Summer Vacation

A quick run down of the whole and then I'll do some individual sections.
We left Colorado on Wednesday, June 23rd. We drove to Cheyenne Wyoming where we spent a delightful evening with our friends the Burns and then slept at their home that night. Thursday we had breakfast with the Burns family and then headed across Wyoming to Farmington UT. Thanx so much Burns family. We had a great time there.
We enjoyed a relaxing evening in Farmington and spent the night there at Dad and Mom Redd's home. On Friday we drove to Cabellas for the morning. What a fun place. We took our treasures home and then drove back down south to Grantsville for the Stone family reunion at Joe and Julie's house.
Saturday the Stone family reunion wrapped up at about 7pm and we went back to Farmington for the night. Saturday after church at Dad and Mom Redd's ward, we drove up to Logan for the Ryan family reunion, then slept in Farmington again.
Monday we added Mormon, Crystal, and Spencer to our crew and drove up to Idaho Falls where the kids and I all unloaded at Brigham and Heathers house and added Brigham to the bunch headed up to AFY at BYU Idaho. Mike took Brittany, Krystal, Spencer, Brig and Mormon up to AFY and then returned to IF where we spent the rest of the week. We gathered up the AFY crew on Friday and traded Spencer for Katry and then drove back down to Farmington.
Saturday the 3 of July we went to Orem for a fun Andersen family reunion. We returned to Farmington on Saturday night for the beginning of the Redd family reunion.
On Sunday we blessed baby Lucy and had lots of family both Redds and Stones and even our friends the Burns there to participate in that special occasion. The Redd reunion went until Wednesday morning when we drove up to Logan to spend the day with Gma Lou, Opa and Oma, the Rob Stones, and the Tripps. Fun day. We drove back to Farmington that night and then Mike and Michael drove back up to Logan to spend the night there.
Thursday the 8th Mike, Michael, and Opa spent the day fishing in Logan while the other kids and I spent the day in Farmington. Brittany and Allison went to Lagoon with a bunch of the Stone gang. I and the other 5 kids stayed at Redds and got to just chill!
Friday we did some remodel work at Redds and then after lunch went to Burnetts for a fun visit. Burnetts returned to Redd's with us Friday evening and Dad took us, the Burnetts and the Nephi Redds out to dinner at the Mandarine (adults only) Wow yum but best of all was the company!
EARLY Saturday morning we got up for the Farmington Festival Days run. Mike and Michael ran the 1/2 marathon, Nephi, Melanie, and Allison ran the 10K, Daren, Ivalou, and I ran the 5K. I can't believe I actually did it! The time is nothing to brag about but I didn't walk at all. Michael running the 1/2 is the really impressive bit. Following the run was the parade, kids swimming, men fishing, women cleaning and visiting and all kinds of good fun.
Sunday July 11, after Sacrament Mtg., we were on our way back home to Colorado.
