In June we went to Missouri for ten days for our family reunion. We originally did not think that Jeremy was going to be able to get any time off from work, so it was just me and the kids for the first few days. The kids and I flew into St. Louis, and we spent a couple of days there with Jeremy's family. It was soooo humid!! I guess I've forgotten how humid the weather can be there in the summer. We went to the St. Louis Zoo Saturday. Every time we passed a fountain or waterfall (any water feature really), the kids would get in the water every chance they could to cool off. Apparently I didn't get any pictures from the zoo, but it was a very nice zoo. Sunday was Father's Day and we went to church. Jeremy's cousin, Ben was being ordained to the office of Elder, so we got to be there for that. After church we took some family pictures (without Jeremy) and then went to Jeremy's aunt's house for some great food. Jeremy's Grandpa has a BBQ restaurant, and I love his food. After we left St. Louis, we went to Branson and stayed in a REALLY nice resort. Jeremy's sister, Jessi works for the Marriott, so we got three rooms there. Each room room had two bedrooms, a full kitchen, family room area, and even laundry room. While we were in Branson we swam at the resort nearly every day. We also went boating at the lake and went to one of the shows in town. The show was the Liverpool Legends. They were pretty good, and sounded just like the Beatles. Finally we went back to Jeremy's parents house and Jeremy got to come out. The kids had fun playing with all of their cousins. It was great to get to see Tucker and Maddi, whom we hadn't even met yet. They are so cute! Maddi had her 1st b-day while we were there too. So we had a little party for her one night. We also went to Silver Dollar City, which is this great amusement park in Branson. Mallorie even went on this huge roller coaster that goes from 0-70 in 3 seconds or something like that. I guess my girl's a lot braver than me. It was a really fun trip, and it was great to see all of the family, who we love and miss so much.

The last picture is so darn cute. That's an adorable chunky face. I'm sure it was so nice to go see all the family at one time. Such a rare occasion. I love the face painting. Yet, at first Mallorie kind of scared me. Cute swim suits too.
