I'm so slow at posting! Last weekend we had the McBee Family Reunion. We had a fun two days spending time and talking with Paul's family. Friday we took off work and went up to Heber to ride the Heber Creeper. Luckily we got seats on a car that was mostly outside with a canopy so we got a good breeze. It was 3 hours! 1 1/2 hours to Vivian Park in Provo and then 1 1/2 hours back to Heber. It was fun to watch the neices and nephews and their facination. We drove alongside Deer Creek Reservoir and people on their boats waved as we passed. That was kind of fun. I had missed riding on trains, since I did it almost everyday in Germany. It brought back some good memories.
After the ride we drove the Alpine Loop which starts in Provo Canyon and goes to the American Fork Canyon. We stopped about half way at Cascade Springs. It's a park with lots of little water falls and water with fish. The kids were again facinated with it. I could tell how out of shape I am as we walked and how out of breath I got. Paul was teasing, luckily there was a water fountain!
After that we met up for dinner at Golden Corral (spelling?). Some more family members met us for dinner that weren't able to be there for the day activities. I really just had a nice time getting to know the family more. They don't get together all that often and this gave us a whole 2 days to spend with them. I was ready for bed that night for sure!
Saturday morning we just relaxed. Some of the family members met in Provo for the parade. We drove up to Paul's brother Bill's cabin in the afternoon. It is up there too! It is past Park City but it was a nice drive. We got to hang out and chat, take turns riding 4 wheelers (let me tell you, I was in love with it!), and play some horse shoes. We had some burgers and salad and other yummy things for dinner. After that we just headed home. I think some of the family went to Bill and Melanie's later that night for fireworks, but we were so exhausted that we decided to head home and went to bed at 8:30! How lame are we?! But it was nice to get some sleep. All in all, it was a great weekend. I will add some pictures later when I finally take them off my camera!
