Family Reunion

 

Patrick's Mom's Family reunion was just up American Fork Canyon this year. We had planned on camping up there but we forgot to find a babysitter for D'Ohgee (even though we could have taken her with us) and Lyndsey was having a little family reunion party of her own and we didn't want to miss that! So we just woke up early on Saturday and spent the whole day up there. We got there before everyone was awake to help cook breakfast. It is such a feast! We had hashbrowns, eggs, pancakes, bacon, and sausage. When we got there is was really cold but itstarted to heat up quick so after breakfast was all cleaned up we went to play some games.

 

We played volleyball, kickball, and duck duck squeeze/soak. It was really fun. It felt good to get a little wet. After the games we ate lunch and had free time. Patrick panned for gold and found a few flakes and then he played horse-shoes. 

 

The big deal the whole reunion was that Patrick's Uncle Reynold had every single one of his kids at the reunion. It was a total surprise. Some came from California to see him. There were a few that I hadn't ever met before and they are so nice! I hope I get to see them again. Patrick's Aunt Camille and two of her daughters watched G.K. so I could get in a couple of games of Nertz (love that game). He was So tired but I really think he was loving the pretty girls too much to fall asleep.

 

Before we left we had to share a marshmallow or two. we were such a mess. It was nice to be so close that we could just go up for the day.
