1st annual Larry Dawson family reunion

My sis-in-law, Courtney, wanted to go to Manti this year to see the pageant. I've never been, so we decided to make a trip out of it and call it our family reunion. Larry, Sharla, Ben, Abigail, Luke, and myself drove down to Courtney and Ryan's house in Spanish Fork, Friday. She cooked us some dinner, then we all drove to Manti.
The kids had a great time. They kept themselves entertained so well while we were waiting for the pageant to begin. They loved the pageant. It kept their attention the entire time. Abigail was so excited to see angel Moroni appear on top of the temple, but so sad when I told her it wasn't the real angel.
That night we drove back to S.F. and spent the night at Courtney and Ryan's. We got up the next morning and went to seven peaks. The kids did awesome for being sleep deprived and in the heat all day. We got home Saturday night and I was so excited to see my little girls. Grandma Barb babysat them for us.









Next year, we will plan ahead of time so maybe Freddie, Heather, Ryan, and Eli can come.

I love that first picture of you and Ben. I also think the picture of you family at Kael's blessing is darling...I really don't think it is possible to have a perfect family picture at this stage of life, ha, ha.

I did not know Eli was in Iraq!!! Wish him the best!

I had forgotten about the Manti pageant. I agree with Steph the kids look so cute in their matching clothes for the picture. I feel like I haven't seen you forever :)
