We went straight from one reunion to another. After bear lake, we drove straight on down to Aspen Grove family camp in the Provo canyon for the Mures family reunion with my mom's side of the family. And it was even better than just that because the Leiningers came to AG too! It's crazy that our families get along so well that they voluntarily attend family reunions together--and that's another huge thing to be grateful for. Everyone gets along and loves seeing each other. So we had a great week with all the Myres cousins and Dane and Graham got to see all their aunts and uncles. It was really fun but also really exhausting to take care of these two the whole time... And Dane was almost overwhelmed with all the attention from dozens and dozens of Myres cousins and friends. It was a little over stimulating at times for him. But we had a great time nonetheless and I'm glad we did it. We are missing some pictures here--we blessed Graham on the Sunday we were there but I only got pictures on our nice camera instead of my phone so I'll have to post those later.
Graham and Cora got to meet--two cousins born less than two weeks apart!
Dane and auntie bee.
Dane loved the frontier village for the kids.
Another family reunion shirt for Graham!
Maddie, Zach, Dane, and lily in the swings together.
My mom and dad with their two little grand babies. Mealtimes were always a juggle with everyone taking turns helping Dane and holding a baby. Luckily we had lots of people who wanted to help!
WE LOVE UNCLE TROY!
Seriously, he's such a favorite. We have to go visit him in Denmark sometime.
Eating snow cones together.
Best day ever... Riding on the train!
I think this is just the cutest picture I have ever seen. Zach with his moustach and Dane with blue snow cone all over his face, on the train together... Could life get any better?
A very informal four generation shot with my mom, g and g Myres, and me and Graham.

Our family picture for the wall there..
And after we left Aspen grove we got to go to the airport to pick up elder dallin Murphy coming back from his mission in the Dominican Republic! So happy! We also celebrated grandpa murphy's 80th birthday, but I didn't get any pictures on my phone. And
We spent the weekend in Orem at g and g murphys' house. We wanted to go on a hike so we went to bridal veil falls.. Shortest "hike" ever. But still fun!
Dane's "funny face" he was doing all weekend.
The boys with their great grandma and great grandpa Murphy. So cute!
All the murphys! Just missing Brandon in Miami.
Great grandpa Murphy.
Saying good-bye to Kurt and Callie--to Callie for a year and a half before she leaves for her mission to Washington. We will MISS you Callie!
It was a long and exhausting and really really fun two weeks of reunions and family time. So glad we got to do all of this even with Tommy's limited time off.
