Torrey 2009

We survived another Family Reunion. Those things can be touch and go at times...but no worries, we made it thru unscathed! :)
As usual we camped down in Torrey, Utah right outside of the Capital Reef National Park. We spent 4 fun filled days getting dirty, eating too much food, and getting to know everyone even better.

Here we find Myles stuck trying to get down form a rock he had scaled. We were all busting a gut watching him try to get down.

This is a good shot of most of the gang.

Myles, Riley, and Shakierra on the "Chimney Rock" hike.

Daddy-o making another of his miraculous no-match fires. Bear Grills would have been so proud!!

The potato-sac race
The Wheel Barrel race. Notice how Joe decided to carry his wheel barrel aka Gracie.
The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

Looks like it turned out great! I want to go down there sometime, are the hikes hard? I didn't know that Heather was in a walker too....too much zumba I guess!
