Reunion / Moving

We went up to Idaho this past weekend for the annual (extended family) Darrington reunion. The reunion was at the Raft River water slide (no surprise there). We went up Friday afternoon, a storm was blowing through as we arrived so it delayed the fun, but we let the kids play at grandmas for a while.  Kendal and David went out to play in the sandbox before we headed to the slide. Little did i know that they were pouring scoops of sand over each others heads. We had to vigorously brush, then give them a bath with a heavy shampoo before we left. Saturday brought lots more family and loads of fun. Kendal got to play on the swings, go down the big slide, play in a kiddie pool, and best of all play with her cousins and Casey's extended families children. Casey's cousin Travis had a baby there that is a week younger than Pete. His name is TJ, he is a good sized little dude, and has hair just like Pete. We had the two boys on the floor by each other and Kendal exclaimed that they were the same. She was delighted by the fact that they were so similar. Pete got loved by a lot of family at the reunion. He had a good time except for the darn wind making it harder for him to breath and nap well. We always enjoy the reunion and seeing Casey's family. It was a fun weekend.



On another note. We are in the middle of getting ready to move. Our house is a mess of boxes and piles right now. Luckily we got about 90% packed before we went to the reunion. We will move this week to Challis, and Casey will start school next week. It's still a crazy time. Casey is not 100% sure as to his schedule of what he is teaching : O , we've never physically seen the house we're renting, and there are other little hiccups we've run into like changing our postal address on almost everything only to find out we have to wait and get a PO box when we get there.
It's going to be hard leaving Logan. I've grown up here, i have family here (it's a place that i know and love). I'm sad to leave, but grateful for the reason that we're moving.

That is one seriously wicked cool slide! That is so fun! I love the last picture with your two cute kids. She is just such a sweet sister, I can tell! Good luck with the move and all the adjustments! It will be weird not running into you randomly! Good thing we still have our blogs!
