Family Reunion 2008


We had a huge family reunion with my mom's side of the family at a ranch in Utah last weekend. We all had a great time. These are only a few pictures from it because I haven't gotten my husband's on my computer yet. But, it covers the bases. The ranch was a hive of activity and fun. There was fishing, boating, archery, swimming, miniature golf, frisbee golf, horseback riding, hikin, a dance DJ'd by my little brother and more. There were only 113 of us at the reunion and can you believe that's not even all of us. Three of my siblings and their families were absent as were a few others who couldn't join us for various reasons. This is a generic iphoto slideshow but I did strip out our family song from a little video byte I took. It's called "Roots" and it's part of all of us now. It's always amazing to me (and to my husband) the closeness we all feel as a family at these reunions. It's amazing we all get together every other year even after our grandparents have passed on. It's amazing to see the heritage that one couple can create. And it's wonderful to have such a great family. I am so grateful and so blessed.
