Our reunion was kind of last minute this year because there was snow in northern utah (where we originally planned the reunion) until mid June. But, with the help of the Lewis' we had a great time!
Taylor teaching Jake how to fish. He LOVES it and has the patience for it. We need to send him off with Grandpa Nadauld for some REAL lessons.
When the pond is stocked... it makes for some fun fishin'!
Richard Lewis let us Heaton's all come up one day of the Reunion to the PineValley house. We hiked in the morning and lounged around all afternoon. The horse and buggy rides were a hit.
Heather and I took some of the kids on a paddle boat ride around the pond for a little exercise.
Luke and Gavin stayed entertained playing with deer bones they found on the property.
The next day of the reunion, we all went to Panquitch to help de-horn and castrate the calves.. Kind of sad.. and gross.. and smelly.. They boys really liked it.

Below: Me helping the little boys get a look at the process.
At least we got a little horseback riding in.... in between torturing the cows.
Grandma and Nate
I was surprised how even the little boys could help. Here Jake and Colby are chasing the cows into the shoot.
Taylor tried to help in between sneezing and wheezing (he's allergic to cows and horses).
A couple pictures of just hanging out... Nate on the horse and
Nate, and Sam, and me on the 4-wheeler.
Luke, Preston, Gavin and Jake -- best of cousins out exploring on the panguich property.
Nate is pretty flexible -- he does this all the time, so I had to get a picture. My other kids were too fat to bend this way!! :)
