Family Reunion

The middle of August (yes, I'm slow) brought us our family reunion, which we had been planning for for quite some time.  Family members came from far and wide to join in the fun.  A few highlights:  The first day started off with a game of family jeopardy and a trip to the BYU Creamery.

Day 2 we took family pictures in the morning, which was not as painful as I expected.  In the afternoon we had a family talent show.  Abby and Allison sang Evening Prayer from Hansel and Gretel by Engelbert Humperdinck.  That's right, Engelbert Humperdinck.  McKay played Book of Mormon Stories on his African drum.  I played the piano.  Everybody gave a lot of fun performances.  Next we went swimming at the Lindon pool.  For dinner we went to the Brick Oven, which was tasty and also significant because that is where my mom and dad went on their first date 50 years ago.

Day 3 we went to Bridal Veil Falls in the morning.

Day 3 was also Mom and Dad's 50th anniversary, so that was the highlight of the day.  We had an anniversary dinner minus the grandkids at La Jolla Groves, and that turned out very nice.  We then went back to the hotel and had a party with everyone to celebrate Mom and Dad.  Congratulations on 50 years, Mom and Dad!

It was great to see everyone at the reunion.  We'll see you again in two years.
