What do you get when you put 9 Greenwells, 6 Merkleys, & 6 Beazers together in one house in Erda, Utah? The Greenbezerkleywell Reunion of course! Mix in activities, games, food, limited sleep, warm weather and you get a whole lotta crazy goin' on!
July 1st and we hit the road bound for the reunion. We didn't get very far very fast though. It took us about 7 1/2 hours to drive the 3 1/2 hours to Reno. Everyone had the same idea we did, get outta town. Therefore we stopped to rest and gear up for the remainder of the drive.
Funny thing was, you couldn't distinguish between the baby goat's cry for his mama and Jonah's!!! Maaaaaaa! Maaaaaaa! Jonah was not a fan of the goats that night. After the goats we went on a walk through the neighborhood to see the animals. We saw chickens, turkeys, peacocks, horses, goats, lambs, llamas, dogs, a cat or two and a few of the locals!
See, the craziness is taking effect!!!
Lauren was preparing herself for one of the times we went swimming. When we went to the indoor pool Todd, Jennifer and Alexis went over to do the diving boards. When the rest of us saw, we headed right over. I said to Lauren, let's go off the highest one (she's never even been off a diving board before) and up and off she went in a flash. She was the first one off the high dive that day and didn't bat an eyelash!
Dallin also has a special bond with his Uncle Brad.
We made it up and down Timp and to the end of the week!!! What a great reunion!

The week was full of adventure! Sunday night we got to go next door to visit the neighbor boy's 4H animals!

This is a small amount of the loot from the Tooele 4th of July parade. I'm not sure who had more fun the kids, or the adults. We were a noisy bunch to say the least.
Then we rented out the cousin's gymnastics studio for a few hours one afternoon. Hey, Hey, we're the Monkey's, people say we monkey around.........
Dallin got dizzy, Jonah was very Zen and they all had a BLAST!!!

A hike up to Timp Cave was in order.......
Dallin and Lauren love all their cousins, but they have a very special place in their hearts for cousin Derek. He is an amazing and patient :-) cousin.
Dallin also has a special bond with his Uncle Brad.
