We had our family reunion the 18, 19, and 20 of July. Matt and Shani were in charge this year, and we had it at Old Folks Flat in Huntington Canyon. We got there Fri. and after we set up camp had a nice lunch and a special treat from Erick and Karen. They had crushed a cooler full of ice and we had snowcones.
Wow, did that hit the spot on a hot day. We played a little horse shoes, and just visited. It was so warm during the day, but that night some of us nearly froze.
The next day, we had so much fun. They had picked an Olympic theme to go along with the summer Olympics this year, and first, we had a Obstacle Course, then a Disk throw, then a Tug of war, finishing up with a Sponge Relay. We laughed so hard, and everyone was such good sports. We had the usual bottles filled with candy, to guess how many pieces were in each . Gummy bears, Swedish Fish, and Bubble Gum filled the bottles, and the tummies of the winners. We ate lots of good meals, provided by each family, and had fun around the campfire, singing and doing skits, and of course roasting marshmellows. That night we did our regular drawing that the kids enjoy so much.Jace won the beautiful quilt that Wylene made from the blocks we did last year. We had a little cloud cover that night and it wasn't as cold, so we all slept better.
Sunday we put out a Geocache, like we do each year. And after our lunch we had our annual Interview by Grandpa to see what each one has done during the year. We were sad at the end as He reminded us to go see Grandma Dessia because she was not doing good. How glad we are that we did, as the next night she slipped away. Thanks Matt and Shani, and all those that participated and made so many memories for us.
