Ririe Family Reunion at Brian Head Utah July 24-27, 2011

 We had a great time at the reunion. Matt seemed pretty relaxed like he was enjoying the vacation. When we arrived he found out that we had a refrigerator in our yert ( kind of a round, tent like cabin). He brought over all these Mountain Dews that Becca had bought for him so that he would be in a good mood, he put them in the refrigerator and gave strict commands that all the kids stay out of them!

 On of the days Adam was pretty tired and layed down with Rosalee to take a nap. When I came in the yert it looked like Rosalee was about to fall off his arm. I asked him if she was falling and he assured me that he was in complete control! I took this picture to show him what it looked like.

 Ellie is so cute and fun, but she still won't let me hold her. She will give me kisses and hugs as long as her mom or dad is holding her. Courtney tells me that she thinks Ellie will warm up if I ignore her. Do you know how hard it is to ignore your granddaughter? Adam doesn't think ignoring her will work.

 There were horses there for us to ride. Matt rode Boss.

 Natalie rode Freckles.

 Emily rode Earl

 Sadie rode Beauty! She was so excited to ride. The last time that we tried to get her on a horse she was really freaked out. By the time she got back from the ride Cowboy Mike had her talked into riding lessons!



See you later, Alligator!



 Jeff seemed to have fun but Sammi wasn't there. He had wanted her to come but she had a prior comittment and so we went without her.


Garrick really wanted to ride. He was so excited to get on the horse, but getting him on was harder than it looked!




I think Garrick smiled from ear to ear the entire time he was on that horse!



I got a kick out of this picture because of the girls laughing who are helping with the horses. Everywhere Daniel goes girls notice him. He use to be pretty stuck on himself. But lately he just seems to have fun and ignore it all! I really enjoy being around him when he is like this.
