August was super fun and super crazy! We flew back east to a family reunion in Washington DC and then journeyed to New York to visit family and friends up there too. It was really great to reconnect with so many people we haven't seen in forever.
We started out flying from Boise to DC. We got there on Tuesday the 4th and stayed the night at Justin's parents house. The next day we all went to the dorms at Georgetown and stayed there for the duration of the reunion. It was a pretty nice set up. The campus there is beautiful! Justin's mom worked really hard putting together slide shows of all the kids in the family and we all took turns cooking and taking care of the kids. We went swimming, sight seeing, to the zoo, had a talent show, bbq in rock creek park, picked up Aunt Kristy at the airport for her homecoming. It was a lot of fun. The highlight was going to the temple and out to dinner with all the adults on Saturday evening. It was really neat to be in the temple with all of Justin's siblings. Food afterwards was awesome too. Here are some random pictures of

Mary, Nathan and Michelle pretending to sleep. They were so cute playing house. They would lie down and take a nap and then a minute later run to the pool and swim then come back and "sleep". It was cute.

Looks like you had a lot of fun with a fun family. What a big trip! Can't wait to see what "Monstercation" part two entails. How did you come up with that word?
