***Road to Reunion***
This was the mother of all road trips!!! Many hours, or should I say days, in the car led to many hours of fun with the people we love the most!
A whole lot of ELMERS!!! Eighty-Nine to be exact. We were only missing 6 family members who were never far from our thoughts. We missed you Mom, Dad, Annie, Amanda, Emily, and Carl!
Every T-shirt was numbered according to when each person came into the fam. Every number counts! 
I love this picture of Amy!
Elmer Reunion = Games, Games and more Games
Day Games
And of course the Money Dig 
Little Ella kept giving every coin she found to the diggers around her. She didn't pick up on that whole "Finders Keepers" thing. We will have to train her for next time.
Then, there are the Night Games. Every night at the same place, the same time, you'd hear a whole lot of laughing mixed in with a whole lot of trash talkin'. There was usually 4-5 different games going on at the same time.
It can get pretty serious.
It's always fun!!!
And there is a whole lot of this... 
See you gamers at the next reunion
Thanks for the Memories! It was an unforgettable "Road to Reunion" - Love you all!!!!
Next, we squeezed in a trip to the new OquirrhTemple! We made it through without Ella showing off her lungs! I laughed at this pic because it's more parking lot than temple. The kids were ready to go, but I had to stop to document that we did it! Love this temple!
Just keepin' the tradition alive at Strawberry Reservoir. Dad and Mom these are for you.
Things I remember about this week:
A favorite feature at Grandma Anna's and Papa Roger's house is the Trampoline. Matt can still do his back flip at the ripe old age 33. Love ya Matty!

Next, ***Sick Road back to UTAH***
Suz, thanks for taking care of a very sick me on the way back.
I couldn't stay sick for long. There was more fun to be had with more of our favorite people!
The Christensen's!!!
Pony Rides at Thanksgiving Point.
Every kid needs a big brother like Coy.
Ice Cream with Jake and Zack
We love our night with Grandma and Grandpa Walker. It's always one of our favorite things to do in Utah. It's precious time! We sit outside and laugh and talk, pick garden vegetables, ride the horse swings, play in the sprinklers, and eat ice cream. It doesn't get any better than that. Plus the view is remarkable!

Two silly girls having the time of their lives!
Then there is this one who would rather be drinking out of the fountain than jumping on the tramp.
They say that "All good things must come to an end"!
Leaving our mark at the Hole In The Rock!
THE END!

It was awesome to take this trip with you and the girls. I really miss being with you. I loved that while we were traveling the longest road to and from Pasco, we never ran out of things to talk about.
I miss my Ella, she melted my heart when she said "I still want Mommy, but Suzie OK!"
