later we are home again.
On Tuesday Jake called to tell me that he thought there was a possibility we could make it to him family reunion in NV. We were not planning on going due to the fact that Jake had a training til Tuesday and finals on Thursday with a school project sometime in between. Well on Tuesday he figured out he could meet with his group Tuesday eve and then write his paper that night. So we stayed up til 11pm finishing his paper and then woke up at 2am Wed morning to drive out. We forgot about the time change so we arrived in NV way earlier than needed for breakfast but we enjoyed the extra time to spend with everyone still in their PJs haha. I think the trip was made PERFECT by the fact that we received such a warm welcome of open arms and people so excited to see us they greeted us before even getting dressed! It was so sweet to see Mandi running to see the girls and wanting to hold Mali Su right away and for Larkie and Lark to run in with so much excitement and Lark to cry and hug me so tight and tell me how glad she was we made it. We could not have asked for a better welcome. The day consisted of many fun activities. The evening ended with dinner and a talent show where Jake and Aaron's talent was to teach "combatives." We left at about 8pm and got home at 2:15am. The drive home took longer because we stopped and slept for an hour and since I was driving and I was so tired I found myself driving slower than normal and praying A TON not to fall asleep! I realize now that I did not take many pictures but I know that I will be posting "shillig family" pictures as soon as I can. We took great family pictures! The pictures alone were worth our drive haha
4 Generations (worth the whole trip!)
William Edward Shillig Sr, William Edward Shillig Jr, Jacob Thomas Shillig, and the girls Aimi Lark and Mali Su Shillig
Talented Cousins "dancing on tables"
Madilyn, Alaina, and Aimi Lark
The boys showing off their "moves"
and OF COURSE we stopped at the new "in n out" in Washington City, UT on the way home

I remember going to in-n-out with you guys for the first time on the way home from the temple. it's a memory i'll always cherish :) Thanks for posting this, it's reminded me to scrapbook about that...
ReplyDeleteThis is all the pictures you took?!?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you guys had fun and were able to make it. It's so great to see everyone all together. I bet it was a blast!
I LOVE in-n-out! wish they would build one in Texas :) sounds like a fun trip!
ReplyDeleteThat's so great that you guys were able to go! Driving home at night is not very fun especially when you are tired. I bet the Shillig family reunions never have a dull moment!
ReplyDeleteThat's great that you got to go! I'm glad you guys got to hang out with Jake's family. Luke missed out.
ReplyDeleteSounds like y'all had a fun trip. Years from now you're going to be so glad you took that 4 generation picture. Very cool. Oh, I don't know what "In-n-out" is, but those burgers look delish!
