Julie and Claire go to Utah

Claire and I went to Utah for Brian's family reunions in July. We were so sad he couldn't come with us, but we had a great time playing with family. With cousin Rachel. We're hoping these 2 become best friends someday.
At BYU.

With Gramps and Grandma Gailey at KFC.


Claire at the pool. I really love this shot of her!


She actually liked playing with the cotton candy more than eating it. Texture over taste? She must be a Brinkerhoff :)


With one of my dearest friends, Athelia, who was also in Utah that same weekend! We're enjoying some delicious Cafe Rio...a tradition we both miss now that we don't live in Utah.


Sporting our reunion shirts.


"Are you sure this is my color Mom"?

Playing doubles badminton with Brian's sister Julie. We had a great time and did not too bad either!



With Karen and Whitney after the ropes course. Possibly the hardest thing I've done except for labor!

I knew it was going to hurt...but I gave into the peer (family) pressure :)




I got to shoot a gun. I was terrible. Good thing I'm a better shopper than hunter :)


Claire's ready for chow!

Another activity I was pressured into...paintball. I hid like a coward the whole time :) But, I came out un-injured :)

Claire loved the turtles.


With Grandma and Grandpa Brinkerhoff.





Claire loves to ride!

This reunion looked so fun! Ropes course! Paint ball! (i would have been SCARED of that one! I would have hid with you!) That's awesome that you still went to the reunion even without Brian. And that pool picture is SO cute! FRAMER!
