We had a great time at the Brown Family Reunion in Cedar City, Utah. The kids had fun meeting new cousins. The weather was fabulous and I got to read two books! It was a great vacation!
One evening we had a luau. Three Polynesian guys came and performed. They were good dancers and fun to watch. They are trying to get the men to do the "haka" or something like that. The thing the BYU football players do before a game.
They were a hit with the girls!
We celebrated the 4th of July at the cabin and St. John's. The weather was so beautiful! Nice and cool! We had a great time with family! Clint didn't come so I had to drive. That is always scary because I have a hard time staying awake. But we made it!
The kids always look forward to the races and eating snow cones. It was fun to talk to cousins and friends that we hadn't seen in a long time.
The next day we went to Snowflake for a family reunion with the other side of the family. The kids loved riding in the little pony cart.
Juliette loved hanging out with her cousins.
Major was busy playing with cousins, but I did get one picture of him. He wasn't too thrilled with the horses. He liked the creek better.
Lucy loved the horses and playing with cousins. The Ballard's were so patient walking the kids on the horses for hours! They are the best!
Juliette loved the horses and took lots of rides until the horse stumbled and scared her to death! We had to force her to get on again, but she did. She can be brave when she wants to. Now if she could just be brave at night and sleep in her own bed!
We had a great time on our cruise to Bermuda. It was for seven nights and left from Boston. 
We had one day at sea and then arrived about noon the next day in St. George. We did a self walking tour and saw the town square, two fortresses and stopped at a little beach.
Every night we had great entertainment. This is Clint with the Black Street Boyz. They were so hilarious. We bought their DVD if anyone wants to watch it. The dance company was really good too. They had an adaudge (I don't know how to spell it and couldn't find it in the dictionary, but that is what they called it. If anyone knows about this please let me know!) couple that was unbelievable. They did contortion and stunts like that. 
Juliette got freaked out when I pointed out the little fish to her. They were clear and almost invisible. I shouldn't have done that. She wouldn't go near the water after that.
Everyone had all the ice cream they could eat. Juliette ordered chicken nuggets and French fries everyday. She wouldn't order anything else. Major had made to order pasta everyday and loved that! 
Lucy and Juliette had their dance recital. Lucy was in three dances. She loves to dance! She made the dance company for next year and is really excited. 
May is always a busy month! Carol and Major had their final orchestra concert. Major received the award for the outstanding beginning student. Carol also had her final Symphony concert. I could tell a big improvement from the beginning of the year. They did an excellent job.
Major won 1st place in the original poetry contest for 4th grade. 
On Saturday we celebrated Juliette's 6th Birthday. She wanted a pizza party. All the children made their own pizza. I think everyone had fun. About 16 children came. I got worried after I invited everyone with how it was going to work. But the kids were great and didn't really need help. What a relief! It was a fun party!
LuLu our rabbit likes to babysit the kittens when Cookie, the mother, takes a break. Lulu is so sweet and the two kittens are so cute and getting big.
