Jeremy's extended family reunion was held this last weekend. It was fun to get to know cousins that I don't see very often. We started the reunion by attending an Orem Owls baseball game.
The kids got to meet Holly Owl - one of the mascots. (Sorry the picture is blurry; by the time I got around to taking a second picture, Holly was gone.)
The next day we went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. Clara was tired and hungry, so she wasn't on her best behavior. I was frustrated because I knew she was ruining the experience for so may people around us. Luckily, Aunt Melissa just took her and was able to calm her down. Clara was great for Melissa the whole rest of the "tour."
We then went and got a tour of the Relief Society building. Since Aunt Melissa works there, we had our own private tour guide. The kids listened for a little while on a CTR mat.
After the tour, we played water games. Clara LOVED the water. Even though she had only gotten a 45 minute nap, she was pretty good the whole evening. I love that little girl so much! In this picture, the kids were trying to pick up marbles with their feet. Whoever got the most marbles out of the pool won. It was a favorite game by both adults and kids.
We ended the reuion with festive activities for the 4th of July. We attended the East Mill Creek carnival, played games at John and Sharon's, and ended the evening with fireworks. Clara was pretty tired when the fireworks started, but she wouldn't take her eyes off them. She only got slightly scared when the noisey fireworks went off. She just snuggled right up with her daddy and enjoyed the show.
What a great weekend!

The reunion sounds like it was a success and a lot of fun. The last picture of Clara all cuddled up to her Daddy is cute.
OMG!!!!! That scoreboard was awesome!!! And guess what? My ancestor (my like... 5th... great grandpa on my mom's side) was in that video for the Oquirrh Mountain Temple!! I don't know if you remember them talking about a Thomas Butterfield... he was one of the early settlers. They had his picture up there with 2 other guys too! haha, it was SWEET!!
