Greer Family Reunion

A couple weeks ago we went to the McAdams Family Reunion in Greer Az. (It's a really small, pretty town up in the mountains) There were 29 people - 15 kids. We loved being up in the mountains and enjoying the fresh mtn. air and the scenery of the west! We had a good time seeing fam- Mill has 4 cousins within 6 month of her so she had a blast! She loves to be a show off to anyone who'll give her attention so she liked to play with the kids who were a little older.

That's Mill in the Back pack. We borrowed it from some friends in the ward. I thought Millie would hate it (she generally hates things that restrain her in any way) but she LOVED it! after we came home she was constantly requesting "bag! bag! and wanted me to carry her around the neighborhood.

Some of the fam.
There was a little creek out back and the little kids loved sitting on the bridge and throwing rocks in! (millie and rachel)
We got our pictures taken and the photographer brought some props along so some of the girl cousins dressed up like princesses. Mill wanted the fireman's hat though, but was still in a grumpy mood as you can see.

They had a horse tire swing that was one of the highlights for mill.

We saw several snakes and frogs and Horn toads. Millie loved looking at them and quickly touching them... but didn't want to hold them. But these last couple weeks she will randomly hold her hands out- cupped, and say in a really high voice "come on tiny Frog" then she will scream excitedly and laugh like it is sooo funny. She cracks me up.

she is getting so old and soo so cute (well, maybe not "getting" on the cute part cause she's always been cute, but definitely maintaining cuteness. :) ) I am way excited to come out and see her! Also...PLEASE get her on film talking about the tiny frog! and post it on here. We need to do a skype soon. maybe sunday if we get back from george in time?
