Aleana's First Camping Trip and other fun!

 Wearing moms shoes. What an adorable smile! 

 Wearing the life jacket we borrowed for our family reunion.  She loved re-buckling the clips and did not even want to take it off for dinner. She loves buckles. 

Family Reunion 

Thursday June 5th 

 We went to the Zoo before we met up to Julee to take her down to the Reunion.  

 Drinking out of the famous lion! 

 Only glass between them an the lion.  It kept looking at Curt, we thought it would of pounce or scratch the glass.  Aleana liked it but did not want to get off Curt's lap. 

 On the way down to the reunion we stopped at the Dino Mine Adventure park we helped build and played with Aleana.  We said we would bring our kids hear one day. 

 We played a little too! 

 Friday June 6th 

 We went to some museums in Castle Dale were Curt's Sister Maegan works, The Museum of the San Rafael in Castle Dale and the Pioneer Museum.  Aleana liked pushing her stroller around.  

 We camped at the Huntington National Park next to the Lake.  It was really pretty and the cousins loved playing.  Hannah was so good to help out with Aleana. 

The kids went swing when we got back.  Aleana was napping and when she woke up I got her ready to go out.  I don't know if it was cold or if she did not want to get her feet muddy like she did that morning but she would not even get her feet wet.  Silly girl she usually loves the water.  She did love throwing rocks in the water and we had to work with her to not throw rocks at people.  she loves her "ocks"

 Aleana loved being outside and exploring.  I think she loves camping! She even slept pretty good and loved the tent.  She would fall asleep in our bed and then we would put her in her bed, when she woke up in the night we pulled her into our bed and slept until morning. she slept a lot better then we had expected.   Although she went to bed around 10:00 all three night so she was pretty tired.  

 Aleana was not a good eater and mostly wanted to play and eat snacks.  Her she is kicking back with a bag of chips :). 

 We got matching shirts for the reunion.  Here is Aleana with hers, it will fit her for a few years :) 

 Handing out shirts and chilling. 

 Saturday June 7th

 We drove out to the dessert to see some pictographs.  Here is the Daisy Chain.  

 Hannah and Aleana! 

 The girls were more interested in the rocks. 

 We also went to the wedge or little grand canyon.  

 We made lots of short stops and Aleana was not a fan of getting in and out so we took turns sitting with her in the car. 

 Dino foot print. 

 Playing in the sand

 Aleana with the flower Emmy gave her. 

Emmy and Aleana!

 She loves sides and make her own.  Here is her rock slide.  She also would slide down the rocky hill at our camp sight.   

I think camping was a success as we all had a lot of fun.  We will do it again but probably only one night at a time.  She was pretty stubborn and grumpy at times, but Hannah and grandpa would usually cheered her up. She loves her "umpa" and would call out for him whenever she saw him and loved going on walks with him.  When we would ask if she wanted to see Grampa she would get excited and say "uh!"  By Sunday morning she was super grumpy, it did not help that the wind woke her up at 6:30 and scared her so bad that we sat in the car and watched "Frozen" while Curt took down camp.  We were hoping to at least make it it Sacrament meeting but knew Aleana would not handle it.  She fell asleep when we went to get Julee from Maegans and slept till Provo.  She also slept from most of the way home from Julee's.  She was a tired little girl, I dont know what she would have been like had she not taken naps in the car both days and slept pretty well at night.  It was weird missing Church, it was little a whole weekend of Saturdays.  I woke up thinking today was Sunday, I think it will be a long week.
