We made the 10 hour trek to the Griffin Reunion this year. We had a lot of fun catching up with family that we hadn't seen in quite some time. There wasn't any newlyweds this time around, instead most of the cousins were chasing there little ones around. We had some awesome food and had front row seats at the firework show in town. Ami OOWED and AWED at the fireworks. She let us know what colors they were.
The craziest thing of all is in the little town of Escalante on the Saturday around Pioneer Day they shoot off canons or fireworks at six in the morning!! I didn't know this until my sleep was disrupted. I thought it was somebody stomping down the stairs, but it went on for quite some time. Later that morning Scott laughed at me and told me what it was. Supposedly they also have a band that goes around town playing, but fortunately I did have the hearing pleasure of that. I felt like I was in "Sweet Home Alabama" when the crazy guy is in the back yard lighting off a canon.
We shipped Ami off to Grama, so now is time for a little R&R and one on one time with Eli, the cutest boy ever.
