Noelle & IWe spent about 5 days in Grand Junction with my mom's family. We had a fun time. We saw Toy Story 3(IT WAS REALLY FUNNY AND AWESOME!). Went to Bananas Fun Park, Cross Orchards Farm and a Dino Museum. Along with tons of family time and a 4oth anniversary party for my Grandparents we had a great visit. We also got to go swimming at our hotel and at Lincoln Park(fun place with slide and diving boards).
For those of you who don't know I am obsessed with Gerald N. Lund's church History, Historical Novels, Now you do! I was introduced to another series (Children of the Promise by Dean Hughes) during our stay in Grand Junction, which I am currently reading through. Children of the Promise is about a family during World War II. I'm really liking it so far. Learning alot as well. I highly recommend it.
Cross Orchards is a preserved farm. It was like originally a 15 acre Apple and Peach Orchard. They would sell their fruit. Anyway they preserved the main buildings. Truth be told I go NUTS with picture taking at places like this. This is only a sampling of stuff.

This is a look at the ceiling that was plastered with the papers put on the boxes and cans of shipments . There were 3 types.The Taylor Family Reunion was in Joseph, Utah this year. Which is a change for once. We always usually had it somewhere in Arizona( because all Dad's family lives in Arizona, except for us and my Uncle John's family). Joseph it a small town right next to Richfield. We had a nice time there. The Teme was Love & unity. And we had some fun activities. During the whole time we did this thing we call Love Grams. We had a box and some cards, and you write love grams to others throughout the reunion. It was nice. My Uncle Corey likes to go shooting, and has a bunch or guns. So one of the days those who wanted to, got to go shooting. It was really awesome! We also got to go swimming and have lots of fun family time together. It was a wonderful trip.
On the way home we stopped in North Ogden to visit some friends who moved out of our ward last year. We arrived there Saturday afternoon(Pioneer Day) and stayed til Monday morning. The beehives invited me to an Open Air Movie(projected on one of the girls house) so I went to that and saw Mine Yours & Ours with the Beehives and Josh Myers(one of our friends). I had a really fun time.
Our Summer Vacation was long and very tiring so by the end of our trip we were so glad to be home.
So that's about it!
