Another Bennion Reunion has come and gone. This year we headed south to the Red Cliffs Area of St. George. Like all gatherings are; it was a blast. I wasn’t sure about two things: First, Logan had a tooth coming in and when he is teething he cries out/whimpers throughout the night. I was afraid he would keep his cousins up at night with his moaning. However, he slept soundly through the first night. Better than most of the adults, who all woke up to the heavy wind/rain storm. Second, I wasn’t so sure about sleeping on the ground being 8 months pregnant. The queen blowup mattress and the pack n’ play doesn’t fit very well in our tent. So we got out Aaron’s old twin blow mattress. But alas! It had a hole in it. Plan B it was: We called my parents and borrowed a mattress from them. This mattress was just used a week before and was just fine. Levi slept on it when we were in Salt Lake. But alas! It had a hole in it too! How it got a hole in it, when it worked fine the week, before is beyond me. So in the end I got to “sleep” on the ground. I wouldn’t recommend it for very fat pregnant ladies. Logan was a big help in putting up tents...
This picture only shows half of the crew's sleeping quarters.
Logan had so much fun camping. He ran around inside the tent, giddy with excitement, as Aaron and I put the tent up. He thought the endless supply of red sand was pretty neat too. The whole campground was his very own giant sandbox.
Poor Toby had to put up with a lot of kids chasing him. Logan especially liked to terrorize the poor dog. Toby is very patience and obedient dog. He never once barked or snapped at any of the kids or other campers.

Logan is eating his muffin that he dropped in the sand. YUMMY!! 
This year we went on two hikes. I only went on the first. Logan and Allen were napping during the second so I stay back to hold down the fort. The first hike was to an old Indian cache. My boys ran ahead with Weston and Chase; so I didn't get any pictures of them hiking. 
I finally caught up to my boys at the end of the trail. Logan is quite the explorer. Climbing on rocks and digging through sand is pretty cool according to him. 
Above I mentioned the wind/rain storm, yep bummer weather hit us the second night. So we decided to pack up camp and head for shelter. Lucky for us Kent and Natalie live only 20 minutes away. We spent the rest of the week at their house and went out on day trips -weather permitting. 
Before a rain storm rolled through we had to hurry and do the SAWDUST PILE!!! Logan really got into it this year. He loves candy...that's my sugar baby! 
Can't wait for next year!
