Family Reunion Day 3

Saturday was the last day of the reunion. We hung out at Candis' all day and had a great time together!
A couple people got up really early and went into Provo to see hot air balloons. I was not one of them, but Deveny did and so I stole this picture from her :) Some other of the pictures in this post are from her too.

The boys loved playing FIFA and ARMS on the Switch.

We tried so virtual reality.

Candis rented a blow up obstacle course slide.

The kids loved it!


Lila, Avery, Grace, Eva, and Kenzie enjoying otterpops.

The girls were trying to run up the slide while holding hands. It took a lot of tries, but they were eventually successful.

Coleman had told Candis at the beginning that the one thing he wanted to do, was play Nine Square. She hadn't been planning on it, but when she heard that she arranged to borrow the poles. Landon, Jason, and Doug set it up, with some help from Asher.

Jackson organized ping pong and pickleball tournaments. 

Doug was hot and needed to cool off :)

Feeling much better!

Lincoln and Coleman. They really wanted to pose like this, and it took awhile for them to both be ready, but it was worth the effort :)

Jackson and Mckay ready to play pickleball.

9 Square all set up.

Shawnee brought everything needed for rock painting.


They did some relay races on the obstacle course.

Jason playing ping pong with an audience watching him.

He was playing against Candis.

Me talking to Donna with Shayla in the background.

More 9 Square

More rock painting.

Darrin and Shawnee brought some sparklers for the kids to do.


It's a blurry pictures, but it still reminds us that there was another boy vs. girl soccer game.

They had to have shoot out to determine the winner. Almost everyone on the teams had to try to score before Lincoln finally did it on his second shot.

Jackson's brackets for the tournaments he organized.

Kenzie and Coleman were not excited about being up early and driving all day home.

It was such a fun reunion! It's always so great to see everyone!

Family Reunion Day 2

On day 2 of the reunion most everyone hiked Timpanogos Cave. I had cut my toe the night before and it hurt to walk so I stayed home, but everyone who went had a great time! Coleman said he liked the cave part, but not the hike to the cave :) Some pictures are from Doug and some from Deveny.



















Everyone came back for lunch, then most everyone went to float the Provo River. Kenzie and I stayed back this time. I was worried about my toe, and Kenzie was nervous about floating the river. I was a bit nervous about floating it too, so I didn't care much about missing it. There didn't seem to be any pictures of the floating, but everyone had a great time. They said the scariest/worst part was driving from the place they parked and would exit the river to where they were going to enter the river. They squished 23 people in Candis' van. Even Doug was worried they might tip over. But luckily they survived :)

Kenzie and I read (she started and finished The Fantastic Mr. Fox). She jumped on the trampoline and had trampoline wars by her self. We sat in the hammock. We walked to the park and she played for awhile. We played Guess Who.
