Family Reunions

Utah family reunion - our little camper

Ella was 2.5months when we ventured down to Utah for our Leavitt family reunion. We left home a few days early and went to Yellowstone to spend a few days. Mom and Dad and Ty also came for a night with us. We went and visited Old Faithful which was pretty cool. Ella did pretty good with the trip down but we did have to make a few extra stops then usual. She also slept pretty good and seemed to enjoy the fresh air.







 

It was sure a pretty drive but it took us twice as long to get there with the trailer pulling behind us and a little baby that needed to eat every few hours.
Grandpa and a couple of his girls.



I had lots of hand willing to hold my girl during the weekend. 

Daddy loves his girl in a jersey and they look pretty cute I think








The weekend was really nice. I wish I got to visit more with my cousins but with a newborn I felt like I was out of the loop more than usual. My Aunt Gilda and daughters went to so much work and it was a very well planned and fun reunion. I am so grateful for the extended family that I have and the friendships that we share with one another.


Later in August we had a vacation with our immediate family at Echo Lake. We skied, relaxed, we played a lot of Rook and ate a lot of food. It was another fun time with the family and Ella had lots of people taking turns holding her and playing with her. This girl is well loved.
