day #9 of ca/ut trip

i will get these trip posts done eventually...

this one is the one that's been my hangup, so hopefully i can get them done a little faster now. on day 9 of our trip we went out to the farm to spend the day with my grandparents and my mom's side of the family. we had hundreds of pictures from that day so it was really hard to decide what to post. we had a great day eating good food, 4-wheeling, kite-flying, rope-swinging, bottle rocket launching, and catching up with our west coast family.

here's me, aaron and chubbs on the atv
my parents - isn't my mom so cute in her hat?

uncle sam taking the kids for a ride
kaylee on the rope swing in the barn

all the watkins grandkids

my parents and sibs - peter, me, pop, mom, betsy, alec and sam. peter never smiles...all our family pics have his grumpy non-smile - maybe he was born to be a marine. ephraim is missing because he was in basic training (he, too, is a marine)
the whole fam-damnly (sans ephraim and peter's wife, jenny, who is also a marine and was doing some sort of weapons training - i think)

the girls getting carted out of the barn

cute pic of tanner sneaking into the shed

the kids having fun with bottle rocket launching

cute emma-cheeks

tanner up to some sort of mischief

kaylee and her cousin claire

dallin got to ride in grandpa's truck and even got to be in charge of the stick shift - he was in heaven!
needless to say we had so much fun, ate too much food, and slept very well that night. Y

Oh my goodness! The cheeks on that little baby girl are to die for. They're so kissable! And I think it's hilarious that Dallin is far more interested in the dog than paying attention for a family picture. That's so Dallin. Tanner didn't seem too excited about the bottle rocket, though. It looks like you had a great time. It's great to be able to get together with all your family!
