Labor Day, etc.

We just got back last night from the last of the four major family reunions on my Mom's side. This one happens every Labor Day weekend down at Fish Lake. And it's the whole family from my Mom's Mom's Dad's family's side, if that makes any sense. Anyway, we got there Saturday morning to see about 30 trailers parked all around a big parking lot. We did a whole bunch of fun stuff on Saturday: a boat ride (that I fell asleep on), an auction (in which I bid and successfully won a pair of hand-knit slippers) and a really good dinner (which I really didn't each much of except a punch bag that was excellent). Then on Sunday we went to church at the Fish Lake branch. It is in a giant lodge made of giant logs. It was really neat to see a different place to have church. There wasn't any nursery, just a choir performance and then a fast and testimony meeting.

Today we went to another new dog park. This one is called Tanner Park. You pass through the park and then hike down a big trail to a creek. Misha was going crazy running up and down the creek and splashing like crazy. She even swam a little bit. I think she is liking the water more every time we go somewhere. I had fun watching all the dogs splash and play, and I got in the water a little bit, too. Not too much, 'cause it was COLD! Later, we went over to Grandma's house for pizza and cobbler. We got Pier 49 barbecue chicken pizza, which is Dad's favorite.

I was cracking everyone up by counting today. I can count from 1 to 4 all by myself: "one, oo, ee, or!" And I can follow Mom's counting all the way up to 10. Well, usually I can, sometimes I get mixed up. Like tonight when I was following Mom I counted like this: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 8, 8, 9, 10!" So I'm pretty close anyway. On the way home I was counting, and I was telling Dad when the light turned green. As soon as it changed, I would yell, "REEN! GO!" and Mom and Dad were laughing so hard. It was a pretty good. Sorry no pictures for today.
