In June we went to the Williams family reunion. It was at Bear Lake this year, right around the corner from our cabin. So instead of camping we cheated and stayed at the cabin. It was nice to have a soft place to sleep. We enjoyed seeing aunts, uncles, and cousins. It is always fun to get together play volleyball and talk about old times. We learned that Dave and his cousin Jeremy used to like to eat their Grandpas pig food when they were little. (That isn't too surprising knowing Dave!) I always look forward to the Williams reunions and I am glad that everyone makes such an effort to attend.
Here is Marlie with Daves Grandma and Grandpa Williams.
Daves cousin Dirk is so cute with all of the kids and they never leave him alone. He brought his girlfriend Hailey and I think that Mason and cousin Callin are in love with her!
Maddi kept cool by playing in the Lake.
McKayla and her cousins spent a lot of time building a sand castle, then they plowed it over.
This was Marlie's first time at the beach and I think she liked it. She had fun playing in her toy that Aunt Cortnie let us borrow. She is wearing the new hat that Grandma Marlene bought for her in Mexico.
We were happy that Scott and Shay could come stay with us at the cabin. Scott and Shay are going to be proud parents of a baby girl and a baby boy in December. We are so excited for them, and we are glad that it is not us! Cortnie and her kids came and stayed for one night, but they had to leave early because Easton was sick. We were sad that we didn't get to play longer with them, but luckily they live next door so we get to see them often. Daves sister Stephaine wasn't able to attend this year and we missed seeing them.
Kayla and Maddi talked their daddy into letting them do his hair. This was the final product. He wore his hair like this all day. We were all so happy that we even got him to go to the beach all day with us. (Dave does not like the sun or the sand, so the beach is not his friend!)
Every year we are in the Deweyville parade with the Gorings! It is a 4th of July tradition for us. The entire family gets on the back of a flat bed trailer, the kids through candy and have a great time! This year they made cute hats with lamb ears on them for us to wear. (The Gorings own a sheep ranch.) 
Dave had to work during the day, but he put on a firework show for us when he got home. Natalie, Lincoln , and cousin Easton came to watch. Mary and Hudson were there,too. Poor Lincoln got a little traumatized with the noise, but he sure made us laugh with his animation!!
