In June, we were supposed to have a family reunion. It didn't work out. But, my awesome sister Lisa and her family had already made the plans to come, as had my parents and sister Kirsten, so they all decided to come anyway. So we basically got a free week to just hang out and soak each other up. It was so much fun. In fact, we had SO much fun, I didn't take hardly any pictures. We hung out, laughed, played at parks, watched baseball games, shopped, had tons of cousin time, sleepovers, went to a movie, went swimming, hiked the Y, went to SLC/Temple Square, had a GNO at The Chocolate, and much more. Sure wish we all lived closer so that we could do these things more often.
So the only pictures I took were at the Church Museum in Salt Lake. They had an interactive children's display all about the Book of Mormon. The kids had a lot of fun running around and trying everything out. Get ready for lots of pictures!

This was the dance area where you could dress up and learn traditional dancing.

It WAS a FUN time! We enjoyed our visit! The kids had a great time at the church museum! Those replica gold plates Tyler lifted were '50' pounds!The actual weight of the plates. Joseph Smith was a built young man and wasn't afraid of hard work, lived on a farm, and probably had no problem lifting them!
