When Family Comes to Town

 We have a few family members on both sides of the family who live out of town, and they came to Utah for a visit during July. It was fun to catch up with all of them. 

Lance, Heather, Brooke, and Cicely live in Nashville, Tennessee. They flew into town and we were able to get almost all of my family together for a family party to celebrate my dad's 75th birthday. 

My dad requested his favorite, "Better than Robert Redford" dessert. Some people may call the dessert by different name that I cannot put into this book because there are children who read it, so we'll just go with my dad's name for it. 

I grew up with three older brothers, and yes, it was hard. 

My cute parents. 

And my parents with 9/12 of their grandkids. Ryan's boys were not in town this weekend. 

Tyler's uncle and aunt live in Jacksonville, Florida. They came to Utah to visit over the 24th of July, so we headed up to the Land. 

Makayla is seriously amazing! She really upped her cupcake skills and had 3 different designs.  

There were "HL" (Hanna Land) cupcakes, campfire cupcakes, and kayak cupcakes. She made them all by herself! Not only were they decorated so cute, but they were so delicious! 

Looks like one of the bears fell out of the canoe

Tyler and Roger played as we danced around the campfire. 

Tyler and I went on a long 4 wheeler ride. 

I love the sunsets at Hanna. 

We played lots of games and had some tournaments. 

Brynnli and Ryan won and Lani and Caden won. 

Then a few nights later we had everyone over to our house for an outdoor movie. 

We weren't done with the family parties yet. We had a family dinner at Tammy's and got everyone together for a picture. 

The original 6 cousins. 

And the next generation of cousins.
