After visiting some friends and family in Utah we made the drive to Bear Lake to a family reunion with Brian's immediate family members. There's a bunch of us so it was a wild time - and lots of fun! Of course I took so many pictures it was hard to choose a few - but I did, and here they are (although some people may not consider this to be "a few")
Sophie and Aunt Cathrine - I think they look alike
Brian and our niece Madalyn (his sister Becca's little girl)
Grandma reading stories to the kids - Owen (on the far right) fell sound asleep before she was done!
Grandpa Phillips and the newest addition to join the family - Elliot
Two of my lovely sisters- in- law - Emily and Emily!
Ava and Miles in the shirts they decorated - Ava is in the process of saying "CHEESE"
Our trio of trouble...
ALL the Phillips grandkids. They are all so unique and adorable and fun!

Sophie learned to Hula Hoop while we were there and got pretty good!

Nora
Me and Madalyn
Sophie loves babies - and Elliot was no exception!We played a lot on the beautiful beach at Bear Lake:
The girls having a great time looking for treasures in the sand
Miles loves to do this pose and yell "RAAAAA!!!" I was obviously copying him. He thought it was pretty funny!
The kids digging for treasure with Uncle Toph
Miles was loving this
Nora kept getting in the water and then running out to roll in the sand.. then back in the water... and back in the sand, etc.,etc.,etc.
Miles loving the water
Becca and Madalyn
Some of the crazier family members had a "coolest entry into the water" contest.
Grandma and Miles
Sophie and grandma working on their shirts
Emily Ann and cute Elliot
Sophie and grandma giggling on the deck - if I remember right they were watching Uncle Patrick hula hooping! And here are some of the more entertaining hula-hoopers:
Matt

A cute picture of Sophie and Grandma
Grandma playing with the kids - I think she's attempting to do the hokey-pokey with them.
Cute Truman
Sophie - who looks so old in this picture - too bad her hair is in her eyes though!
Pretty Ava
Of course the kids all loved the sandbox!We had such a great time with everyone. A few other highlights were playing games all together (have you ever played the Violent Chair game?? It is awesome) hanging out and relaxing with each other and eating delicious food together. We love you all. Thanks for a great reunion!

I think you did very well in choosing the pictures..I have yet to get to that point in my posting, but am kind of dreading the picking part :)
Miss you guys.
That looks like it was a blast. I don't mind all the pictures, they are fun and you take really good ones. Any chance you want to buy a new camera and give me yours? Doesn't hurt to ask, right?
Hope Michigan is treating you well and we hope to see you the next time you are in town, but we know you are a hot commodity. Take Care!
What great pictures. You really have a way of capturing just the right shot.
