Thornton Family Reunion 2008



This July we had our Thornton family reunion here in Utah. Friday night we had a barbecue at our house and the kids had fun roasting marshmallows and playing in our bounce house. That night all the cousins stayed the night in tents in our back yard. I think they had fun but it was hot so I don't know how much sleep they got. The next day we all met at Mike's house and had breakfast. The kids had fun playing in Mike's fountain. Even Sydnie thought it was great. Later we all headed up to Seven Peaks water park. Kaylee especially liked the lazy river. And we even managed to get the girls to go down the big slides a few times.

Trip to Yellowstone



This July we invited our friends the Moultons to spend the weekend up at Shaun's parents cabin up in Island Park, Idaho. We had a lot of fun riding four wheelers that Nancy and Heath Jackson Brought up. We also had a nice day for playing in the water at Island Park Reservoir. The Next day we got up early and spent the whole day in Yellowstone National Park. We were really lucky to come at a time when almost all of the geysers were erupting. We seemed to time everything just right and come when they were just erupting. Except for Old faithful. We missed that by a few minutes and spent over an hour waiting for the next eruption. The falls were beautiful as usual but some of the best look out spots were under construction.
