Lamoreaux Family Trip


Josh took this sweet picture of Grandpa


Tristan with Grandma Jill



Quint's parents, all of his brothers and their families, and our little family decided to meet up in Utah this summer for a reunion. We had a blast! The entire trip was dedicated to seeing family and just enjoying each other's company. We spent so much time on Danny and Emma's front porch hanging out and enjoying the nice weather. Their apartment is surrounded by big beautiful trees and grass with plenty of space for the kids to run around. The five cousins had so much fun playing with each other and entertaining us adults. :)
The second day we were there we went to a Judd family reunion honoring Grandpa Judd's 90th Birthday. It was great to see so many family members on the Judd side that we haven't seen in years, and of course to be with Grandma and Grandpa Judd on that special day. The visit with them was way to quick but we loved seeing them.
The following day we went to a Lamoreaux family reunion in Salt Lake that Grandma Jill put together. Every time we visit them it brings back sweet memories of when we lived in Utah and got to see them often. When we visit them sometimes it feels like we never left.
We're so glad that we were able to go on this fun trip! Thanks a million to Ma and Pa Lam for making it possible! :)

*small side note: I guess I never had my camera around to capture how much our boys were favoring their Uncle Sean on this trip. They both talk about him all the time and were so excited to see him in Utah! They may have smothered him a bit, but he sure is loved!



Playing at Danny and Emma's!





We couldn't wait to get there and snuggle this cute boy!



We took a walk around the BYU campus and told Tristan stories about when daddy went to school there. Tristan said he wants to go to BYU too. :)

After Grandpa's birthday party we went over to the Judd farm. The boys had fun seeing all the animals, climbing the treehouse that daddy helped build when he was 8 years old, and exploring the farm.

Waiting for the Provo Fourth of July Parade to start!




Happy Fourth of July!


Letting the kids go crazy at a splash pad near the restaurant that we ate at that night.



And to top off the trip we were caught in a crazy wind storm outside of PHX on the long drive home. It delayed our drive by an hour and it was pretty scary, but exciting too! :) These pictures were taken right before we drove into the storm... contemplating if we should turn around.

But we made it!
