Family Reunion in Hurricane

We had so much fun this year at the Spendlove Family Reunion. It was held over Memorial Day Weekend in Hurricane, Utah. It was nice to have the whole family together and to get to know some of Josh's cousins that we don't see very often.


The Gubler Family - May 2009

On Sunday Randy & Janise's Family, Ryan & Diane's Family, and Josh and I all went to a place called Sheeps Bridge. It has the Virgin River running right through the middle of it. We had fun hiking and the kids and the boys had fun swimming in the river. None of them had swimming suits but it didn't seem to matter, we're definitly going to have to make it back there on our next trip to Southern Utah.


Josh had a great time just floating down the river. It was shallow in most parts but there were a few areas where he couldn't touch the ground.


Ryan helped the kids catch some frogs a few times. He was planning to bring some home in a pop bottle but while Josh and Ryan were out getting rocks for the yard, Diane and I were at the motel and we thought one had gotten out. So I thought we would put the frogs outside the door and then when Ryan came home he could do the frog sitting. Well, either the wind blew them away or the housekeeping people threw them away; but when we opened the door they were gone. Let's hope they made it back to their little homes.


Josh played Ultimate Frizbee with some of his brothers and cousins while me and the girls watched from the shade on the sideline.


The Fabulous Super 8 Motel we stayed at had a pool so the kids all spent time swimming.


Josh and I spent some time with his Grandma Gubler. It was nice to spend the night and be able to help his Dad out with the yard and the chores. Plus, we got some fantastic home grown fruit while we were there.


So that was our trip, we had so much fun and it just reinforces the reasons why we love Southern Utah.
