Steele Reunion

July was a month of family reunions for us.  We had a Peterson reunion in Lava Hot Springs where my grandma is from, and a Steele reunion with Blake's immediate family.  Next week we're going to a Taylor reunion in good old Wayne County, Utah.

The Steele reunion was a blast.  Blake's sister and brother-in-law came in from Virgina, and we hadn't seen them for a year. We had a "stay-cation" type of reunion where we did all sorts of fun things around Utah Valley.  There was a temple trip, a hike to Timp Cave (I couldn't go because being pregnant apparently for me means you can no longer participate in normal physical activities.  This little boy is draining all my energy already), a dutch oven cookout up the canyon, a game day,  family pictures, a trip to Lagoon, and golfing! It was quite the reunion.

Laurel and I were on baby patrol since we couldn't do most of the rides.  Clearly I'm doing a great job. No picture is complete with a Steele boy making a face in there somewhere! Thanks Tom.  Usually its Luke.

Here's Laurel and Steele.  Blake's sister named her little boy Steele, how cool is that?

We had a blast. Thanks again Robert and Laurel!
