Ah! The Family Reunion



WOW! We had a great time. Let's do it again next week. Soda Springs is awesome. The cabins were great (except we had to be split apart into two houses). The view fantastic. It was so cool to just walk out the back door and hop in a canoe or kayak! We loved the talent show - Tripps singing, Micah's debut on ukelele with Sarah singing, Runyans making us laugh with funny legs and torsos, Jared and Debbie with the Lyons in their rendition of Cotton Eyed Joe, Josh's family sharing their talents via PowerPoint and popping their surprise on us (Josh you totally lied to me when I asked you earlier). The rocket launch was a hit. You guys are the best.
The food was delicious - thanks everyone for pitching in. The kids were all adorable and well behaved. Looking down on the fireworks display at Donner Lake was totally memorable. First time I have ever been "above" the fireworks - even if watching atop granite boulders at 7600 feet was a bit scary. I am sad it is all over! What will dad and I do for the rest of the summer?? Oh yeah - maybe relax a bit :)
I don't know if I can wait another 2 years
for a reunion. I have an idea - let's do Disneyland next year? Who's up for it?
We sure love all ya'll. You are the best. We are overwhelmed with gratitude for our family. What a team!!

We had a great time. Thanks for all the effort that went into making the reunion memorable. We should compile everyone's pictures. I'll volunteer.

Yeah - I want to compile everyone's pics and make a photo album of each reunion. I tried to get shots of everyone, but I see I missed lots. So here is a call to all to email a file of all FR photos. Thanks!

My boys and I all had such a good time! Thank you for working to accomodate everyone's needs. I think it worked out very well and can't wait to do it again.

It looks like it was a great time. Our reunion/party is in 13 days in Durango, Colorado. This is a place you will need to look into. I've gone there with Trav's family adn introduced my family 3 years ago. We are going back. Anyway, I love to keep up on what y'all do and see pictures of everyone. It makes me happy. You have a family that really embodies the gospel teachings and I'm grateful to be associated with you, even related!!

Fun times! So glad we could come and spend time with everyone. Can't wait 'til the little boys are old enough to run around together.

Durango's only 4 hours from here - we could do that! We had dinner there on our way home Friday night.
