Hoggard Reunion

To kick off our family vacation we went to Delta, Utah for a Hoggard Family Reunion. We arrived Friday night in time for a BBQ and the kids to swing on the round clothes line. It was nice to see the men pushing 4 kids in a circle continuously for hours on end. We then pitched our tent and slept in Shiloh's grandparents backyard. All I need to say about camping is "Five people do not fit in a four man tent." On Saturday I went walking to sight see the booming metropolis of Delta and then Shiloh and Sean went golfing with some Uncles and Cousins. Midway through golfing I had to get the keys from Shiloh so I got in a golf cart and drove out to the furthest hole and it was a complete blast! I now know why men all rent their own golf carts. By afternoon we were ready to get wet and went swimming at the indoor city pool. I was reminded how scary the high dive is, after commenting that I use to jump all the time- my kids then wanted to witness the event. WOW ITS HIGH! That night we went to the park for the main reunion event of dinner and a show. Shiloh's side is definitely musically talented. That night we got a motel room and therefore got a decent nights sleep. On Sunday we went to brunch at a local Cafe and then we got to ride grandpa Hoggards Harley. This time Sean got on for a ride and Emma learned how to drive. I even got a ride- wooohoooo. We then went back to great grandpa and grandmas house for more visiting. After vegging on the lawn and watching each family leave we decided to move on to the next segment of our vacation.
Ryan found the hose and got completely soaked
