Joseph, Utah/Bryce Canyon

Over the 24th of July we went to my dad's home town of Joseph, Utah, for a Mills family reunion. Joseph is a small town south of Richfield. Population of about 300. Growing up as a kid some of my favorite memories about Joseph was my grandpa's dairy farm, riding 4-wheelers, walking to the Flying U for some candy, sitting on the side of the road trying to get all the semi's that drove by to honk with my cousins (not sure how safe we were), Thanksgiving dinners, hiking in the hills and cutting down our own Christmas trees, and there are many more. Both of my grandparents on that side have passed away, so we hadn't been down in a long time. It was a lot of fun reliving some of those memories those few days in Joseph. (Just for the record, we did not try to get any semi's to honk at us!)



All the cousins and grandkids.


Not sure why I never was a rodeo princess.....Seriously

One day we drove to Bryce Canyon and went on a hike and bike ride. We had tons of fun!

The hike we went on was called the Navajoo Loop Trail.







Here is my nephew Bryce:)

Last but not least, it's always fun swimming in the hotel pool!

Looks like fun! Great pics....especially the one of just you and Jaron, great background! What are you going to do with your days while kids are at school?? Lucky lady! And I have always wondered since I met you also, why aren't you a rodeo queen? You fit the criteria for one!
