Turner Family Reunion - July 1-4

From Movies

On the first day of July we set off for a 2 1/2 week adventure. We headed first off to Cedar City Utah where we did a short stop in St. George for a temple visit then met up with Justin's family for the Turner Family Reunion. This year Justin's dad had scheduled for us to have a couple of nights at the Southern Utah State University's cabin just up Cedar Canyon. We missed him at the reunion very much but had a great time with the family. We hiked, talked, ate, played volleyball, and played games. It was great! We were shorted a night because of some miscommunication so we just hung out in Parowan and went to the 4th of July Parade there. It is a small parade and went fast with floats, cars, horses, firetrucks, you name it. It was fun and the kids had fun catching candy.
Saturday we headed up to my families house. My poor mom was feeling under the weather with an infection that attacked her face. She had a very swollen face and had to go in every day to get antibiotics. She took good care of us anyway. We helped her get her peas all shelled and chatted and watched fireworks. My parents also had some bees make a home in their chimney so they were in the process of getting that taken care of too. We were getting dive bombed by bees while shelling them. It was very annoying. Luckily no one was hurt. Their chimney was all blocked off and a box was put on top of the chimney to capture the bees, but some how they were still able to make it in the house. It was crazy. We also were able to have Sunday dinner with most of my family. I miss them, so it was nice to see them all. We missed my sister Erin and her family. Sad for us!
