This year our reunion was held in Pine Valley. We had two cabins and a group camp site reserved. Ray and Cathy were in charge but because Dan and I and Art and Apryl live here we ended up doing much of the work. It was great to have it close to Grandma so she could come and participate in all of the festivities.
It was great to have Nancy and most of her family there, Apryl, Aaron and Alesha and families there. Also Ray and Cathy, Ryan, Rebecca and kids, Ben and Emy and 9 kids, Jon and boys, Darrell and Eve and Lindsey and Carlton flew in Friday night and were able to enjoy several days of the fun with us. Danielle felt really bad not being able to come and almost jumped in the car with Alexa and drove down.

The reunion started with a temple session in the St. George Temple where Rebecca received her endowment as she prepares to go on her mission. The next morning the kids went to the temple baptistry and performed ordinances under the direction of Art and Apryl and Grandma witnessing. Then the men played ball and we packed up and headed up to Pine Valley. There was great food to be had, many Rook games to be played, and lots of hiking, biking, riding and late nights in between.
