A couple days after we arrived at Bear Lake these two sweeties and I took the drive back to Salt Lake to meet our girl coming in from England (more about what she was doing there back HERE and HERE). We were SO excited and SO on time (ha! that’s sometimes tricky for us) but…
We all linger as long as we can after the reunion. Some years it’s just the moms who stick around after their husbands have to leave. Other years we get some of the boys too. But who wouldn’t want to greedily hold on to sparkling days like these? I love this series of cousin-sand-bonding-time:…
This year it was Eli and Julie’s turn to host our annual reunion (we rotate from oldest to youngest). They did such a fabulous job and put a lot of work into it despite the fact that they just barely moved from DC to NYC and have been busy as can be. So grateful for…
We joined the pre-reunion party up at the Lake after our quick stay in Salt Lake (HERE). We made it a real party by finally whipping up a birthday cake for Grace (yes, it was clear back HERE in June, but I was gone to the BBS conference and she never got a cake). We thought it…
Some day I am going to be able to sit down and go through the hundreds of pictures I took at Bear Lake this year and share our latest reunion and a few more reasons why I am so head-over-heels in love with that place (and with my family too). (Yowzas that is a long…
Part one is HERE (bonfire music kick-off, real-life-relay, fear factor) and part two is HERE (minute-to-win-it and family pictures). Here’s the wrap-up… Food We eat well at Bear Lake. I know food at reunions can be done much more simply than we do it up there, but for some reason or another we happen to…
Minute to Win It Family pictures We do family pictures every reunion. This year we decided to do them at the lake again. The only trouble is that right as soon as we got ready and headed down there, a huge wind came up. Which really threw us all for a loop. But we knew…
Noah and Kristi were the masters of ceremonies at the reunion this year (we move down by age each year). Those two are one heck of a dynamic duo, I tell you. Let’s take a closer look at that schedule: It’s a unique work of art every summer, compliments of my sister Charity. As you…
I keep meaning to wait to post this until I get all the pictures ready to explain all the ins and outs of the reunion but I can’t seem to get to that so I’m posting this first. I love Elle’s eye for catching things. She has taken over my camera which kills me because…
