Willow Flats

So I was in charge of planning my family's reunion which Luke, Brett, and, Eric all couldn't make it to. My parents, Lindsey, the boys and I made a go of it though. Our campsite was surrounded by a creek and the boys threw rocks in the water all day long. Jaxon's second favorite activity was throwing sticks in the fire. My favorite was when he threw one with pine needles in and said, "Oooh. Christmas is burning!" Grandma and Grandpa helped us roast some "marshpillows" as Jax likes to call them. We took a hike up to the waterfall, which is always beautiful. The next night we went into town to go see the parade and the rodeo. It was so hot. Ryker and Jax got pretty mad when I wouldn't let them eat all the candy right then and there. Jaxon thought it was a fun game trying to get all the candy before Ryker. Fortunately we had some thoughtful older kids next to us that kept throwing candy in front of Ryker so he got some too. The rodeo started pretty late. Ryker was a crazy wiggle worm for most of it until he turned into zombie towards the end. Jax got a little bored so we snuck out and let him ride a couple of the carnival rides until the rodeo ended. The next morning we packed up and headed back home to Luke.  We were crazy dirty and tired but it was a fun adventure.

Ryker got a little cold and ended up in bed with Grandma. He kicked Grandpa out.
