held at a Boy Scout Camp near Payson.  The kids seemed to have a good time.
Violet loves taking other kids' pacifiers. She had a many attempts at Henry's...some successful, some not.

After playing at the Boy Scout Camp and a nasty expensive Boy Scout lunch, we headed to my dad's uncle's ranch where we road his horses.

Before/After

Autumn wore this dress when her cousin Charlie came to visit when she was 16 months.  Charlie wore the shirt Maverick is wearing when we took pictures of the cute little cousins.

The twinners getting even more daring...

Before Maverick's haircut...


He couldn't decide if he loved or hated the cape.  He kept flapping his arms in the cape, making him look like a bat or something.  It was adorable trust me.
