Birdseye UT Helm Family Reunion part 2

 Here we are in the summer sun shooting off water balloons with a launcher! We started out shooting it any old place, but then Annaliese decided she wanted to be the target so we started aiming for her. I believe some were close, but most couldn't touch her.
Gage put his whole body into it! He was determined to make it fly far.
 Here is Grandma Jan flying a kite she made and helped the grandkids make as well.
 Lorilyn had her 1 year birthday with us at the reunion where Helm tradition dictates letting them have at the cake anyway that pleases them. You can see that the kids were excited when she decided to dig in! Look at those faces.
 We had lots of talents presented throughout the reunion, but this one seems to be the only one I captured. It was fun to watch!
Here she is all cleaned up and fairyed up! What a cute girl.
 
 Angela arrived a couple of days into the reunion. We all wanted her to feel welcome, as you can see. She was greeted with celery, otter pop and dessert!
 
 
 One of the highlights that everyone really enjoyed was Color Me Mine. The kids and adults alike had fun picking out what they would paint and creating a work of art.
 
 Another loved activity was floating down the Provo River. We often had some rivalry going on trying to pass each other. It was a blast!

 Our last outing was Mt. Nebo Scenic drive.
 It was gorgeous as you can see and very windy on top.

A family picture...not the best we've ever taken. But Gage is cute!
 

 This is a little snapshot of the ranch home we stayed in. It was huge and had plenty of wonderful stretch out room for everyone. We loved our stay here and loved the time spent with the Helm family clan. Great memories once again! Thanks parents, Emily and Melanie!

wow you got some great photos! I also, like Melanie, left my camera off. I think I even took it on the raft ride but didn't get a single picture. Thanks for making me feel loved!
