Nell Family!: November 2015

Saturday

Latricia's baby shower

We were flying out Saturday afternoon. That morning me and the girls went to a baby shower for Latricia. We are all so excited for her baby boy to join our family.

While in Salt Lake we always have to make a special visit to Aunt Barbara. She is the kindest most gracious person! We all just love her. The kids always get as much ice cream as they want and they love that!!

Saying Goodbye

Grandma Elder drove us all down to SLC where we were spending our last two days. It's always so hard to say goodbye to her. We all love having her around!!

Tuesday

Our last night

With this being our last night at the cabin and kind of a crummy day we just hung out! We watched movies and blew bubbles. Really trying to keep all the kids entertained!!

we also celebrated Andrews 2nd birthday! He had the cutest minion cake!

The next morning we cleaned and packed and everybody started heading their separate ways. Benjee and Rachel flew out early in the morning. James and I drove back to Logan to help my parents get Bear Lake reunion put away then my mom drove us back to SLC where we spent our last two day! The reunion was so fun! I loved every min of it!

Minnetonka Cave

Wednesday was kind of a cloudy rainy day so we had planned on going to the Minnetonka cave. We had to wait about 30 min before our tour started so we sat under the makeshift tents to keep us dry!

At the opening of the cave!

We climbed up and down a ton of stairs. It was all very interesting but after awhile I think every kid that was 3 and under stopped thinking it was cool! But we still had fun!

Monday

Family Pictures

Here was our first attempt by the water. it was so windy. Its hard to tell but look hard, all the girls hair is blowing and some of the kids are making funny faces. so we moved up by the cabin. Still a really pretty view but we were sad not be able to be at the waters edge.

The whole gang -27 of us!

The Stoddards

The Elders

The Rhodes

The Barrus'

(Chase wasn't able to be here so Kyron stood in his place for a picture or two!)

My Mom and Dad!

It was such a fun week at Bear Lake. I am glad we were all able to make it!

Thanks to my parents for making it happen!

Family picture shenanigans

Since all of us were together my mom decided to get family pictures. It had been about 5 years since our last one! Here are some snaps of all of us during the pictures. Trying to keep entertained and smiling. We started out down by the beach but it was so windy we had to move destinations. I still think they turned out good.
