Nephi Weekend

This month we were able to attend a small family reunion on my dad's side of the family in Nephi, Utah. Typically it's coordinated with the Ute Stampede Rodeo, Fair, and Car Show. In other words it's a busy weekend for this town. My aunt Tammy and uncle Jon had a house full of people. We were happy to pitch a tent in their yard and join in the fun. First we went to the car show where they had a great breakfast.....

Obviously they had the antiques; but Jon's Harley Davidson welded from metal was really original. He obtained a prize for that......

My uncle Jon and his daughter Jessica :)

Next to the car show in the park is one of the funnest swimming pools. We definitely took advantage of that!

Willow is getting a lot of practice swimming this summer......

We stopped by some street vendors where they were selling everything under the sun. We got suckered into buying a few things including spoiling the kids with a balloon and toy.....

Ava really wanted a hat (I got one too) and I thought it looked so great on her I couldn't resist.....

Before the evening festivities, we went back to Tammy's house to relax......

These are my cousins Derick, Aaron, Cliff, and Josh (and his little girl Harper)......

Not everyone was there when I got these photos because they were scattered like sheep around town doing their own things......

The evening was reserved for the fair.......

I wanted to save the Ferris Wheel to coordinate with the end of the rodeo because I knew that they would be letting off fireworks. The line was so long I didn't think we would make it. But, it was our lucky night. We sat there on the Ferris Wheel all the way at the top and watched the lights and sound burst through the sky. It was so great!

What a great weekend!
