Perrins Family Reunion

A Couple weeks ago we had my family reunion. It was so much fun. I don't realize how much I miss my family until I see them. The reunion was too short. For our reunion this year my sister Lea Ann and brother Nathan were in charge. They booked us 3 cabins that all 70+ of us stayed in Island Park, ID by Yellowstone. They had a survivor theme where we were broke up into 9 teams and every night before dinner had competitions, which were hilarous. During the day we were free to do whatever our own families wanted to do. Two of the days we drove through the park taking in the sites. But after a total of 4 days in the car (two to drive up there, two in the park) the kids needed a break from the car so we went to bear world for the day. The kids loved it. First you drive through this wildlife area where bears and other animals are roaming and even come up to your car. Then there was a petting zoo which was a fenced area where all sorts of animals roamed around and you could go up to any of them . Then they spent the rest of the day going on all these kiddie rides over and over. Then the last day we just hung around the cabins fishing and swimming. Every night after the kids went to bed we would sneak to the other cabins and play games as adults until midnight or 1 every night. Then finally on our way home went back through Yellowstone and drove out to go through Grand Tetons national park. The Tetons were gorgeous. I always love my family reunions. They are a nice blend of a fun family vacation and a reunion, two things I don't get much of, spending time with Tyrel and spending time with my family. Can't wait to see what my brothers decide to do next reunion.
