For many years my grandma Micki's sisters and their families have been going to Sand Hollow for Easter. (We are about talking tons and tons of extended family.)
For some reason none of our family has joined them until this year and it was all because of me! I suggested that everyone pack up their bags and spend their weekend down here in the warm weather. To my surprise most of my family came! It was awesome.

The weather wasn't the best because the wind decided to take over but that didn't stop us from having a good time.
Our relatives had trailers and tents out around on the sandy beach and we enjoyed some yummy dutch oven food the first night. It was a bit chilly, but we finished the night with songs around the campfire.
My immediate family stayed with Drew and I at our little apartment ha ha! It was fun. We had blow up mattresses out on the carpet and everyone slept good! So that was nice.
The next morning we went shopping a bit before heading out to the lake. We spent the afternoon and evening at the lake. The first thing we did when we got there was cliff jump and boy it was freezing!! The water was miserably cold and so that wasn't very nice but the experience was worth it!
We just hung around that afternoon and Drew and I got to kayak for a bit out on the lake. It was dreamy!

We ended the night with tinfoil dinners and sitting around the fire again, but this time we got to roast marshmallows. My fave!
The next morning was Easter Sunday! The Easter bunny found us and left easter eggs and candy all around our apartment so we could have a mini easter egg hung. We went to church and then later had Sunday dinner back at our place. We made hawaiian haystacks and they were yummy!
My family left later that afternoon and we were all super tired from the eventful weekend. However, being with all my extended family over the weekend was amazing. It's amazing that two beautiful people created such a huge, wonderful family!
I'm so happy Drew gets to be a part of it and feel that love because it is awesome and we are so blessed.
