Hughes Reunion

Living with my parents was a really busy time, but a fun one! We did so much all the time I can hardly keep track of it all! One of our favorite things to do for my dad's birthday is go camping! He absolutely loves it, and he loves having us all there especially the grandkids. So this year was no different! We went camping! We decided that we were just going to make it a tradition every year and make it a family reunion the weekend of dad's birthday! Im so excited, cuz we don't have anything set up like this yet, so I think it will be fun. And everyone else was excited about it too!
The kids always get SUPER dirty in the canyon, but we never care! We figure its time to let them run free and do whatever! We have clothes just for this so it won't matter how dirty they get them! Plus its a nice break for us :)
And of course a camping trip without dad wouldn't be complete without his horses! Dad always knows a good trail to take us on, and the kids absolutely LOVE it!

 Aunt Chelsie came up for a night. The kids are always excited to see her!
 Cousins!! They love playing together. This particular hole was started by the dog trying to find some gofer or something. The kids just had to join in!
 Koy was a good boy to just hang out in the travel bed! Did I mention he is the BEST baby EVER!
Me and the kids on Sampson going for a ride

 Like I said...a camping trip isn't complete without a good trail ride with Grandpa!!

 Yes yes...that is Luke...on a horse... :) jk, he is a good sport about going on them too, Glock and all :)
 Grandpa loves his grandkids! I wish I had one with Kael in it too, but he was off somewhere. It makes him so happy to have all his grandkids there! (minus lily) especially in the mountains!
 So whenever I tell Kolten to say cheese, he, for some reason, has to throw his head back! I have a billion pictures of his head back like this!
                                                                     COUSINS!!
and when he is done smiling at you...he does this face. its his pouty face...silly boy.

                                 Eating Smore's. Bridgette taught us our new favorite way to eat smores...with reeses :)

 Like I said, we really don't mind how dirty they get, cuz in the canyon...you are destined to get REALLY dirty :)

                                                     once again, the pouty lips

Grandma Great Smith came up for a day and brought my cousins to play! Her favorite part is sticking her feet in the creek! Britlyn and Kael found this huge tree that they turned into their club house. It was a pretty cool place. This is them all sitting under that tree in the "clubhouse" by the creek!

We had such a fun time as always. Grandpa knows how to throw a good camping party. We are excited to make it a tradition and go back next year :)
