Jefferies Family Reunion

For the Fourth of July weekend, I went on a trip up to the Jefferies Family Reunion in Utah. Unfortunately, Ty was not able to get work off, so Jack and I went with my parents. On our way up, we stopped in Vegas. Just for old time's sake, we ate at Railroad Pass - a definite family tradition. Too bad they didn't have the $0.99 breakfast special like they did 15 years ago...


We spent the afternoon walking the strip. Jack was such a trooper.



Gucci?...no!


Our hotel room.


The first of many buffets...


The next stop was Spanish Fork to see some of my Hansen cousins. This is me with Janna, Becki, and Anna.


We stayed with my Uncle Ron and Aunt Reta.


Jack slept a lot in the car.


We finally made it to Heber Valley Camp, where the Jefferies Reunion was held. I got to see so many cousins that I hadn't seen in years! It was so much fun and the weather was absolutely gorgeous. This is me with Anna, Katie, Michelle (and baby), and Whitney.


The Scott Jefferies family. We had about 50% turnout. Not bad.


On the first day, we did a challenge course. One of the challenges was getting everyone over "The Wall." Somehow, I made it. I'm not quite sure how it happened, though, because my eyes were closed. Yikes.


The next challenge was a high ropes course. This is by far the stupidest think I have ever done. I was the first to go in my group. I just wanted to get it over with. I knew if I chickened out that Ty would be disappointed, so this was all for him. I love you, Ty!


Right about here, I started pondering the Plan of Salvation...


I did it! And I don't know that I'll ever do it again...


We all slept in cabins. It was a long night, considering all the people that snore in my family, but we survived. It was cold in the morning!


My beautiful niece Sariah Rebekah.


Anna and I getting ready for a cruise in the canoes.



My awesome cousins in order from oldest to youngest! I'm somewhere in there...


What a fun trip! I'm glad to be back, though. When I got home, Ty surprised me. He had painted Jack's room and the hall bathroom, made me a night stand, and hung curtains! Whoa! I might need to leave town more often... Sorry ladies, but he's taken!

I know Ty is taken... obviously, but do you think he could give some pointers?
Way to go on all your scary adventures... I bet Ty was proud!
