Hatch Family Reunion at Bear Lake: Day 1

We knew from the pictures the cabin mom and dad had rented at Bear Lake was going to be epic but oh boy, were we still gleefully surprised when we pulled up and walked in....spectacular! Austin said, "I could get used to this." 
Day 1 began with an arrival from the crew and dinner at 6pm. We were excited to have cousin Zac Wallin and his family join us too. The kids were drawn to the ball pit, the video games, but mostly the swimming pool. After dinner, the cousins swam and then we had a devotional from Grandpa Hatch. It felt amazing to be together as a family. With siblings spread out across the western states, it is becoming harder and harder to come together. But we did. And the next few days would deepen our love and commitment to each other.

Lindsay Family Cousins' Birthday Celebrations!

 A few days after coming from St. George, we spent an evening celebrating Taylor, Jaxson, Austin, Carson, Kiana, Tiana, and Lilly's birthdays! Brittney was there with her new son, sweet baby Holt. He was the sweetest baby--I wanted to take him home with me! It was wonderful having Grandma Barbie and Poppie there too. Love our family-

Celebrating the 4th of July in St. George!

 What did we do this 4th of July?

We were at the pool for 6.5 hours! Dave rented a cabana for the day at the Bloomington Country Club Pool for our final hurrah in St George! We ate lunch at the pool, ate pizza at the condo and then finished off the night at Freppes before driving up Dixie Mountain for fireworks with a view. It was a new experience on Independence Day for our family but with the ones we love the most. Missed Jaxson who had to work the next morning in Utah County.
