Cheney Reunion


In June we made a trek out West with Brian's dad-- he was SOO patient and generous to let us ride in his van with him for the 24 hour drive there and back. After an overnight drive to Salt Lake, we spent the weekend with my sister Carmelle, and got to visit my grandparents, sister Kaitlin, and old roommate Liz. It was great! I wish we lived closer to my family for more late night crafting, snacking, talking, and dancing :)
We then drove up to Boise for a great Cheney family reunion. With Brian's dad and siblings families, we got to stay in this awesome cabin with a great view of Cascade Lake. We had so much fun geocaching, hiking, sledding, sitting around bonfires and having fun together.
Then for a few days we went to Meridian Idaho to spend time with the extended Cheney family. We had a talent show/ "Minute to Win It" contest, swim party, town parade, and day at the lake. It was such a good trip and we loved it, despite a rough ending as our kids had the stomach flu on the trip home :( I love being a Cheney!
