Day One of the Family Reunion

Sonya, I and the boys are in Utah this weekend for our family reunion. We just had the first day of it - well it started at about 5 or so.
Before the reunion we were able to go to the Salt Lake Temple. It was the first time we had been there together. (I had gone once 8 years ago before my mission.) Once that was done we went down to Provo and saw one of Sonyas friends from her youth. When we got back we decided to take Isaac and Gary on TRAX. It's Utahs train system around Salt Lake. It's a pretty fast train. The boys especailly Isaac loved it. He kept talking to those people around us. and he wanted to sit all by himself. He loves his independence.
The family reunion though was the high light and the reason we're here. It was great to see the family that we don't see very much. What I love is that even though I'm adopted - they don't act that way. Even though we didn't grow up around any of them or even come to visit once a year, they treat us as though were, well... Family. It's fun to watch the boys play with so many kids that are his same age. I over heard that just out of the people that will be here this weekend there will be 21 kids under the age of 8.
We did have to leave early tonight because Isaac decided that he had enough and dumped water all over mommy. Poor mommy.
It was a long day for all of us. Tomorrow will be even longer - but at least we're done traveling in the car for one day. (Saturday it's back to Walla Walla - so I hope the boys enjoy it while it lasts.)
