Reunion!

So, this last weekend my dad's side of the family had a reunion here in the Sandy area. Almost everyone in the family was able to make it. (Everyone except 3 of my siblings and 1 of my cousins and another cousin's husband). So, it was a big group! We had about 40 people or so and it was a lot of fun. My dad is the oldest of 6 kids and they all have a bunch of kids ranging in age from about 5 to 29. So, it went from Friday night until Monday night. Friday, we ate dinner in a park and then my aunt had set up an obstacle course thing, so we split up into teams and did that. It was pretty challenging! We had a good time. That night, Jeremy and I had the teenage girls stay over at our house, so that was a party!
Then, Saturday, we went to Seven Peaks water park for the day. It was a nice hot day so it felt good to play in the water. They have a bunch of water slides there and a wave pool, a lazy river, and some other fun things. We were most entertained by my grandparents, ages 77 and 76, who went on almost every ride. Pretty incredible. :) They always amaze us. Here is a picture of all the men who went on the very scary orange slide. It was called "Free Fall" and that's exactly what it looked like. I thought for sure they would all fall off and die, but they didn't! Yea!

So, that was Saturday. Then on Sunday, we went to church and had dinner at my Aunt Laura's house. Here's a picture of the teenage girls in their backyard:

So...then on Monday we had a delicious breakfast at my grandparents house and then we all ended up chatting so long that we were there for lunch too. That night, we all went to Cafe Rio for dinner and then went up the canyon for a little campfire. It was a fun way to end the reunion. We sang camp songs, roasted marshmallows, and had a good time visiting.

So, we had a great time! My parents and Heidi stayed until Tuesday. It's so fun being around people you love and who love you! We missed those who weren't there! Maybe next time. So that's what we've been up to lately. By the way our garden is growing like crazy. We've picked about 20 zucchini so far and they just keep coming! I'll post some new pictures sometime soon.
