family time in NC & UT!

We had to sell S's car from high school, affectionately named ZORKY :( He is basically like a family member so..

Sam's parents came into town & hosted an openhouse for us in McCall. So fun to have them!!

 HATCH REUNION 2016: Ocean Isle Beach, NC

So fun to spend time with my whole family for a week at Ocean Isle Beach!

Families that tie dye together stay together

Grandparents and grandkids. Is it bad that the crying kids are always my favorite part of these photos??

Me & siblings and parents! LOVE THEM!

Informal nose-pickin', tan bodied, messy hair, tie dye photo. Best kind, IMO

Introducing Samuel to my parents' garden in NC

THE BEACH is my happy place

Loved spending time with my nieces. This one called me "Aunt Pinky" but I think it's mostly because she forgot my real name. Haha, just kidding. Love my nieces and nephews!!

Ignore my ridiculous face. My Dad carved this amazing sculpture out of ocean clay!!

Nephews caught lots of crabs!!

Playing Splendor at the beach 

Enjoying the pier together!

Tie-dye dance party, that's the way we roll!

We stopped by the Battleship, NC with Matt & Cath on the way back. Sam was in heaven!

Chicken & waffles was revolutionary at Dame's in Durham

FROYO, obvs

Sisters! Only missing Emigee & all my sister in laws!

Had a ton of fun with these chill teenage nieces of my mine!! Love Olivia and Juliet!

We got in a car accident before leaving to come back & got this mad bruiser. Lasted for a few weeks! Luckily we were all okay!

 THOMPSON REUNION 2016: Bear Lake, UT

Kayaking on the lake!

Riding through town!

Relaxing on the beach

We also hiked up to an alpine lake and rope swing. Of course, I jumped in. Peer pressure always gets me...

Samuel & I stopped by the Logan temple and did a session. The temple resembles the Manti temple! :)

And HUCKLEBERRY SHAKES because obviously
