My family reunion has come and gone!! I love my family reunions! We have them every 2 years and they are always over way too quickly! My brother Seth and I were in charge of this one!! I found a house on Bear Lake, UT/ID. It had 17 bedrooms each with their own bathroom, rec room, swimming pool, hot tub, swing set, vb net, basketball hoop, and a large grass area to play games on. After we got the place booked Seth took over the activities and I took over the food. I planned and shopped for food for 71 people for 11 meals and 4 dessert/late snacks!! I was stressed about planning it, because running out of food is the worst! But once the 5 carts and 1 flat cart of food was bought and loaded in our trailer the rest went really well! We had plenty of food and my family was great in signing up and chipping in with prep and clean up!! My brother rented a go-cart place one morning for our whole family, the guys and kids went paint balling the next day, and we toured a cave the 3rd full day. The rest of the time was spent in the pool, eating and playing games. My kids spent every second they could in the pool. Cooper who can't really swim hung out with his older cousins so by the second day was doing dives and front flips off the side of the pool with no floatation device! I love older boy cousins who make my kids instantly fearless!! I did not see my children hardly. The boys slept in the lower level and Peyton was always off who know where! Tyrel was a huge help though. I was busy in the kitchen the majority of the time and he was great to make sure all the kids needs were taken care of and pitch in the clean up when needed! We also stopped in and saw friends and family on the way through SLC and on the way back! We had fund hanging out with our friends Jeremey and Jamie and their kids and with Tyrel's cousin and his family! We wanted to stay and play, but decided to come home and rest up now that we are back to reality!! I didn't take too many pictures because a really good family friend came up and hung out with us and took pictures and video all week!! a

That sounds like a lot of fun! Go carts too! I wish you had more pictures but you were probably so busy.
So fun! I can't even imagine how much food that must have been.... insane! Great work!
