First we headed to California for my immediate Murphy family reunion. We camped at Dinkey Creek up in the mountains by Shaver and Shaver Lake and McKinley Grove Sierra National Forest. Every summer throughout my childhood, my family would camp at Dinkey Creek. I have many wonderful memories there. In fact Dinkey Creek is the first place we endeavored to tent camp alone after having Peter.
All of my siblings were there! My older sister was able to come down from Canada with her two kiddos! The kids had so much fun playing together. They were instant friends!
And of course we played at the creek and the rock slides... It's tradition!

| They all slept in! They did great sleeping in the tent. = happy parents |
After tent camping at Dinkey Creek for 3 days we made our way home, did laundry and repacked for the next camping adventure. We camped outside the Thorley Cabin in Southern Utah about a 45 minute drive up from Cedar City, UT. It is so beautiful up there! We always love going to the cabin. This reunion was an extended family reunion with all of David's grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins on his mom's side of the family. They get together every summer at the same time and place. It is always good to be surrounded by family! This year we packed a lunch and went down to the Kolob Reservoir for a few hours. We got to go out to a little island in the reservoir via canoes and paddle boards. The kids had a blast and so did we. I tried paddle boarding for the first time and actually made it to and from the island without falling off!
