Family Reunions

Ever since I was little, summertime meant that my family would pack up the car and make the 20 hour drive to Utah for the Reid and Hirschi family reunions. Now that I live in Utah I get to skip the driving part :)

Reid Reunion:

The Reid Reunion was held in Southern Utah this year. Tyler was able to take a few days off of work so we were able to go for the entire reunion. The family rented a lodge with 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms (there are LOTS of Reids) but Tyler and I decided to set up our tent outside and sleep out there. We played some games, hung out with family, and went to Zions one day--our favorite part of the reunion! We hiked Angels Landing, which wasn't an easy hike, but was well worth the beautiful view!

"I have to hike up THAT?!" Good thing Ty was there to encourage me, or else I never would have gotten up the guts!


We made it!!

Time to go back down...

As we were driving back from the family reunion we found a really cool view

Great pics!! We hiked Angel's Landing last year and I was so afraid of slipping on those tiny trails and huge drop offs! The view made it worth it though :) Sounds like you had a fun time with the family reunions.
