1 Year Anniversary!
This last week David and I went on a cruise for four nights on the Carnival Paradise Ship. We visited the Catalina Islands and Ensenada in Baja California Mexico. We had a great time shopping, site seeing, eating free food available 24 hours a day, and relaxing. We both tried to get a tan too, but we are so white that we weren't too successful, though I think we might have gone from florescent white to neutral white... Anyway, we had a wonderful time. The Crew on the ship was wonderful, the service was great, and the food was to die for. It is something we would definitely enjoy doing again.
Camping the Murphy Way...
Two weeks ago, David and I joined my family in some great traditional Murphy camping fun. We camped on the Dinky Creek camping grounds in a tent for three nights! We had fun hiking, swimming, eating, and hanging out. We had a blast! It was especially nice to have the whole family together. My dad is a truck driver so he isn't home too often but he was able to make it. Also, my sister Vanessa and her husband Ryan were able to come down from Canada. It was great to have everyone together again.

Hey there everyone! Summer has been great so far... last week was the Thorley Reunion. This is an annual event where everyone from my mother-in-law's side of the family gathers for an extraordinary reunion on the Thorley Mountain. It is a beautiful place to be... I was so excited for the reunion I must have lost at least 3 nights of sleep over it. We had a great time hanging out with family and getting to know each other better. There was great food, fun, entertainment, and projects to do. We had an absolute blast!
Right before the reunion, the immediate Mark and Jo Linda Reynders family had a little reunion. That was a lot of fun too... The last day of this reunion, all of us kids and our husbands and wives went on a hike. We hiked through the Subway in Zion National Park. It was a great hike. We had to jump in some nasty water, repel about five times, and go up and down steep mountainsides. After that hike we were all dead tiered. We had a lot of fun though. We weren't exactly sure where we were supposed to be going and the trail wasn't marked that well, so we had fun trying to figure everything out. The only directions we had were telling us to scamper, and look for the hoodoo or something of that sort... they weren't very helpful. Here is a little video that david put together from our hike...
