Jay Jenkins reunion 2014

It was my parent's turn for our reunion this year.  They picked a campground up St. Charles canyon by Bear Lake.  The campground had the best little river going through it that the kids loved.  We got there Thursday, had dinner and watched the kids play.  Friday morning we got up and went to Minnetonka cave.  The kids did wonderful and walked the whole thing.  They loved it.  After the cave we headed to Bear Lake and ate lunch there while we swam.  Later that night, we came back to the campground had dinner, and put the kids to bed early so us adults could hang out.  The kids were so exhausted that they didn't even care that it was still light outside.  Saturday we had breakfast and then packed up.  Everyone was in charge of a meal, and I couldn't have picked a favorite.  They were all so good.  

 I love Hailey's camping attire.  That's all she wants to wear, skirts.

 My parents had dinner the first night, and for dessert my Mom made a "pail of sand".  It was crazy how much it looked like sand.  I couldn't believe it.  It was actually nilla wafers crushed up with a few oreos, layered with whipped cream and cream cheese.  SO good.  The kids were a bit skeptical at first, but it was delicious.

 I don't think Kael ever tried it.  He just wasn't convinced that it wasn't sand :)

 Carly and Hailey like to pretend they are twins.  They don't have very many matchy outfits, so they like to switch tops and p.j. bottoms so that they look like twins.

 On our way into the cave.  This was my 4th time.  Ben and the kids first time.

 Hailey did so good going up and down all of those stairs

 Abigail loved these formations.  She thought they looked like birthday cakes.  They were really called the 3 sisters.

The kids watched a little squirrel for a while.

 The beach was so much fun.  We could walk out forever without the water getting deep.

 I think the adults liked playing in the sand as much as the kids did

 Isaac was the best little baby the whole trip.  Even with spit up all over his face :)

Can't wait until next year's reunion!
