Olsen Family Reunion 2011

The last weekend in July we went to spend the weekend at a condo in Brian Head with my family. It was such a fun and relaxing get-a-way; we had a hot tub on our deck, does it get any better than that? We had lots of amazing food: fried bananas, grilled corn, stuffed peppers, homemade super chocolate gelato, homemade dole whip ice cream, lasagna, grilled pineapple, and so much more. I think we all came back super stuffed and ready to eat very healthy.


A view of our condo. It was such a beautiful area, I loved that we could just walk out our front door and go on little hikes with Tucker.



Tucker was spoiled as always by having lots of people around to read books with him and play with him.



The first day we were we went on a little hike to some waterfalls, I can't remember the name. Our hike was cut a little short by some rain, but we made it back to the car just in time before it really started pouring.












When we weren't hiking we spent the rest of the time just hanging out in the nice condo. The couch was huge and comfy and Tucker loved making forts.




A lot of time was spent in the hot tub. Some day I most definitely want a hot tub on my deck with an awesome view.



The next day we did a hike called twisted pines or something like that. It was pretty late when we decided to go on the hike, so Tucker was too tired to hike and wanted to ride in our backpack and we just carried Halle.













Tucker always loves to just sit and look at pictures with people.



Sheldon and my brother Terrell had the chance to rent bikes and spend the day riding the lifts and biking down the trails. Sheldon had a lot of fun, except for his crash where he landed in a bush and got little thorns all in his arm.






It was such a fun trip I think we all thought about buying a condo! Thanks to my parents for planning it, thanks to my brother and his awesome nice pictures he took with his new camera and also other cute pictures from my dad's camera. I'm glad I'm only about 2 months behind posting about it :)

More July 2011

Some more of my favorite photos from July.

Halle loves the tire swing just like Tucker. She has the craziest hair, some days I want to cut it and other days I love her two little curly cues.



Sheldon had the genius idea to put black plastic bags in the bottom of the kiddie pool. It warmed the water up to bath tub temperature and we all had fun in the pool.


Llama Festival
We decided to go to the llama festival at the Hare Krishna Temple. There were llamas and more llamas! Who knew there were so many llamas in Utah? The best part was feeding the llamas. Tucker thought their lips tickled when they would eat out of his hand.








Of course we had to get some cream slushies from Sonic after the festival to cool down. Tucker's favorite part was the whip cream.


Halle tried rice cereal for the first time a week or two ago. She's not a big fan and she still doesn't really love eating yet

Halle loves getting pulled around in Tucker's wagon. We've even taken her on a walk around the neighbor hood in the wagon. Tucker is really good at pulling her gently.


We went to a parade with Sheldon's family. We had perfect weather, not too cloudy, and front row seats. Of course Halle had to have a blowout and I forgot to pack a change of clothes, so she got to watch the parade with nothing on!
