Family Reunion Joy!

THANK YOU MOM AND DAD FOR THE BEST REUNION EVER!

- It far exceeded every expectation
- There were bounteous amounts of the best foods
- The company was so enjoyable
- The house was kid/grandkid heaven
- I wish we took more pictures of everyone and everything instead of just a few of only Truman. 

But here's a summary of the event you were all part of!

We camped in Monroe for the "pre-reunion" and had a blast! It was joyous to sleep without a raincover and thus wake up to see Daniel and Ram climbing in the tree with Misty above us.



We went to the parade the next day to see the Carters. I don't usually like parades, but this one was great, especially Monroe 4th Ward superheros paving the path with courage!




Then the Perezes came and we all convened for some good adventures in Highland! 

Including: 

Playing in the river at Dry Canyon

Splash pad and twirly toys


A major highlight--catfishing!!

What we thought was a big fish from Andy on the second night....

,,,was trumped by Summer's on the third night. Look at that guy!!! Holy fish!! I believe it was Summer's reward for enduring the only horse that wanted a backscratch on that fateful day so many years ago. 

Also (see, I told you I took not enough pictures) we loved Cabela's, Battle Creek hike, Tichu, laser tag (girls win!), cookie of the day, shooting at our house and having all the peeps visit our mountain home, spending time with the most wonderful and darling nieces and nephews, seeing the world almost end but not really, staying up too late and getting up too early, ice cream, chocolate, desserts and cake, running in the mornings and so many endless other joyous moments of bonding and ebullience!! We are already praying that time will go so fast before we are all together again!
