We had such a fun time at Erik's family reunion. Aside from his sisters Kristina, and Lois and her family, who was great with child and living in Texas, everyone showed up for three days of relaxing, eating, enjoying nature, and family bonding. We went here:
It was beautiful:
We had a few cabins to fit the numerous family members. This one was ours:
We really enjoyed being with everyone: playing games, talking, playing pool, and hanging out with cousins. Caleb is lucky enough to be one of four 5-year-old cousins. One morning when we started walking from our cabin to the main one, we saw a HUGE moose nibbling on the bushes. We waited until he was finished with his breakfast to go get ours.
Mexican train dominoes and Rummikub were the favorite games. You have to bend down pretty far to reach the pool table when you're over 7 feet tall.
I braved a hike with two brothers-in-law and assorted nieces and nephews. It was pretty arduous--three hours long!--but SO beautiful.
One of the days we went to Lake Jordanelle near Heber City. It was pretty windy but still lots of fun. The older kids took turns on the jet ski, and a few of the uncles took turns giving canoe rides to the little ones.
It was a great reunion! We can't wait for the next one in two years!!!
Good thing there will probably be wedding bells to bring us all together before then...Oh, and by the way, everyone in the following picture is just standing on the ground. No boxes or benches are stood upoon. I TOLD you they were tall! I'm in the orange shirt (yes, the SAME one from the other pictures...I did laundry, OK?). Gotta love feeling petite for once...

Your trip looks like so much fun! Family reunions are fun. I love your collages..I need to figure out how to make those : )
picasa, baby! It's free and totally easy to make collages. You should try it!
It looks beautiful. Glad you had the chance to enjoy some time away. The Hansens are tall too. I enjoy feeling like a shorty from time to time.
