Baughman Family Reunion

This summer we drove the LONG two days to get to the Oregon Coast for a Baughman family reunion. Aunt Katy and Aunt Jody did one day of the road trip with us. Out on the coast we had a great time with our extended family, stayed in a fun group of cabins and enjoyed the green of Oregon once again! It was a fantastic time!

After all the reunion fun we had one last get together with the Vance family. Grandma and Grandpa Gardner were there as well as all of Dad's family except for one brother. We had a great time with them.

Utah Trip Part 3- Gunnell Reunion

The Gunnell Reunion started with a great day on Utah Lake. Danny and Julie brought their boats and gave the kids the best time on the water wakeboarding and tubing. All four of the older kids got to wakeboard (J Man got up for his first time.) That night we went to pizza with the whole crew. The next day was the Provo Fourth of July parade and party at Julie's. The next day we got to hang out at Julie's again swimming and doing karaoke. Finally, on Sunday we went to church with Grandma and then had a great lunch and testimony meeting. It was a fantastic reunion!!

Utah Trip Part 2- Seven Peaks

On our trip to Utah we went to Seven Peaks. It was a total blast! We were joined by Aunt Katy, Aunt Jody, Aunt Crystal and kids, Angela and family, and the Rogers girls. It was a great day of playing in the water and enjoying each other's company. Party!!

Utah Trip With the Cousins

This summer my sister Susie sent her three oldest out to be with our family for a week. They kids were so excited to have their cousins along for our road trip to Utah. It was such a blast to have them. In Utah, we set up a time to meet up with our good friends and cousins the Davises from Roseburg. We also went out to Park City where Uncle Russ treated everyone to rides on the Alpine slide and zip line. The kids had a blast. After that Dad bought everyone snow cones and then we went swimming with Uncle Russ at fun pool. It was a great day! That evening we had dinner with Grandma Vance, Camille and Kim and families at Kim and Boo's new house. It was good food and great company as always!
