Family Reunion Tour '09

Just after we moved all of our stuff to Wyoming and got (mostly) unpacked, we jumped in the car for another road trip! This time, we went to Utah and Idaho for three, yes THREE, family reunions. The first was in St. George with the Broughs.

Here we with Mom and Grandma and Grandpa at Tuacahn to see the musical Annie. (McKenzie is peeking at the camera.)

Part 2 of the Brough Reunion was to hike a section of the Narrows in Zion's Canyon. Here we are starting the hike.




I was particularly excited to hang out with my brother Bob. We hadn't seen each other since May 2007!

This was the high adventure part of the hike. Grandma wasn't afraid to get her feet wet!


Emily and McKenzie are loving it.
After spending a couple of days with Broughs in Southern Utah, we headed up to Central Utah, to Nine Mile Canyon for the Terry Family Reunion. For some reason, Melissa and I didn't take any pictures there, but Bob and Emily certainly did. You can see photos on their blog by clicking here.
After the Terry Reunion, Melissa and I parted ways with my parents and Bobily to go visit her family in Preston, Idaho.

Here we are on the farm with Rob and Sarah. Rob's taking us on a tour to show us some of the farm animals.

Here's Justin teaching me how to run a tractor.
While we were in Cache Valley we attended the Hansen Family Reunion, which was really fun. We got to visit with a lot of Melissa's relatives. We also went camping with several members of the Hansen clan, and we went to That Famous Preston Night Rodeo.

Melissa's cousins Matt, Phoebe, and Chloe show off their fancy belts before the rodeo parade.

Melissa and I show off our Wyoming Cowboy pride before the parade.
We had a great time with all of our family members who we got to see during the Reunion Tour '09. Thanks to everyone for making it so memorable and fun!
