Paul and Carol Morgan Family Reunion

My parents had their "every other summer" family reunion. We went to Bear Lake again, but this year Rachel and Matt were in charge of organizing it. They did an awesome job. We were in a lodge by the lake. 15 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, 7 TV's, hot tub, fire pit, yard, volleyball and beach within walking distance....2 grandparents, 7 children, 6 in-laws, 1 soon to be sister-in-law, 7 grandsons, 8 granddaughters, 1 more grandchild (gender not yet determined) on the way, and loads of fun.
We spent a couple days on the beach, sun bathing, trying to keep the little ones out of the sun, making sand castles, jet skiing, swimming, eating and all that jazz.

Zander loves being outside....except when he tried to eat the sand....yuck!


And of course, little sun beauty.
All she talked about for a week and all weekend was "playing with my cousins"

Daddy bought Kya a kite, and with the wind we were experiencing this weekend, she had a blast.


Gma and Gpa Morgan with all the grandkids...so far. They are all wearing their Alaska shirts that Gma and Gpa got them from their recent cruise to....guess where, Alaska.
Gma and Gpa with the latest additions.
Carl and Zander were enjoying a movie in the theater room, sunday afternoon. Well, Carl's enjoying the movie, Zander just wanted to chew on his toes.

All the Morgan girls. We will be adding another Morgan gal (can you hardly believe it?) in September with EJ's soon-to-be wife, Ashley.
Ethan (born on the 4th of July)
Trevyn, #5 for Carrie
Zander is not feeling well...he's working on another tooth. He loves cuddling with mommy.

Aunt Jacque rocks, she was entertaining the little gals sunday evening. This is the "princess train".
She must have been telling a really great story in their little "hiding place". This Papa Bear Lodge was awesome.
We finished our weekend at a park in Logan on Monday. Played volleyball, had some lunch and of course ice cream cones.
Happy 6 months old today to Zander. Man, the time sure flies by.
