Later that day we all fit in my mom's car and drove up to a canyon near Adam and Amy's house for a family gathering to celebrate Megan's 8th birthday and so everyone could see Betsy and the boys.
Emmit fell asleep toward the end of the drive and Betsy wanted to keep him asleep for as long as possible.
This is my favorite picture from the whole trip! Betsy had been sitting in the car with the sleeping Emmit but got out to hug my mom and ended up making this hilarious face.
Owen was so excited to be on a mountain, and Landon was good enough to "be on duty" taking him around.
Betsy had to keep checking on Emmit.
We got a mountain self-portrait.
Whitney, Bella and Megan.
Owen did a little creek crossing, he's hard core.
Robyn and her kids were the last to arrive, but completed to party.
They had gotten a dog that day (which appeared to be a guinea pig or a rabbit upon first glance) which stole the show for sure.
The kids roasted hot dogs, but the rest of us brought better take-out from various place.
Emmit woke up and got busy mountain climbing with the boys.
Megan got to open her presents and was surprised by the $10 bill we gave her.
At one point, Emmit plopped himself on Landon's lap, which was all kinds of cute.
I brought my tripod so we could get a group photo, which turned out great (I think) but is especially funny to us because Olivia's friend planted herself front and center. I just couldn't bring myself to ask her to stand near the tripod to try to make us laugh. Also, check out Randy holding the puppy in a blanket. He held the dog and rocked back and forth like it was a newborn baby.
Good times.

That is too funny about the friend jumping in the picture. I wouldn't have had the heart to kick her out either.
How nice that Betsy could see the whole family. I love that your family does this for birthdays.
Good times for sure. I'm happy for you!
I think it's great because at first it appears to be a normal picture, then it's like, who is that random child? Is that a dog Randy's holding??
what beautiful photos.
Looks like you had such a nice time.
Looks like you all are having a really great summer!
What a great, simple birthday party. I think it's funny you all opted for take out instead of hot dogs.
