We had a fun trip to Utah last week for a
Braithwaite Family Reunion. The drive between Oregon and Utah gets longer and longer....we have started breaking it up with stops at random parks along the way. Our new favorite: the city park in downtown Baker City. Among other awesome old (see: unsafe) park equipment, they had these fantastic 40 foot swings. Check it out: Alex couldn't even touch the ground!
We LOVED seeing family and getting to know our nephew better. He and Edgar occasionally noticed each other and seemed interested.
Bath time was fun (=
Here, Edgar is enjoying his Great Grandma Betty's dessert. YUM! Grandma looks like she's had too much punch.
Edgar got to know his Texas cousins (second cousins to be precise). He STILL talks about Abby (She's 10. He's in love.) He still recognizes her in pictures and asks about her by name. H
ere, my cousing Andrea is playing his favorite game wi
th him: GETCHU!
Love my grandparents. Don't get to spend nearly enough time with them!
Edgar fell
IN LOVE with his "Mama Gickie" and "Papa". He followed my dad around every moment and loved to play with him.
We spent an evening with all t
he family at Deer Creek Resevoir. Ed had fun being a little too brave on the boat ramp.
This shot is post-face-first-fall into the water (= He got right back up and wanted more.
This is Edgar and Ethan, second cousins. They look a little related, huh?
We had a great time and are looking forward to spending a longer trip in Utah in a few weeks!

Two things.
I wish I'd known you were in town! Rylan loves meeting other babies.
Next, we had my whole family at that pavilion on Monday for Shaun's birthday! WE PLAYED IN THE SAME SAND! If only we could have warped time....
Hi Jen - I am way overdue. I mean... I'm not, but this is: Congrats on your expected little one! How exciting and fun to see you in the background there {it's such an appropriate wind beneath my wings shot with Edgar there front and center and you behind, you know? it's the little things.}
Anyway - your driving adventures are an inspiration. We are going to be heading out on Janie's first long haul roadtrip... I am terrified. I'll have to keep the park thing in mind. The 17 year old in the bunch might appreciate it too. He's a wild one.
See you in a few weeks!
P.S. Okay I can't leave without reminding you how insanely cute Edgar is.
There.
It was so great to see you guys - even if it was for such a short period of time. And yeah - Ethan and Edgar definitely look related. :)
