Huff Family Reunion

At the beginning of August, we went up to Star Valley for the Huff family reunion. We got to stay at an awesome ranch where we were super comfortable and got to do lots of fun stuff & eat lots of yummy food. And by comfortable I mean Matthew & I both wish we could sleep on that bed with those pillows every night. It was fun. We even had a middle of the night party at the Star Valley Medical Center ER. Elaine was the host of that party after falling off a horse earlier that day- I'm not really sure she enjoyed her own party as much as the rest of us did and the location probably was a little pricey for the area but what can you do, it was her party.

What a nice bunch. I am lucky to be counted a part of.

Riding 4-wheelers. A few of us went on this awesome ride up & down a mountain and through a couple streams/rivers that was so beautiful and a little scary. It rocked.

Waiting to ride the horses.

Ava wasn't to sure about getting on the horse but after just a minute liked it. And thanks to the good leading skills of Shawn, we had a good ride.

Matthew showing of his horseriding skills.

Owen was not going to ride any horses at first but then got brave enough to try it and by looking at that face, loved it.

Cute little cowgirl.

Amanda liked it too!

Ava & Aunt Kelly having fun.

Olivia & Owen finding bugs.

Daniel searched high & low to find Owen a bug that wasn't so 'sleepy' as the first one he found.

What a cute girl!

Amanda & Owen in the fort.

These two escaped together and this is where we found them.

Hooray for fair food before the rodeo.

David & Patrese enjoying the rodeo. After, Holly & Patrese rode back with us and if I remember right, Holly was so impressed after watching her first rodeo, she wants to start one in Pennsylvania :).

We love watching a rodeo.

More Fun with Family-

One night we went up to the Preston parade & carnival. It was great fun.

24th of July!

We love the parade that comes in front of our house and have decided that the next house we buy might need to have a little parade come in front of it cause it's awesome. We also love when people come to watch it with us.

Hooray for parades in front of our cute house!

Cute JoAnna, Ava & Eliza peeking from behind.

Truman & Owen

Is it coming yet?

Owen's far away Grandma & Grandpa & his close Grandma & Grandpa. That's how Owen describes which is which. It's pretty funny cause his far away grandparents live just a few blocks away :).

Hooray for candy.

More Hanging Out & Willow Flats

Everyone loves reading books with Grandma.

And tractor rides with Grandpa.

We had a fun hike up Willow Flats-

Just can't wait to check out the water- Brrr!

Ava loves her baby cousin Elliot!

We felt safe with Chad cause he's a Dare Graduate you know.

It is such a beautiful place and the water's so cold to drink coming right out of the mountain. Here's some more great pictures- Emily Ann's Blog

Man, I am soooo behind. Here's my first attempt to record some of the fun we've been having this summer.

A fun walk at Second Dam-

Another trip to the river-

Doesn't get better than this!

Owen excited to float the river.


Floating the river- Owen liked it but Ava wasn't a big fan until the end.
