Family Time

Jake's parents bought a new home in Lehi and the whole family stayed there for the weekend..Memorial Weekend. Today we had family pictures. I found out but didn't realize that this reunion was the first time in 7 years that everyone was here together. There were times when two of the boys were on missions, Ned and Kerstin were living too far away (Connecticut) so now everyone was here.

We later went to a place called Thanksgiving Point where we walked around, looked at a dinosaur museum, saw small "hidden" waterfalls, and the little kids went to a petting zoo.

Jake and I later were looking around his parent's house for a place to go hiking since there were so many large hills right next door. Unfortunately, there were all kinds of signs saying no trespassing/hiking/bike riding, etc. While driving around we found this little place on top of one hill that people flew their model planes and where people actually rode in their own. I don't remember what it's called. I want to say paragliding but with motors and parachutes. It was a very windy day so all we saw were the model airplanes. They didn't even have to use motors because the wind was so strong.

This is the hill overlooking the many houses, I think my in-laws are down there somewhere

We had a lot of fun and were sad that it was such a short weekend. Work comes all to fast for Jake on Tuesday.
