Family Time before Trevor and Kylee Leave for Conneticut

We knew that our plans for going on a family vacation one last time before Trevor and Kylee leave for Conneticut wasn't going to happen, especially with COVID going on right now. Plus with Bryan and Angel's job they need to stay in state, so California Beaches, were not in the plan. 

So I planned the weekend before they leave. We all met at the O.C. Tanner Amphitheater in Zion for the Siva Pasifika Polynesian Show and Dinner. 

After the show we drove to Mt Carmel Junction and stayed in their hotel there.

We have driven by so many times but never thought to stay there. We were planning on going to the Ranch but we knew there were a lot of family staying there, so I decided to get rooms for all of us to get a good night sleep. We made it just in time for breakfast with the family.

It was so good to be there with Bryan's brothers and their families. 

The kids enjoyed seeing the cousins and having a fun time on the Ranch.

Mom and Dad have built such a beautiful place for our Horlacher family to come and just relax and have fun. We love going to the Ranch.

After enjoying the day at the Ranch we headed back towards Hurricane to attend Main Ohana's Dance Concert at the Hurricane Fine Arts Building. We had dinner there and enjoyed the entertainment. It was so fun to watch Hannemann and Teancum and Irene dance for Tia.

After the dance concert we went back to our house and had a pool party and sleep over with everyone. I just love having all of my kids together. I love creating opportunities to gather my family together. We had so much fun together in the hot tub playing truth or dare and doing daring things.

Everyone spent the night and the next morning we had family pictures.

I had scheduled Lauren Wrigley to take our family pictures.

We took them at Tonaquint Nature Park at 7:45am Then we went to church at Cambria's Ward.

The following week was Mikelle & Hunter's Wedding, another opportunity to gather and attend a fun activity. We enjoyed dancing and eating rootbeer floats. 

The following day we had our last BBQ and swimparty for Kylee & Trevor before they leave the next morning. We had the Martin's come over along with Rudy's parents and Bailey's boyfriend, Jonah.

After all the eating and fun was had, we had a spiritual end of the evening with Father's Blessings for Trevor and Kylee. It was so nice to allow the spirit to be in attendance all together listening to the blessings. 

We sure are going to miss these 2 and can't wait till we can go and visit them in Conneticut.

May God be with them as they journey on their adventure in CT at Yale. 

So proud of them.

I love my FAMILY so much!!!
