Jones Family Reunion

Few things can top spending a Summer evening in the beautiful Utah mountains. Our family enjoyed reuniting with our Jones aunts, uncles and cousins at a cabin located in secluded Hobble Creek Canyon. The peaceful setting and prime temperature provided such enjoyment for all. Nathan, Maren and Sarah each took a turn with Grandpa catching fish from a well-stocked pond. I had a wonderful time catching up with cousins! All 60+ of us gathered together for dinner on a large covered patio. Fun outdoor activities and more visiting followed our meal. As we drove home I could not help but feel such gratitude and love for my dear family, grandparents and great-grands who have blessed my life in so many ways.

Trip to Galveston Beach

On Saturday we packed up the swim gear, sand toys, lunch, and kids and headed to Galveston to enjoy a day at the beach. What made it even more special is that our cousin Amelia joined us! There was plentiful sunshine and sand at the beach. We had a great time in the waves, making sand castles, collecting shells, and relaxing under our shaded tent that Brian set up for us. We all got a nice sunburn and came home with sea shells and loads of sand in the car. This trip will definately be one of our favorite Summer of '08 memories!
