Family Fun Part 2

On Thursday we headed to Fruitland to stay at Camelot Resort with all the Dickersons (minus Dan and Laura) and Wings.

The property was amazing. The house, not the greatest. I think we were all expected a little better house, but for the price, it was fine. You pay for the property.

The reunion was full of swinging.

eating

climbing (or being a tiger as Finn calls it)

biking
enjoying the beauty of Utah
And of course enjoying being together as a family.

Highlights and Lowlights (and things to remember):

• Jake using the rope swing to propel himself into a freezing river and then screaming like a little girl
  
• Finn falling into the smaller river and climbing out by himself, soaking wet, and then wanting to get back in
• My bike pedal falling off, mid ride
• Mouse on Marc's face
• Kickball (with only a few minor injuries)
• Food - hamburgers, hotdogs and ribs
• Cohen waking up dry (and Jake!)
• Some people not getting hot water, but I did, that is all that matters
• Finn learning to love trees, must be in his blood
• Forcing everyone to finish a game of Trivial Pursuit
• Mountain Dew, Airborne and Emergen-C
• Other lawn games, including frisbee golf & horseshoe
• Finn thinking pinecones are poop
• Me not taking enough pictures
  

I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff, so family, please comment.
We are glad it's over, but glad it happened. It was a great few days getting to know everyone!

Disneyland

While in California we went to Disneyland. Finn and Ben's first time and my first time since I was probably 14.

First ride we went on was the Jungle Cruise. Finn was pretty nervous especially when the Piranha's jumped out of the water. He was on the verge of crying at any minute. But still loved the animals.

Second up was Pirates of the Caribbean. Finn was still a little nervous and cried a bit when he got wet. But mostly just relaxed and enjoyed the ride.

Didn't see the sign, "No flash photography" until we got out.


Flying through London with Peter Pan.

We almost got Christina to throw up. Sad that the little kids liked going faster than us.

Playing in the Tarzan Treehouse and wishing it was still the Swiss Family Robinson's house.




The Brother Bear camp was probably our favorite place to play.




"Don't take a picture"




Not wanting to go down the stairs.
Finn was TERRIFIED of the bear. He just stared at him backing away slowly. Even as we were walking away, he was looking back making sure he wasn't following us. Yara loved him.




Probably the most boring ride in California Adventure. Not sure what it was called, something Bugs Life or Heimlich, but Finn enjoyed the bugs. He kept saying "bug, eewww gross".




Yara met some friends who loved her while waiting to give our tickets back to our lady. Seriously, we figured out the best way to go to Disneyland cheap. If you ever want to know, ask.While Finn slept in his fancy new stroller.
I thought for sure Finn would be asleep the whole way back to Christina's in the car. But he was as happy as ever. And cold apparently, look at those cheeks!

Quick Snowmobiling Trip

Ben and Adam got in a little snowmobiling. Not much snow left in Escalante, but if you drive up a bit towards Barker Reservoir, you can find enough. Finn was not a fan of the snowmobile, but he did get on after we turned it off.


Waiting for daddy to return.
