This weekend our little family loaded up into Ophelia and headed to South Salt Lake for the annual Heath Family Reunion. I was so excited to attend because I hadn't seen my Great Uncle Paul since he sealed us in the Salt Lake Temple 9 1/2 years ago.
THIS NEXT PART IS NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH!!!
By the time we hit the out skirts of town Sunshine was complaining her tummy hurt and was looking a rather sickly shade of green. As we pulled into the park she lost her breakfast with such velosity that it actually hit our arms. We were even in the front seat!!
While Chris painstakingly cleaned off his laptop in the drinking fountain (that's what he gets for bringing electronics) I discovered a more effective way to hose everything else off in the bathroom.
By the time we were all cleaned up we noticed something rather parculiar. THERE WAS NOBODY THERE! And we were even late! Seriously! We even found the reservation sign holding the pavilion for our family.
I guess this turned out to be lucky because our car really needed to be cleaned out because the Watermelon scented car freshener was not hiding the smell. It was just making it worse. Once Sunshine lost the sickly green look and her cheeks became rosy again, we piled in the car and headed home. We made a stop at McDonald's and played for a bit, then drove home...with the windows down.
Oddly enough Chris got us lost and we found ourselves downwind to a human waste processing plant...which made the rebreakfast watermelon scent even worse! Luckily before anyone else got ill, we found our way back to familiar territory, stopped the car to air it out a bit and pick wild sunflowers. They are very pretty and amazingly didn't wilt and die from the fumes emitting from our car. Poor Ophelia. It was a rough, rough day.
END OF SQUEAMISH STORY.
On a lighter note, we played a really fun game of Sardines with the kids and the cousins this weekend...
Here's my new profile pic...taken by my mom which means it's one He-Man and I were in together!

How weird that noone was there! Did you ever find out what happened? I hope your car is smelling better now...I find myself reminded of the visit to your place in Oregon en route to OUR reunion and the vomit you let us come to your house to clean up..... :)
Oh, and BEAUTIFUL sunflowers!
Sounds like a reunion full of exciting smells. Yum!
I love your new picture. Your husband is missing a lot of his hair :)
