Murray Family Reunion

Avery and Charlotte doing puzzles at our condos. All 3 of the girls had such a blast playing together. Below are some of the events of the Murray Family Reunion in Park City.

Charlottes Birthday was an exciting moment for Avery. She wanted to help Charlotte open and play with all of her toys, she was so excited but we had to hold her back a bit so we didn't upset Char.

Presents from Grandma, early Birthday gifts.

Mom and Dad just got back from Egypt and this is what happens! :)

Raven and Avery found all of Charlottes presents when Charlotte was gone. They were partners in crime.

7 Peaks Fun! Buddies for life.




Avery and Cousin Raven in Avery's P.J.'s playing in front of the condos. They wanted to be twins.

Jeff and Jacob after going on the mouse for the 5th time in a row.

Cousin Skyler, Sierra and Grandma riding a ride that would make us sick.

Cousin Sierra and Avery on the amazingly slow boring boats.

Cousin Skyler

I swear she goes all relaxed in a deep trance whenever we go on rides. Especially on the Merry-Go-Round. She could have rode this ride over and over again. We had to sit on 10 different animals as we tried to get off the ride.

So the tidal wave was a little terrifying for the little one. She was so excited but as soon as she felt her stomach drop for the first time I think she didn't quite know what to think and she climbed up around my body and hid burried in my neck. Her little body would shake like crazy everytime we would lose our stomachs despite my best efforts to squeeze her as tight as I could. When it was done she said "I did it mommy" her norm and got off as quick as she could. The rest of the day she sang. "yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me".





Raven and Avery on another plane ride.

Avery loved every ride she went on even the scary rides, she had fun keeping up with her cousins or should we say her cousins had fun keeping up with her.


Running around in the meadow outside our condo's on the 24th of July.

The Luge sled was just her size, sorry about the crazy angle





Similar to what Jeff's face looks like when he really ski's.

Avery was actually pretty good at this game.

Very Cool and kind of Scary. Avery loved the flying hourse behind this gigantic "mountain goat" I believe. This was all part of the opening or closing ceremonies for the winter olympics

Aunt Amanda, Jeff's Sister and her baby Summer

We decided we would stop and get a treat and as usual. We sat and watched as Avery hogged it all. Eventually with this kind of treat she gets a brain freeze and we can usually talk her into sharing.







Main Street in Park City


Baby Summer, Avery took this picture we had to keep her busy at the game until the fireworks started.

This is a Viagara Melon, You may want to ask Travis and Kristina about this one, they were giving there best efforts to help us get a cousin here for baby Ashton it was a kind effort although the problem doesn't lie here. The perscription card was even better but I'll leave this site as G rated as I can.



Bryce Canyon, we decided to take a little detour which led to a much longer detour when Jeff decided another route for us to take home once we got done. Read Below.

Don't we just look lovely?

Jeff's idea of a "Short Cut" ended up being in the middle of the Escalante Staircase on a single lane double dirt road that happened to be wet and slippery and went up extremely high hills and around mountains with drop offs without gaurd rails or anything and let me remind you we were slipping. Had anything happened to us we just would have been more bones to look at in the area b/c no one would have any idea we needed help b/c on this 55 mile dirt road shortcut there was no phone service or any other people except for one other I will say driving the stinking road. Needless to say we got to use our 4 wheel drive that we've been paying for and never using. So that was a plus even though we forgot to turn it off the rest of the way home and got terrible gas mileage but Jeff didn't realize and he still doesn't need to know.

Just so you know these parts I took pictures of were in the dry flat valley areas. Where I could actually pry my hand off the Oh *!#@ handle to take a picture. In the distance you will also see a sign of civilization. Never been so happy to see an electic pole in my life. Is that what those things are called? Oh well
