Zachreson Family Reunion

For Labor Day weekend, we went camping with my family. It was fun to see those siblings that I only see once a year. Many of Clara's cousins had never met her and it was fun to see them take such good care of their little cousin. We were at Rockport State Park, which was a great little campground. My brother Matt decided he wanted to sleep in a hammock instead of a tent. The hammock became the kids' favorite thing to play with.On Saturday we left our little campsite and headed to Lehi to visit the Dinosaur Museum. The kids had a blast. Clara loved being able to get down and crawl to things. She also loved the puzzles she could play with.There were many things for the other kids to do as well.They would run from one exhibit to the next. It was fun to see their excitement.After the Dinosaur Museum we came back to the campground and got to go swimming.This is the littlest one there. Garrett is 2 months old.We spent our Sunday at Temple Square. We took family pictures in the South Visitor's Center. Here are all my siblings families, except for my oldest brother's family. We were taking pictures of them with their camera, and so we didn't get any on our own. Their two boys are the ones in bright orange in the dinosaur museum pictures.And of course, Clara loved being outside with her Daddy.As we were leaving Temple Square, a big rain storm came through. There was thunder, lightning, and even some hail. We were all planning on heading out Monday morning, but the storm was so bad that we all decided to leave Sunday night instead. It made for a quick camp take down, but at least we weren't soaked. Jeremy and I got to have a good night's rest, but the rest of my family had a long night of traveling ahead of them. It was fun to see everyone, and I'm glad the rain didn't come on Friday!

It looks like your Zachareson Family Reunion was fun. Too bad it rained so bad on Sunday night. I guess your tent is all dry and put away by now--right? It was great to see your mom, Matt and Emma. Oh! And also Rachel and her two youngest. I enjoyed seeing the pictures you took so I can get updated on your family.
Marilyn was excited to meet your mother, brother and sister, Sarah.
