Family Reunion

This year we had a family reunion in California. I seriously have the best, funnest, loudest, craziest, happiest, funniest family ever. We crammed in so many fun things in just a weeks time. So I have included TONS of pictures to show everyone just how much fun we had.

On the first day we all met up at the Science Center near USC and watched the Hubble IMAX 3D, 'cause Pops works for Ball Aerospace, the company who built the telescope, so he had lots of insider information to share. Then we headed to a delicious dinner at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. This place has the best atmosphere and is a must when in SoCal.

Our next day was spent at Universal Studios. We all had on our matching family reunion shirts...aww how cute!

Day 3: DISNEYLAND!!! All day long! And it was Taylor's 5th birthday. So so SOO much fun. There is something that is just so fun about going to the magic kingdom with my entire family and 4 fun kiddies. We had a blast, and laughed our heads off. The next day we had to say goodbye to Jeremy, and then made a quick trip to the beach, which was kinda a cold and windy day, but everyone made the most of it. The highlight for me was watching my parents play in the waves!! They looked like they were 8 years old again playing in the ocean for the first time...hilarious!

So then after a fun filled time in SoCal, we headed north to Yosemite. We stayed in an amazing house and crammed in all we could up here too. We hiked the mist trail by Vernal Falls, saw Lower Yosemite falls, Bridal Veil Falls, went to Mariposa Grove, stopped at the most gorgeous overlooks of Yosemite Valley, and spent some time at Bass Lake. I love that my family enjoys the outdoors so much. We have done lots of hiking and camping together in some beautiful places, so it was fun to share the beauty of Yosemite with them.

This was seriously one of the best weeks of my life! I love my family so much...they really are my best friends. Even though we are all spread out across the country (Hawaii, Utah, Texas, Colorado, and Massachusetts) We still have such strong relationships. I can't wait till we are all together again!
