Eppich Family Reunion-Duck Creek

This year for our Eppich family reunion we decided to forgo our normal camping trip up Hobble Creek Canyon and we headed south and rented a cabin at Duck Creek.

Don't let this pretty little smile fool you she wasn't always that happy on the car ride to Duck Creek. We had a little bit of screaming from her as well.

When we got to the cabin the kids jumped out and found the dirt and started exploring. We enjoyed spending time outside and chatting with each other and watching the kids play.

Hey beautiful blue eyes!

Clark filled his truck above the rim with his four wheelers, bikes, and outdoor toys! We all had fun enjoying them.

Ty was in heaven!!

That night after playing hard we were in charge of dinner and made hamburgers for everyone to enjoy. 

Friday: French Day

Mom has been doing a lot of family history work on Dad's side and has found hundreds of names from France to do temple work for. So it was decided to make Friday French day and have the food centered around French food and that night mom planned a special slideshow presentation about Grandma Ida. Following this we all watched Ratatouille.

For breakfast mom decided to make crepes (yummy).

After breakfast many of the group headed out to go fishing. Once the rest of us got ready we joined them for some fun and fishing.

After that we came home to have lunch (Karli and Garret provided yummy ham and cheese sandwiches), naps, playtime. 

Later on in the afternoon we went in search of the ice cave but were unable to find it and opted to go play at the lake. It was very cold but some still enjoyed playing in the water and fishing as well. While the rest of us hung out on the beach.

When we got home from the lake we put the girls in the bath while dinner was being prepared (The Smyths made a potato soup with french bread and cheese puffs).

Here the kids are making homemade butter for the French bread.

Chillin playing games

Saturday

We found the ice cave which actually wasn't a hike. When we got to the cave it was just a big room filled with ice so it was very slippery and cold.

Before we left to go home we went on a hike to Cascade Falls. It was absolutely beautiful and we all had fun. 

Megan tripped and face planted it. Poor Megan she was so sad.

Our beautiful family

After the hike we found a spot to have a picnic provided by the McBride family.

It was a great little vacation. We had so much fun spending time together as a family.
