Presenting...
Oh where to begin?! The J&P Payne clan met in Monticello, UT for our annual family gathering this year. We stayed in an old grist mill that was converted into a Bed & Breakfast with a bunch of rooms. And oh did we have fun! Why Monticello? Well first of all it was fairly central in regards to where everyone lives, but second- there is SO MUCH TO DO around there! Like Canyon Lands!
Notice the flip-flops we all wore? The couple who got out of their Subaru with their hiking clothes, hiking poles, and appropriate hiking boots and wool socks with sufficient wide brimmed hats for their heads looked at us a little crazy as we piled out of our mini van in sandals were off. Yep, we LIVE in a dessert.
This sandy soft stuff in nothin'.
Oh there was so much to see and do and not enough time.
Guess who we met on Sunday while walking to church?!
Give me a kiss!
Come on, just one little kiss?!
After all the millions of times of driving past this jail cell (the first one in the county) we finally stopped and took a picture. I wonder where I could order one of these...
P.S. Not pictured- so much! The Kid Olympics, the fun meals and late night laughs, the Minute to Win It games, the pool, the family photo shoot of EVERYONE!P.P.S. Also not pictured- the nearly 2 weeks prior spent at Grandma and Grandpa Jackson's where I did not pull out the camera even once. :(

Jason is wearing the coolest hat.
That's a beautiful spot! And the kids are so cute! I sure miss you guys!
So cool! What a great reunion!
...and you look gorgeous Joy! Your hair is so long. I was hoping to win our little "sister's hair growing contest" but I see I've got tough competition.
