Last Trip Before School :'(

So my last post was titled reunions, reunions, and more reunions, when in all reality we only went to one that weekend and hit three this weekend, so I guess that's what this title should really be..
 
We left BL on Tuesday July 22 and came home so Tommy could work Wed. and Thurs. and then left again on Friday morning the 25th to go back down! It was pretty great! Heck I didn't even mind all the driving, because it was all worth spending all that time with my family! The only "bad" thing is being down in BL that much made me really miss it!
 
So we left Friday morning at 7 to make it down in time for our hair appointments with my sister in law! We seriously get the works when we go home! This weekend was our family camping trip (kinda a reunion), and two more reunions on my side! So the weekend was packed with fun!


Oop there's another picture of Tally and her favorite person while I was getting my hair done!
So stinkin sweet!

After finally getting out to the camp site, we set up our tent, for our 2nd camping trip (in a tent) ever!, and had a delicious pulled pork dinner with a cookie bar dutch oven dessert and roasted marshmallows to follow and lots and lots of laughs! (If you hang with my family, it's nonstop laughing!) We laughed until 2 in the morning when we finally decided it was time to go to bed! Only to be up at 7 the next morning (I was anyways! Thanks to the dogs and my light sleeping!)

Some serious posing by our bed for the next few nights!... I seriously am sick of taking pictures of us standing the same way in all of them! So we were gonna be cheesers in this picture and do something different but everyone was looking at us so we settled for the same pose.. haha

This camping stay was a lot better than our first experience! We actually had an egg shell pad to go under us and were on flat ground vs our first trip fishing where we were laying on rocks with no padding and sloping downward so we had to keep sliding up in the middle of the night!

Oh and that's my husband!! Cute huh??! :) I think Tally wanted him to put that on (hopefully) ;)... he was a good sport!

Saturday morning we went to my Johnson reunion for awhile to say hello and eat lunch, but since we had another reunion to hit (and it was at the lake!), we didn't stay too long and headed out the best place on the planet, again, The Lake!!
 
When we got to that reunion we talked a little bit with everyone there, and since we and they had already eaten we headed to the beach to play! They had a lot of fun things to do like paddle boards, jet skis, and tubes, canoes, and football. 


We pilled in the back with all the kids! But don't worry it was only from the road down the beach and we were safe!
(There was a bad accident in BL a few weeks ago where a few kids flew out of the bed of an open truck because they were riding in the bed on a highway and were struck by another vehicle :( )

Tommy and I canoed across the lake ;) just kidding! We didn't even make it half way!
But it was sure fun!! And a good shoulder workout!

My older brother and sisters, missing the two youngest ones

All of my family that were at the reunion!
We missed my sister-in-law, her little girl, and one nephew!

Here's just a picture of our last night, and even though it's only a third of our circle around the fire, you can tell how good of a time we were all having!!

Haha little miss Tally loves to take after her Mommy and do my hair! 
She did this every day, several times a day! She probably would have done it all day if I would have let her!

There were a lot of picture that I didn't get on my phone so I'm sad I can't add those to this right now, but I'll add them sometime when they get passed along :)

Sunday morning we had breakfast burritos together and then packed up and headed home :( But Tommy and I didn't quite leave yet, we stopped at my sisters and did our laundry since it all smelled like smoke, and hey when you have an opportunity to do your laundry for free instead of paying two bucks a load, take it! But the time came that we had to head back to Twin. Tommy had to work Monday morning and I was going to a three day review to get a head start preparing for my boards :( So back to reality it was! And probably the last time we visit Bear Lake until who knows when, probably our cruise (132 Days!)

We really had a wonderful time visiting and spending so much time with our family! We are truly blessed with an amazing family! (On both sides!) And I am so grateful for all of them, and for all they do for us-we don't express it enough. We love you all Soo much!!

And back to nursing school I go, for one last semester!! So this may (or may not) be the last post until December..

So until next time..

COME ON DECEMBER!
