Jewkes Family Reunion

On monday we drove south to Brian Head, where Josh' immediate family had arranged for a very large and practical vacation home for sucha large family. From Brian Head we went to the Cedar Break for a hike, we went for some biking and swimming to Navajo Lake, which was amazing. The girls had a wonderful time with all their cousins fishing, splashing and swimming in the fairly cold water. I really love swimming in lakes, so I brought my swim goggles, but forgot my swimsuit. After realizing that the kids had some crazy uncles that decided to swim in their shorts and without shorts, I figured they may just as well have a crazy aunt and decided to swim in my clothes. It felt so good (besides the clothes ofcourse). We also went to bryce Canyone, where we hiked all the way to the bottom and back up with the girls, Jonkje, Josh, his dad, and Jacob his brother. It was a beautiful hike, and the girls must have thought so too, as they didn't complain at all, even though it was pretty long. We ended up going to Zion National Park for a beautiful riverwalk incl. a walk in the river, which the girls loved as well. We sure like this area with all of its beauty.

It looks like you had a wonderful time in Utah, enjoying all of the beautiful areas! We sure did love seeing you and your cute kids. And it was fun to catch up. I just wish I were feeling 100% so that we really could have had more time together.
