Family Reunion

I am really behind on my posts. We went to Panquitch a little while ago for a family reunion on Burke's side. it was so much fun to get away for a little bit and spend time with family. It was especially fun for me to get to know a little more about the people I met for the first time at out wedding. They are so fun and I learned a lot about Panguitch and what there is to do there:).

We got to tend Sophie while Cleola and Charles went out (K.C. and Mary's daughter). She is so cute and such a great baby!
In the morning there was the festival of hot air balloons. It was really early in the morning but we decided to go down to it anyways. On the way down Burke said that he was thinking all morning that it would be cool if we got down there and ended up being able to ride in one. We were standing around and a lady asked us if we wanted to help someone set up their balloon. Of course we did and so we sent over to one and actually ended up getting to ride in one!!! Can you believe it? It was so fun to experience that and it was something we have both wanted to do and can now mark it off our list of things we want to do. however, we didn't get to ride in it together but that is okay.
I love going horse back riding and when we were at the ranch Burke's cousin Troy brought all his horses up. He was so nice and let us ride them for awhile. We rode them up in the fields and through little rivers.It was a blast and another thing we have never done together! I have to say that I was extremely sore for the next couple of days.
The project at the ranch for this reunion was to build on a room for a washer and dryer. Burke, Ben and Charles worked really hard all day and got a lot accomplished. Burke also was able to do a couple of appointments for his work so I was able to see exactly what he did for his job. At the end of the day we went to the Glow, which is where all the hot air balloons are lined up on center street and lit up.
The Weekend went really fast but we were so glad that we went to see the family and do things that we have never done before!! Thanks everyone!!
