Saturday was another highlight of our vacation, attending the Thomas Family Reunion. The boys started early in the morning with golf. Aaron was very excited to go to a real golf course and he and Paul, Matt and Abe had a 6:30am tee time. It was gorgeous weather and they had a great time. Once they got home, Grammy and the boys and I attended their “Neighborhood Breakfast” at the church. There was good food and Paul got to see lots of people from his ward and neighborhood he hadn’t seen in a long time.
Then we drove out to a park in Sandy for the Family Reunion. Several of Paul’s Aunts and Uncles and Cousins with their families were able to attend and it was great seeing everyone again. We really wish we were able to attend every year. Everyone brought good food and we spent a couple hours sitting around talking and eating before we utilized the local swimming pool. Christian had no fear and loved jumping in the pool, while Aaron enjoyed the waterslide repeatedly.

Once we went home and cleaned up we dropped the kids off with their cousins (with Kate as babysitter!) and the family attended a session at the Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple. Having never been to this temple before we were impressed with it’s beauty, and especially how when we were finished and walked outside again we saw a beautiful view of the valley including 2 other temples all lit up and shining.
We grabbed a quick bite to eat at Chick-Fil-A and found ourselves visiting and laughing until after closing time.
It was a great day with family.
