Sommerfeldt Reunion

In June we drove to Colorado and visited the Waite's for a few days before going to the Sommerfeldt reunion in Park City, Utah.
We stayed in some condos in Park City for nearly a week. Scott and Lisa had chosen the housing arrangements and planned the events for the trip. It was a reunion for the Theron and Delores Sommerfeldt family so many of Bruce's cousins, aunts, and uncles were there. Some of our activities included swimming in the condo pool, hiking, watching fireworks, stand up paddle boarding, and game in the condos.
On the 4th of July we went watched the fireworks in Park City.

Uncle Ben bought glow sticks and shared them with all the kids. Hailey loved her glow bracelet and necklace.

To commemorate the gathering, we took family pictures. Grandma Lisa bought all the grand-girls matching dresses.

One day we went hiking. Hailey hike nearly the whole time, McKayla was carried nearly the whole time. And the view was pleasant.

Hailey loved spending time with her cousins during free time and the hike.

At the bottom on the mountain was a ski lift. The kids rested on it while they waited for everyone else to get down the mountain.

One afternoon we rented stand up paddle boards and went to Jordanelle State Park.

We had four boards and took turns. One game we played was "chicken." Where you try to tip or push other people off their boards.

Everyone enjoyed the paddle boards. Even Hailey and some of the other kids rode with an adult on the board. It was much easier on your knees.

Some of the extended family joined us at the lake and everyone enjoyed swimming and relaxing on the beach.


Sunday morning we got ready for church and attended a ward in Park City.

And after a fun trip, the McKayla relaxed, played iPad, and watched movies during the long drive home.

Hailey also played with toys, the iPad and Kindle, and watched movies, but when they got boring, the best option was sleep.
