Oh, how our garden grew when we were gone!

Record Family Reunion

We traveled to Utah for our reunion. My parents rented a cabin in Heber, it was a blast! We mostly stayed at the cabin, played games, hiked and talked. One of the days we visited our old family cabin- my great, great grandfather built it. It's a neat, rustic cabin, but not exactly the place for 12 grandchildren under the age of 7 and 26 adults.

Popsicle- the treat for a bunch of grand kids with allergies!

The Cabin

We ran into some construction at the cabin, they were laying pipe. All the boys were fascinated with the bulldozers!






My dad is a botanist by hobby. He led the kids on a nature hike and they learned plant names. They got to collect leaves in their bags too.


Twister with the cousins and grandpa.

Amy's house- Utah

We stayed at my sister Amy's before the Record reunion. Nathan and his family came too and the kids had fun in the water.

Oquirrh Mountain Temple- Open House

While in Utah we were able to go to this temple open house. Its a rare event to go inside an LDS temple before its dedicated. Once its dedicated its closed to the public and opened only to members of the church who are living high moral standards and Christin principles.

It was a good experience for Marshall to go inside the temple. Now when we say,"We are going to the temple" he will have a better idea of what its like there.


We ran into Corbett's cousin Nikki and family.... its a small world.
