We spent an entertaining and priceless week at Sundance for a family reunion with my family. We were at the BYU Alumni Family Camp, Aspen Grove, at the base of Mount Timpanogos. We experienced so many wonderful things, but mostly just enjoyed being together!! I couldn't ask for a more amazing family!!
Grandpa & Grandma Sugar
Jeff & Sandy: Elli, Emma, Rachel, Hannah, Abby
Mike & Connie: David, Madison
Brian & Sonya: Mackenzie, Mitchell, Kerrigan
Mike & Susie: Ashlyn, Katelyn, Lauryn, Brynlyn (baby Madelyn on-the-way)

We desperately missed my 2 youngest brothers who weren't able to come; {Rick and Barbie just had a baby and Rob and Emily are in Moscow, Russia for the summer.} but we're already planning our next family reunion to Aspen Grove so we can all be together!!
Family Group
During the daytime, the children were divided by age into Activity Groups with camp counselors. The counselors were all BYU students. While the kids were off playing with their activity groups, the adults had time to play and relax! It was perfect!! We had Family Home Evening and a Family Dance on Monday night and an adult Testimony Meeting on Sunday afternoon after church.
Eric & Jackson: Frontier Night
Jackson: Cowboy Village
Some of our favorite activities were:
-Geocaching
-Swimming

Jackson and my niece Brynlyn were in the "Stompers" age-group and had 2 darling girl counselors!!

On our 4th day Brynlyn fell off the monkey bars and broke her leg! After a quick trip to Timpanogos Regional Hospital they were back at camp with a splint on her leg. She was put on bed rest until we could return to Arizona, where a Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon cast her leg in a bright pink cast!! Jackson quickly lost interest in going to his "Stompers" Activity Group alone and instead spent the remainder of camp hanging out with Brynlyn in her makeshift hospital room.
Seriously, it was an entertaining and priceless week, filled with memories we will never forget!!

Sounds like so much fun! ( except the broken leg, that is)
What a fun time! I always thought that place would be so great to go to! We seriously need to get together this summer before preschool starts! I miss you! Seriously - maybe a jumpy place or wherever! Did you decide what Jackson's going to do for the fall for preschool? Email me when you're free so we can get together!
Looks so fun!! I love you Mom and Dad!!! Totally miss your Dad!!! Oh my heck Tanya has 5 kids already? Craziness!!! I forgot she married Bryce too, that's so cool. Well your little guy is too darn cute!! Hope you are well.
So fun to see pictures of all the Thornocks and grandkids. Looks like the boys have some catching up to do, huh? :) What a fun reunion!
