Family=Fun

In June we were lucky enough to have a big Blau family reunion week. Most of my parents children and grandchildren were able to come together for a week and a half of fun. We started out the festivities by going to Salt Lake and visiting Temple Square.

All of my parent's grandchildren
The cousins were so excited to finally get to see each other!

My nephew Leonard
Kelly Jo is such a good Auntie!
These two are such good buddies!
The kids really enjoyed looking at the Hansen Planetarium. Especially dropping coins into the vortex of money thingy!

The next day was spent getting ready for our big camping trip the kids entertained themselves at Grandma's house pretty well:
Grandma said she would pay the kids a dime for every pine cone or stick the kids could pick up. The older two grandchildren made quite a bit of money!
Julia and Alton had a lot of fun riding their scooters together.
I thought it was funny seeing the girl's faces in this picture!
Two of the afternoons we were up visiting the kids were able to play on Grandma's water slide! They had so much fun playing with cousins!

Let's play ball!

We just finished another year of t-ball and coach pitch. It was Cecilia's first season, and I am sure she will want to play again next year! One of the more funny moments that she had was when her coach was helping her hold her bat with two hands and then he walked away. She swung the bat one handed and the ball flew off of the tee! Everyone started laughing!

Random Price Activities

The girls dressed each other up one afternoon. Cecilia had quite the hair do!
Julia enjoyed the Elder's Quorum BBQ.
Benson and some friends caught some ants and a scorpion and put them in cup and fed them food at the Elder's Quorum BBQ.
We all participated in the Ward service project one Saturday morning. We spent several hours cleaning out the neighborhood gutters.
The kids wrapped a present for Ben from Phoenix for Fathers Day. They used Christmas paper, because we have an excess of it at our house.
The kids and I all gave Ben some gifts as well. We had fun watching him open them. He received an assortment of random gifts from the kids and Phoenix: vampire teeth, spy scope, green crayon, etc....
