We made the drive down to Utah for the Archibald/Foster reunion. This was my first real reunion with tons of people that I've never met. I am curious as to how many family reunions take place in Utah every year since about every person you meet attends one.
One night we ventured to Temple Square, only to be reminded of just how beautiful it is. Not that I expected anything less but the landscaping was immaculate, not a single weed anywhere!
As usual Hayley and cousin Milena were inseparable the entire trip.
It's so fun to see them play so well together.
We took a look inside the old Tabernacle, it was just as I had remembered from watching General conference on TV as a kid.
I have a similar picture of before we were married, in front of this same fountain.
(without kids of course) I wish I could find it..
(...jeez, Chels get some posture!)
I shouldn't have been surprised that even though it was only Thursday when we went to Temple Square, there were probably 4 weddings going on. Having not ever been to Utah until I was about 20 a lot of things still surprise me; like the Beehives on the road signs, pictures of Prophets for sale in random stores, and of course the numerous temples and church buildings visible from the highway.
We had a great time, Claudia had the kids picking strawberries and raspberries in the garden. Identifying fruits and plants, swinging "too high" on the swing set, and of course seeing lot's of family.

Claudia's sister Caroline making Root beer from scratch, delish! Claudia gave a sweet talk of her parents and times growing up.
We had tasty BBQ and potluck salads.
Josh also made some local salmon to represent where they're from.
