Next stop was Cottonwood Heights. A large portion of the Blood Clan rented houses in the same neighborhood for a week long reunion of sorts. Mary, Jonny, Elizabeth, and the twins all made it, with Mom Blood joining us after she got stuck for a couple nights in North Carolina on her way back from Peru where she had been with Claudia's family. This trip was extra fun because we got to meet Jacob's fiance Natalie and spend more time with Joanna's fiance Rayne.
Isaac was a huge fan of Jacob's skateboard. Having a park right behind our house was very convenient. There was a shaded ramada for eating some of our meals together.
Cool kids hiking club! We found a very creepy hole in the wall near the waterfall.
It's the perfect place to hide a dead body- or have a photoshoot!
Andrew was so sweet with Annie. He held her hand for all the steep parts and was generally chivalrous. He has always been great with younger kids.
What a champ
We spent a day at a nearby rec center. There was a splashpad, some slides, and a huge cliff jumping wall! Megan persuaded me to go off it with her. She is my favorite companion for adrenaline activities that require us to pump each other up. We also got to pressure teenage Rebekah into jumping with us. Good times were had all around!
These boys were all tuckered out from their water slide adventures. A big storm came shortly after this. One of the huge shade umbrellas got picked up by the wind and smashed against the wall of the rec center.
The kids slept so well on this trip. We played hard!
