Whiting Reunion 2008

Last week we headed to Utah for our Whiting family trip!

We stayed in cabins at Brighton Ski Resort and it was SO FUN!!!

Big Cottonwood Canyon is one of my favorite places in the world. It is so beautiful up there and I have memories from my whole life doing fun things up there with family and friends :)

-

We had so much fun staying up late talking, playing 'Scene It' and 'Catch Phrase' (Teag's fave), eating great food, hiking, playing pool and ping pong, and just hanging out together!

-

We were so sad that Jonathon wasn't there! He is currently serving in Afghanistan and he was definitely missed!

We missed Kaden and Gracie (Karl's kids) and hope they can be with us next year!

-

Dallas loved being with his cousins, although he was kind of a bully to Emi and Valerie (both his age...). If either of them had a toy, he did not hesitate to walk right up to them and take it away. By the end of the trip he was pulling them down by their shirts and just looking up at me like nothing was wrong. The girls were good sports and all the cousins were so cute together!

Mom and Dad Whiting at Lake Mary - my favorite spot!

Elaine had a different craft for them every day - so fun!

Of course Teag was joking afterwards that he needs to start doing drills with the little guy

we had so much fun doing the relays!

we were laughing so hard we were nearly peeing our pants!

(or in some cases literally! oops!)

Thanks Mom and Dad W. for a great trip! We had so much fun and love every opportunity we have to be with our fun family!
