Once our Preunion was finished in early August, we joined up with the rest of my extended family on my Mom's side for a fun reunion based in Herriman, UT. There were about 45 of us there, give or take, and almost everyone stayed in this beautiful 9-bedroom house.
I don't have very many pictures from this week because my camera was on the fritz and I wasn't in a happy place with my phone either. We had lots of fun in the house, with lots of kids running around and playing, watching movies in the theater room, and sneaking into the hot tub. We went on walks and runs and hikes. At night we played cards (Up and Down the River is a MUST at these family reunions) and stayed up talking and laughing. My Great-Uncle Jerry traveled from Maryland to join us and we enjoyed having him there. Ben and I stayed up late talking to him one night, and Luke seemed to really take to Jerry. He even had his own pet name for him. He called him Coach.
We spent one day at Temple Square. It was really cold outside, though, so we didn't tour around as much as we might have. We saw an organ recital in the Tabernacle, perused Deseret Book, and took a few pictures.
My grandmother was celebrating her 89th birthday during the reunion, and received some special attention from the Salt Lake Bees' Mascot when we attended a game one night. A birthday salutation showed up on the scoreboard as well, but my camera being as uncooperative as it was at the time, I didn't get a picture of it.
Wow!
