Family Reunion

My Mom and Dad and little sister just moved to Ecuador to serve a 3-year mission for our church.  The week before they left we got the whole family together to play, have fun and build memories.
We had lots of family dinners. With this group we tend to eat really well.  Good cooks in our family. :)
We got Salt Lake Connect passes, which allowed us to participate in a lot of activities together.
We loved the bird and elephant shows at the zoo.
The Natural History Museum was fabulous, and had a great view of the valley.
We picnicked at This is the Place, before moving on due to the threat of rain.
Worked on our engineering skills at The Leonardo
Went to see a 3D show at the planetarium, and spend a lot of time watching the giant marble run.  
The kids really enjoyed the Museum of Ancient Life at Thanksgiving Point.

In addition to museum play time, we got to spend time visiting Grandpa Baker.
Attended the temple (while Jared and Katie watched 15 of the grandkids)
A lot of time was spent at the new house with these kids all playing together.  They were having so much fun (which allowed the adults to hang out, talk, play games, mediate arguments...)
We had a great time.  Enjoyed being with family and building memories before saying goodbye.
So much fun having a big family.
