We were able to attend the Leavitt Family Reunion a couple of weeks ago, and had a wonderful time. Don's parents, all 8 siblings, 7 spouses, and 26 of the 27 grandkids were all there. Syd had to miss it this year because of Youth Conference in our Stake. We stayed at Red Cedar Lodge up the canyon from Cedar City. There is one huge cabin and one smaller cabin with a large grassy area for tents, a really nice fire pit, and a small pond with boats a very short walk down the road. My sis-in-law Lyndee put so much work into it and it was great! (Thanks again, Lyndee!) The only "downer" was that Maddy was sick. She had gotten the swine flu, gotten better for a day, and then gotten sick again. We thought she was doing better, so we took her to the reunion. Poor thing really struggled. She wasn't eating anything, but was able to drink, but on Wednesday night, Don's brother, Russ, who is a paramedic and bro-in-law, Toran, who is a doctor, suggested that she should get an IV. Russ had brought his stuff with him and was able to do it right there so we didn't have to drive into town and pay the ER costs. She laid on our bed and we hung the IV from a log coat rack. She was so brave. That really seemed to help her, and we are so grateful for their knowledge and expertise. I'll post more about her condition in my next post (which you may read before this).
On the way home we stopped at a few "scenic overlooks." This one was overlooking Zion Canyon National Park from the "backside." You really can't see it in the picture, but it was absolutely beautiful.
Then we stopped at a park in the middle of Fillmore. They have a really nice rest area, and when we have the time it's a nice break for the kids to be able to play on the playground.
Britton was standing at the bottom of a slide telling Emma, "Ready...Set...Go!"
...and then laughing hysterically as she hit the ground and sent rocks flying.
Yeah....Maddy wasn't having too much fun at the park...poor thing.
