The beginning of July we headed up to Utah for the Dahl family reunion. I love spending time with the Dahls, and I think it's so cute how every one of them look forward to this! It was a blast. And, naturally, I took pictures explaining our adventure.
We caravan-ed up there. We started out with a nice. huge. orange juice. Potty breaks were a must!We jammed out and talked, it was fun for Aaron and I, we always love a GREAT road trip. With beef jerky involved.
That night after dinner all the ladies got together and did a "favorite things" gift exchange. It was way fun. You brought your favorite things and it was done white elephant style. I got crackle nail polish, Ash got recipes and salad dressing, Rhea got...make up???
Heidi, Lori and Chloe showing off their awesome gifts.
Heather, Lexi and Emily hangin out.
Natalie and I. She got yummy jam and a cake mix.
Emilee got a fask mask. And put it on! This girl cracks me up.
Ash made Paula the cutest little gift. We all love life when Paula is around!
Speaking of loving life, I love this baby more than life itself!The next day was the 4th of July. We had a great breakfast and lounged around!
Everyone was sleeping. It was great!
Everyone was sleeping. It was great!Later that day some people went paint balling. I skipped out. Aaron with a gun and me not on his side? Get real. He can be mean.
After paintball we went zip lining. Blast.

Perfection baby!

That night Tanner, Heather, Rhea, Sam, Aaron and I headed to go watch the fireworks. I have NEVER EVER in my whole life been that close. We practically had them falling down on us. I was thinking, "I hope I don't catch on fire, my mom would be so mad at me...."
The gang.
The parentals.It was so fun! Nothing will ever top that! and my pyro-loving husband was in heaven!
That next day we went golfing.
And it was Emily's brithday!
Rhea getting ready to do some major golfing.
Tanner. Might I add him and Matthew were extremely patient with me because I don't golf. As in I'm horrible.
I'm so glad Aaron took a picture of it.But to Aaron's amazement, I did pretty well. Maybe a new hobby? We'll see.
