Reunion with the Glenn Cook Family

Poor Max.  While having his diaper changed on Tuesday, he did his "flip to get away move" and flipped right off the bed and broke his clavicle.  Then, Saturday night, to add insult to injury, he got a stomach bug.  I guess Max is learning that when it rains, it pours!  He doesn't look terribly happy, does he?

Max wasn't the only one under the weather this week.  Gunnar got pink eye, which then traveled to his brothers, and then turned into strep.  Ori was also sick with a fever, and Sara must have gotten it from her, as she missed church, and our family get together yesterday from being ill.

Until the weekend, other than Max's accident, this was a busy but uneventful week.  On Saturday, Caitlyn, Roy and I made our final drive for the season up to Flaming Gorge to winterize the trailer.

We had plans to take Adrienne's boys with us because they had a Ray, Quinney, Nebukker (spelling--sorry AJ) get away up to deer valley, but with their strep and pinkeye, Adrienne didn't think camping was a good option, so we went without them. (Grandma Green got the privilege of taking care of them).  I guess  Dad loves to entertain family because he kept saying things like, "If we had Nick and Sara here..." or, "It would be fun if Dan and his family were here," or, "We could have brought Dan's girls since we couldn't bring the boys..."  Caitlyn and I kept telling him what a good time we were having--even without the rest of the family!

The pinecones were opening up this trip.
We ate several, but some were dried out, so it would have been
a little late for harvesting.

Look at the water--perfectly smooth!  We opted for
rafting instead of boating, but this made us question
our decision.

Caitlyn still likes to be with her parents, but her friends
are starting to take precedence!

Selfie!  I don't think Roy's ever taken one before

On the raft

Rafting was fun, but we had to get our rhythm.  Roy, not having the use of his left arm, wasn't much use in rowing, but he was great at "yelling" instructions.  He said he wasn't angry, but he fooled Caitlyn and I.  We know it was just hard for him to have zero control.  The water was really high and the rapids were pretty inconsequential, but he was still worried he wouldn't make it out alive :)

Sara sent me these pics of the girls at the zoo on Wednesday.

Sunday night we had a wonderful time with Glenn and his family. Josh and his family weren't there, but we had Jed and Emily and their families and it was a great reunion.  Isla, Emily's daugther, loved being with all the cousins...she's finding out it's fun to live in Utah.  Taylor may have been a little overwhelmed by all the kinetic energy :)  Of course, Serah and Riley love cousins, too.  They have had a few opportunities to play with my grandkids.

Everyone but Riley and Serah,  They must have been busy playing!

We love all of you.  If you didn't see any pictures of your children (Crista), that means I didn't get any from you.  Videos don't count because they're too hard for me to include.
