The Willis Family reunion called this summer and we joyfully headed to Centerville, Utah for all the fun and unforgettable memories. As part of the activities, we got to hike the famous (and unforgiving) Timpanogos Mountain to the entrance of the caves which was a 1500ft climb almost straight up! The inside of the caves was about 45 degrees with stalagmites and stalactites forming at a rate of 1/10" each year, thereby taking over a million years to open up one cave- whew! The boys found it all almost too much to take in, particularly the vertical climb up and down the mountainside, but we managed to get a few semi-smiles out of them.

Upon receiving our photo album with pictures from Temple Square inside, we had to search them out. And of course, the older boys thought it was a race and were determined to beat their cousins at this game. In the end, we learned even more about church history and had a wonderful time with the whole family!
