On July 3rd at Nicholls Park in Fruit Heights my Dad's side of the family (The Weaver's) all got together for a family reunion. Everybody was there except for Stacy and her family, they are at boy scout camp. Kate came from Taiwan, Ryan and his family came from Kansas, Rod and Joy even came down from Portland. To be honest I was dreading it, it was supposed to be 100 degrees that day and I am just too allergic to hot, sun and sweating to be able to deal with that kind of heat. But I would have never missed it and I am happy to report that I didn't die, in the shade it was very tolerable. My Dad and Rod we in charge of the grills and they were hopping with hamburgers and hot dogs. Everybody else brought salads or chips or desserts. I was in charge of a couple "Minute to Win It" games and I found a face painter to come for the kids. The kids loved all of it, I think. They played the games several times but I am sure it had something to do with the fact that Karen had a great big thing of toys for prizes. And since everybody wins, everybody gets a prize. It was really fun to see everyone and hang out like that, we grew up doing a lot of things together and as our family has grown it makes it much more difficult to get together. Basically the only place we fit all together anymore is at a park. We are going to have a "Cousins Party" on the 16th, before Kate goes back to Taiwan. They are always fun and I am sure there will be much I WON"T be able to report!

That was so much fun, we really need to do it every year instead of every couple of years.
