Bishop Family Reunion

We had a super fun reunion with Nate's side of the family June 22-24. (We missed Eric and Kim and their kids, though.) We started out hiking to Timpanogos Cave. With a few pregnant ladies, lots of little ones and one old guy (oh, sorry Loren. Did I say that out loud?!), we did it! We were minus Mary (Nate's mom)..... who we didn't just leave on the mountain side, she was smart and didn't attempt it! It was a tough hike, but it was worth it. Nate had hiked it when he was 9 or 10 and I never had. We made some fun memories.
We camped for 3 days and played, laughed, ate, sang Kum Ba Yah .... wait, stratch that last one.... and had a really great time together. Nate and I had to chase Haley a lot of the time. She would kick it in high gear and make her own trail through bushes! She kept us on our toes, that's for sure. The kids had a very entertaining talent show one of the nights. We have some good talent in this family! We did a little more "hiking" at Cascade Springs. Nate and I took our wedding announcement pictures there so we decided to take another one 11 years later. Aww..... mushy, mush, {did you just gag???}... moving on....

There were lots of girly crafts to keep the girls entertained. {Thanks Jamie!}

Then the dads sent the boys to attacked us with their paper airplanes!!

We had a little "visitor" each night. The first night he made a big mess (thanks to Scott for cleaning it up) and the next night he only had some dog food to snitch. Sorry Mr. Racoon, no marshmallows for you this time!
Kaden had a front tooth hanging on by a thread one of the days (pictured above somewhere). It came out the day we were leaving. Unfortunately, the Tooth Fairy didn't know we were home and couldn't find us that night so Kaden had to leave a note the next night.
