Mckinley's Special Day...

Tuesday July 6th Scott and Brady headed home and Kacie and I went to Utah to attend the temple with Mckinley as she goes through for the first time.  It was fun for Kacie and I to get some time to visit together just the two of us.  We met Mom in Tremonton and then mom rode with Kacie and I drove her car.  It was so wonderful to be in the temple again after not being able to do for so long due to Covid.  Mckinley looked so beautiful and we are so happy for her.  I sure love her!

Proud grandmas...

Cuties...

I think this is all the family that were there for her.  There were some other ward members and friends that came too.  After we went to eat at Zupas before heading to Heber City for the night.  We had to head home the next day.  It was a fast but enjoyable visit.  I'm so glad we were able to be there for Mckinley!

Rexburg, Teton Dam, Tetons...

Friday, July 2nd we headed out to spend the weekend with Cole and Kacie.  That night we went out to eat at the Outback Steakhouse.  It was fun!  Saturday Scott and Cole shot their airguns at a dairy around there then we did some shopping in Idaho Falls.  That night we fixed dinner then once it got dark we went to Cole's store and watched some fireworks.  It was fun because we could see them from three different locations around town.  Sunday we went to church, had lunch and took a drive out to see the location of the Teton Dam that broke back in the early 70's.  It was pretty amazing to see.

It broke on the other side of this mound of dirt but they cut into this side to see if they could learn anything from what happened.

Monday the 5th Scott and Cole did some more shooting, then we went to the National Teton Park.  We got there around 4:00 and took a fairy across Jenny Lake.  We went on a beautiful hike up to a waterfall and then higher up to a look out over Jenny Lake.  It was a lot of fun!  I could do that all day long...I love hiking!

Brady took us back to all the times when he was little and used to hike ahead of us then rest on his knees.

We got back to the gift shop just before it closed.  Kacie and Brady both got a T-shirt and Brady also wanted a book that talks about all the National Parks. It was pretty cool.  We then headed back to Victor, I think, and ate at a Mexican Restaurant which was good but really slow.  It was a fun day spending time together.

Moroni's Camp...

Brady made a deal with Bishop Schulthies that he would go to Moroni's camp one day but he didn't want to spend the night.  I was shocked when I got these pictures and the video of Brady jumping in the water.

I'm glad he had fun!

 

Family Reunion...

The Schulthies/McCune family reunion was June 23rd and ended the 26th.  It was held at the Albion Campus Retreat.  Mom went with Teniele and the boys on the 23rd and then Dad, Brady and I left Thursday morning.   

Angela and Riken making peach cobbler...I'm sad I missed that!

The Goodfellow family had breakfast burritos for everyone Thursday morning.

Brent & Elaine had Thursday lunch and brought in pizza and salad for everyone.  Uncle Brent had everyone introduce themselves before we ate which took a little while...haha!

It was fun to have Rusty there with us!

I love this picture!

After lunch we packed up and headed to Steadman's waterslide.  It is a privately owned slide on their farm.  Super nice people to let people use it!

Annie and Cassie were so sweet to get Brady to go with them!

I love these....haha!

Abigail, Olivia & Brady

The Steadman's even provided a candy cannon...The kids loved it!

For dinner Vaughn and Barbara's kids provided salad and barbecued meat.  When it got dark a bunch of us went through three different haunted houses.  The Albion Campus Retreat used to be a teaching college started back in the early 1900s.  Some family bought it super cheap and changed it into a retreat.  They remodeled the dorm where a bunch of us slept.  They also made haunted houses out of three of the buildings.  It took us about an hour and a half to go through them taking our sweet time.  I guess during Halloween it can take 2 1/2 hours to go through when 2000+ people are going through a night.  I couldn't believe how scary it was even without live probs.  Brady loved the Stranger Things room.  We had to get pictures.

Philip (Lydia's husband), Brandon, Ben, Ashley, Sierra (Ben's wife), Makayla & Lydia

This was a large creepy but cool auditorium.  It kinda reminded me of Harry Potter.

That stone creature on the stage would talk while we walked by.  

One building was all creepy clowns and even had a clown circus.

This was so fun to do with cousins!

Riken used to work at it each fall so he knew how to turn everything on for us.

I took this picture as we were walking back to the dorm.

We tried to play games but didn't it last long before we started sharing pictures and then got tired and some of us went to bed.  Friday the 25h Preston and Sheryl's family had breakfast then we got some group pictures.  We then set up some games for everyone.  I was in charge of setting up corn hole.

Haylie, Sam, Ella, Annie, Micah, Cassie & Grandma

Our family was in charge of lunch and we had sub-sandwiches, chips, salad & watermelon.  After we had the Family Great Race.  I ended up bobbing for apples against Ashley.

Dinner was provided by the Hartley family and they brought in Cafe Rio which was really yummy.  After they had a raffle and talent show.  I then showed the slideshow I made for Grandma Joan's 90th birthday.  I think it really meant a lot to her.  Saturday Rod and Launa's family had breakfast then we cleaned and packed up.  Juliene had a piñata for Grandma and the kids.

Some of us went through the museum before we left.  

It was so fun to be with so many cousins.  

Juliene sure put in a lot of work for all of us.

This is an example of the great race that she puts on during their Mendon days the week of July 24th for pioneer day.
