This year we had our Losee Family Reunion in Moab. Justin and Steph were in charge and found an awesome cabin up in the La Salle mountains just past Moab. It was amazing and huge and fit all 30 of us into one cabin with room to spare. It was the perfect place! Here are the highlights of our week.
The long ride down tuckered our kids out. They were all asleep at one point on the drive. I'm not sure how comfortable any of these positions are but somehow they managed.
This is the cabin. When we were getting close the kids could see this cabin and a few others up ahead. They all said "I hope that big one is ours!" Turns out it was!
All the kids had such a fun time playing with cousins. The deck around the cabin went all the way around in one continuous loop. It was perfect for the kids to ride their wiggle bikes around and around. Josh also brought our hammocks and strung them up for anyone to relax in. And dad and Justin both brought their rangers so those were a constant source of entertainment!
I went for a run each morning and loved seeing the views in the distance. Since we were in the mountains the weather was perfect. Not too hot even though it was the middle of July. Dad also brought their electric bikes and I went on a ride with both the girls. So fun!
This was one of the art projects the kids worked on during the week. They split into groups and traced one of the kids on these huge sheets of paper. Then they each took turns coloring in one part of the body and making the paper person have a portion of each of the kids in the group. It was really cute and such a fun idea. They presented each of their drawings to Grammie and Papa to have and remember all their grandkids.
Not too far from our cabin was a small pond. We drove the rangers down there every day to swim and canoe. It was such a beautiful secluded little spot. At one point we all got into a big water fight and I think everyone ended up in the water, clothes on and everything!
We had a birthday party one night and celebrated all the July and August birthdays. Poor Beck fell asleep at the table before he could even eat his cake! Too many late nights and long days of playing.
We played in the hot tub. One day it poured and we all gathered in as a big group and stayed warmd!
And one morning we drove down to Moab and took a hike through Arches National Park. I will admit, this was not my favorite part. It was cool to see the monuments but by the time we got there, made it through the carloads of people and actually went on the hike, it was so so hot and I was not happy to drag all my kids out of the car into the heat. But we made it on our 1 mile hike and then back without any major issues!
Most of all we just loved being together with family and making memories that our kids will always remember! On the way home we ended up with this handsome bunch of boys in our van. They are all so close in age that they have a blast when they're together! Thanks for the fun reunion!
