Frost Family Faces

Showing just how cloudy it was...

Ariana...She refused to get in the water, refused to even get near the water, and wouldn't even get down and walk on the sand...this is where she spent most of her time there, on a lap, or in a chair.  

 Ella and Ethan of course had a ball... water and sand, ya can't beat that!

 Charles helping some cousins build a sandcastle...

And Ethan and Ella filling the "lake" so it was a lake side castle


 Cheeeeeese!  and I love sand!

What!?! playing games at an Arnell reunion!  Ridiculous! 

Playing after the Lake...

 Ariana loves to swing now!





And there was this merry-go-round that was pretty much going the whole time we were there...


 Jaci just coming off the slide!  and Derek, doing something with a stick...



Day 3:
We camped at the Paris Rodeo Grounds.  There was a completely fenced in park area with grass, big pavilion, flushing toilets.  It was a great idea.  And the kids had a ball.  They would eat, then go play, come back and eat then go play again.  We didn't have to entertain them at all!

 Family Rodeo

Uncle Merrit, who was in charge of the reunion this year, had planned to actually have some real livestock there for a, more or less, real rodeo.  But, all the livestock was down at the fair, which was happening the same weekend, so we made do with each other....


The kids lining up to "ride" the broom...

 Ethan and bubbles, just one more good thing about this rodeo!

I loved Merrit's ideas!  Instead having sheep to try and rope...he had the dads try and rope their kids!  The kids started about 6 feet in front of the dads, the dads had to "ride" a broom and use a hoola-hoop to catch their kids...


This is my cousin Jeremy trying to rope his son Easton...

 Dan is going to "help" Ethan beat daddy!...

 Dan basically carried Ethan along...

 another cousin, James, chasing his son Keaton
 And Dan "helping" Ella...
 Dan never got one of his kids...Here he's chasing Gavin...

 Kids and dirt...how fun!


now it was the adults turn.  I was nursing Elizabeth during the adult one...but Dan was kind enough to get a picture of Charles chasing me...I won!


The family in the stands...
We all laughed so hard!  It was so much fun!

Then, to top it all off, there was a pinata...




Derick taking a swing...

 Ella had a turn...





Even Ariana got in on the action... and she got a good hit in too...

 Ethan was old enough he had to be blind-folded...




 The other kids waiting patiently for their turn...

Then, we went to Bear Lake again...
This time it was sunny and gorgeous the whole time...

 and look who STILL wouldn't get near the water, or even walk on the sand...

 Because Bear Lake was starting to go down, it left these little "tide pools" and the kids loved them!

 helping my cousin Chris build another sand castle...

 Love Derek's smile!

 CHEEEESE!  Ethan had so much fun!


 Jaci making some cool patterns in the sand...

 Our beach territory...

Day 4
Church and a tour of the Paris Tabernacle...
My mom's cousin, Maxine and her husband are on a mission and in charge of tours of the Paris tabernacle.  So, we got a private tour...

 Pretty Girl!
There was a man giving a concert on the organ.  Ethan and Ella went up into the choir stands, and plopped down right next to him, and he was so kind and let them play the organ!




 A view from the choir seats...

 Isn't that just the cutest thing!

As we were walking toward the other end of the tabernacle, he started playing Phantom of the Opera!  It was so cool!


 Look at this ceiling!

 A view from the opposite end...

Everything was ornamented...even the door hinges!

 Outside looking up...
The whole family (this is only maybe an 1/8 of the whole family) but that's who came on the tour...

Thanks Merrit for an Awesome Reunion!
