Hanging with THE COCHRANS!!!

We were so glad to finally meet up with family. We had saved the last 9 days of our vacation for the Cochran family. Now this is Haydens Aunty were staying with...His Dad and karen are brother n sister...They live in Vernal Utah..known for its fossils and dinosaurs and the stomping ground for all the Cochrans.

We arrived into Vernal on the 3rd of July at about 11pm and Mitch n Krissy were there to greet us. Ok Aunty Karen had a nana nap and slept thru the alarm...arrived late but she arrived and it was so good to see them. Trish as well. So On our 3 hour journey home...we were able to catch up and fill each other in on the haps with the family. But, get this, Aunty Karen is a trooper. We get into Vernal at about 2.30 am right and she's up at 5.30am pounding the pavement with her friend. And then she makes us a pancake breakfast just to start the day. It was sooooo good to have a decent meal. Yummy!!! finally something healthy and salads. We were just craving healthy foods. Mind you we were with the right people for all things healthy.

Fourth of July on the boat.

Mike and his son Jacob...

Now, Hayden originally didn't want to get wet, but with the cousins egging him on...He caved. And loved the experience. Most of the time he was freaking out. And when you have (Adrenalin pumped) Mike sitting between you, you could almost feel Haydens anxiety. But like a man he took it and loved it. Good for you honey. As for me...Just couldn't stop laughing...even when I stacked it. I loved it. Must invest in these one day.

What do you get when you put Cochran boys and a fast jetboat together?

THIS

Isn't it nice that after years of marriage you still feel this way with each other.

From the Lake we headed into the township for the fourth of July fireworks. We kinda looked like the walking dead when we go there but the atomsphere was great, people setting off fireworks left right and centre. haydee was just having a ball.

Steve and Brian awaiting the festivites.

How wacked out did we look huh???Good Times.

Ya know...when your hanging with the Cochrans, its all about family. No matter what background your from or what political views you have, they are always accepting of you and will love you for who you are... We had a great day. And it was a great prelude of things to come.
