Jones Family Reunion - Day 2

Miles had woken up pretty early and before we got breakfast and headed out the door Emilee and grabbed him and he zonked right out on her! He was so exhausted! Plus it is kind of a miracle he let anyone else hold him besides Mom or Dad!
After breakfast we headed to our first hike, Cascade Falls Trail, it was long but oh so beautiful! Definitely worth it!
Zion National Park is those light colored mountains in the very back middle of the picture! It was so cool to be able to see it's relationship in comparison to where we were at!
On the back row starting from the right going to the left and then jumping down to the bottom row going right to left is the grandkids from oldest to youngest in our reunion shirts!
Kyli, Kayden, Quinlynn, Kennedy, Kevin, Avery, Taya, Treyson, Kaitlyn, Jake, Talyn, Easton, McKinley, Carter, Keltyn, Max, Ainslee, Lyndon, Baylee, Ella, Everly, Owen, Madden, Camille, Kynslee, Abbi and Miles
Kyli, Quinlynn and Kennedy
Camille loved being big and hiking like the big kids! She wanted to lead!
Taya and Kaitlyn
Brett was a little stubborn and wouldn't let anyone help him and he busted through the hike with one leg, a lot of hopping! More power to him because that would have kicked my butt!
Quinlynn caught a horny toad!
McKay and Camille taking a rest!
Beth, Brett and Kennedy!
Some kids were coming back from the falls and others still headed there!

Ainslee and Baylee caught up to them!
The boys found some shade to relax in!

After Cascade Falls we headed up to the Ice Cave, as we waited our turn all the kids started sitting on this log to wait, so we made a few others run over and we got a pic!

It was so cool, temperature wise, still some ice on the ground and on the rocks but also a little wet and muddy!

A group of adults and some of the older kids went all the way through one of the tunnels and popped out a hole about 100 yards away! It got pretty low and squishy they had to crawl to get out!
After that hike we headed back and let the kids just play around the cabin and started preparing dinner!
Miles kept sneaking out the front door!
Girls chatting in the kitchen!

Quinny!
After dinner we all gathered on the back porch and held a FHE and then we played a game where Kelli would ask a question and then we gave each kid a chance to guess which Jones sibling did that as a kid! It was funny to get the answers and see the kids reactions when it was their parent! It was so fun!
After the kids went to bed the adults stayed up late again and talked and laughed!
