camping in paradise

This year, the Jenkins family reunion was held in Paradise, UT. My Uncle Scott and Aunt Becky were in charge, and we had a great time.

AAARRGH!

There was a carnival for the kids


Beau and Carly in matching jammies... Hopefully one day Carly will forgive me for dressing her in Luke's old P.J.'s.


Playing Ball




Playing the newlywed game. The four couples that have been married the longest on the left, and the four couples who were married the most recent on the right.




Addison and Carly


We had a obstacle course, and we got 1st place! You can imagine how special I felt, because I really never win anything!
The winning team consisted of Matt W., Matt S. (we have a ridiculous amount of Matts in the family... thus the last initial), Jess, Me, my Mom, and Benjamin.

We made potato cars and raced them on a track... Luke was so excited he didn't even care that ours had to be pushed down the track


Grandpa helping Abigail make her rope


The rope making was for the kids, but the adults loved it too.

Abigail loved her rope.  It's probably her most favorite toy now.


It didn't matter whose turn it was to run under, Ab went everytime.


Luke doing some male bonding over ice cream cones


Ab found a pink chair! You can imagine her excitement


Right before we left, Carly crashed... she usually doesn't fall asleep while being held, but camping had taken its toll. We had a great weekend!
