Finch Fam reunion

The reunion was held in Saint George this year. We met on Thursday at the hotel and planned out our weekend. This is how it went:
Thursday: Dinner at the Mongolian BBQ.
The workers started offering money for the kids. We insisted they were not for sale. They kept feeding the kids and made them origami. It was a really fun/crazy meal.
We had a good laugh over the fortunes we got. A lot of "Treasures".
Then it was off to Tuacahn for the Footloose play. Turns out a boy I went to school with was the lead. It was over 110 degrees and before the play started, dad laid on the grass to cool off and the babies climbed right on. They love Papa. We arrived back at the hotel around 11:30. It was a hot night and we ended up hitting the showers for a little refresher before heading to bed.
Friday: We started out in the pool. The kids had a great time. Max does NOT like to be splashed. He had a hard time enjoying the coolness of the pool.


After some coxing from Papa...Tyler, Lindsey, Curtis and I held a chicken fight. We were laughing so hard. Lindsey receintly broke her hand so we decided we should fight one handed. It was not going anywhere so Curtis got board and dumped me off.
After the pool, we ate sandwiches in the park and Papa sugested we go see the new Harry potter movie. On the way to the theater, our AC went out. 115 degrees out side and no relefe. Curtis opted out of the movie to take our car to a mechanic. They wanted $1200 to fix it. We decied to bare the heat. We put Max in my moms car so he wouldn't over heat. After that, We just hitched rides with everyone else.
That night we called in our order to Cafe Rio. We all cramed into a hotel room to eat together. It was so good, I really would have finished off my awesome salad but we had tickets to another show at Tuacahn.
Amanda babysat for us this time so Curtis and I could enjoy the show without interuption. This time we watched Annie. Bailey and Kennedy loved it...They also loved the mist at the top of the stairs.
Curtis and I decided to get an early start in the morning to escape the heat. We left at 5am and it was still 81 degrees. It was only after we reached Cedar City, we finally cooled down. Max was sweet and slept most of the way home.
After we reached Payson, Papa called to tell us the reunion is headed to Mapleton for the rest of the weekend. I'm so excited it's not over yet! We still need to play some seriouse Games.
