Earlier this summer we met up with my family (the Andersons) for an extended Family reunion at Zion's Ponderosa and then had an immediate family reunion there and in St. George for the rest of the week. It was a much needed vacation and we had a blast with the family.
(See how excited we were to be together?!)
Jordan had all sorts of new adventures with the family:
He was Dad's mini-golf partner
He went swimming a few different times with us (and loved his little boat as you can tell)
He took a nap while the girl cousins and Aunts had a paint ball war. That was a lot of fun!
(And Annie and I retrieved the flag successfully!)
Jordan loved the attention from Papa, Nana, the Aunts and Uncles and his Nieces.
He came on a couple of hikes as well. Some of us hiked Angel's Landing... a rigorous but awesome hike. (named because the first man to hike it thought only an angel could get to the top.)
The others (including Kris) hiked Subway and enjoyed the challenge.
Mom was kind to watch the kids while we hiked the narrows. We loved it! You hike through the water in between big canyon walls on both sides of you. That will be a fun memory.
It was so wonderful to be all together! We had a couple of enjoyable days in St. George and learned about some of our ancestors who helped settle St. George. The story of their lives really inspired me to be a better person.
(This stair case in the tabernacle was constructed by one of our ancestors).
At the very end of the trip, Nana (my mom) gave Jordan his FIRST HAIRCUT! We think he looks great! Kris video taped it with his phone. :)
