We made a trip out of the drive up to Richfield, UT, for the Trexler family reunion in July. First we spent a very relaxing July 4 in Flagstaff. Then the next day we went to Lowell Observatory for the first time. This is the observatory in Flagstaff where the (dwarf) planet Pluto was discovered. During the day, we got the "Mars Tour" and explored the exhibits and beautiful grounds. As the sun began to set, we went back to look through some of their many telescopes. Through this telescope (in the photo below, John is helping Luke), we saw Saturn with its rings. It was awesome!
The next day we drove through Wupatki National Monument, which is definitely worth a visit. Don't miss the blowhole! I would recommend
against touring it in the middle of the day in the middle of July, though.

We finally reached our destination, and had a great time with many family members we hadn't seen in ages (or at all!) at the reunion. Here's a photo of those representing the David Trexler branch:

And I also wanted to share this photo of David/Dad and four of his siblings (Gerry, Sandee, Kathy, and Glenn).

There were group photos taken of everyone in attendance, but I haven't seen them yet. If anyone knows where they are, I'd love to see them!
