O'Reilly Family Luau



Emma drove with us to California. It was so fun driving with her! And also it was so helpful to have someone in the back seat to help with Riley :) This is outside of the St. George Temple. 
St. George Temple
We got some cute sunglasses for Riley in St. George. She's looking pretty sassy.
We went on a little hike while we were in St. George. Riley LOVED it! She kept kicking her legs up and down with enthusiasm and squealing/screaching with joy. It was so adorable. She loves being outside!
Really great to have Emma with us! 
Riley loving every second of the hike!
Weird pose in a "cave"

Ryan and his little girl
Family pic. Look at that cute baby's face! She really was so happy on the hike! Love it

It was pretty seeing St. George all lit up below us.
Of course we had to stop at Miguel's JR right when we got to Corona :) We're totally crazy about that place.
Brinkley and Riley. All the little kids kept asking to hold her. So sweet :)
Riley in her baby bikini! I was dying.


Emma and O'Reilly. She loved Emma and hung out with her the whole time!
Shane and JD

Oh you know, just lounging around.
She has to wear shades because the paparazzi will NOT leave her alone. 

Love this pic of O'Reilly!
Mom and her great-nephew Jackson
Dad going off the slide. Woo-hoo!
That face!
In the words of my Grandma O, "That swimsuit is not up to church standards...So you better wear it while you still can!" Ha! So funny :) 
 BB's son, Jackson!
Sweet little guy

Getting ready for the wild animal show!


The kids are excited to see the wild animals!
Shane and McKay
Mom and Emma
Oh and DeVirl From "The Single Ward" was there too :) We thought that was pretty cool!
First animal in the show, a cool Porcupine!
Did you know you can PET a PORCUPINE?! I had no idea! As long as you brush in one direction (from front to back), you can touch it! If you go the other way, you'll get stuck!
Iguana
I think this pic is pretty cool! Look at those claws
Everyone is pretty interested in this guy. They're in line to pet his tail. 
 Uncle Mikey, Mom, and Bronson stroking the iguana

Big tortoise!
OMG
I don't love snakes! But they're cool to see!
That's one brave woman...That thing is wrapping her up like a sack lunch...
These are two brave girls! Getting ready to hold the snake!
Is it a Boa constrictor? Or an anaconda? Or??? I honestly can't remember what kind it is.

I don't remember what this thing is called either but it's pretty cool!

Look at that little guy's face. He means business. Don't mess. 

Alligator! 
Pretty amazing.
And then we all got the surprise of the day!!!! A camel!!!
It was so hilarious//exciting/fun to see this huge live camel hanging out in Uncle Kelly's backyard!
Of course everyone needed to get pictures with her. 
This camel is actually PREGO. Good luck my friend.

Cuddles with Daddy while waiting in line for the In-N-Out truck!
Ryan just looks super hot here.

All you can eat In-N-Out. Mmmmm :)
O seriously LOVED on Emma the whole time!
ha so cute!
She also kept asking to hold the baby! :) 
Asking to hold the baby again :) 

Luau dancers
The missionaries doing the Haka. Pretty funny!

Everyone learning to Hula dance


This guy was new this year and did some New Zealand warrior dance thing and...
It. Was. Awesome. He was a great performer.
Fire Dancer!
NEVER gets old. I am always so amazed what this guy can do. 

This was the highlight of the party for me. It was an impromptu comedy group and I loooooved it!
They played a bunch of interactive improv games and it was hilarious!

"DeVirl" was one of the improv actors. Of course we had to get a picture with him!

Uncle Kelly's new Tesla!
This was probably Ryan's favorite part, going with Uncle Kelly on a test drive. It felt like I was on a ride at an amusement park, that thing really accelerates CRAZY fast. It was awesome!
On the way home we stopped to get a little Miguel's JR...OK A LOT of Miguel's JR. We needed to fill our ice chest :)
We ordered 20 BRC burritos to go. They had to put it in as a catering order :) Oh and of course we got a couple of pints of hot sauce because it's just not the same without being drowned in hot sauce. I could drink that stuff. 
We stopped back in St. George at the Van Wagoner's home down there and my family stayed with us there. We shared some Miguel's and Riley shared some arm sucking.
I guess Emma's arm tastes good too :)  
We went on another hike while in St. George. This time in Snow Canyon.
The gymnast.
The gymnast again.
Utah is so pretty!


Everyone took turns with Riley girl. I started out with her, then Ryan took her in the baby carrier, then my mom held her and next my dad wore her in the baby carrier. We all need our Riley time. 
She looks pretty happy to be with Grandpa huh?
On the way back to PG Ryan and I took a little detour up Kolab Canyon. Utah is beautiful!

Stopping on some random dirt road for this little gal to eat. I think she's pretty happy to be out of her carseat!
She's definitely trying to kiss Mommy, not trying to eat me. In case you were wondering :) 
At the end of the drive Riley was SO over the car and I sat in the back with her to keep her company. She was really happy to be home!
