This reunion was great fun!  In addition to our Family Carnival, Talent Shop and Relay Day, we zip-lined, paintballed, spelunked, hiked, dutch-oven cooked, played volleyball and millions of games...and soaked in all good time with family.  The time flew by...

One evening Ryan set up a really sweet Anniversary evening for us.  He created an outdoor dining table (table cloth over tree stump, dishes, candles, wildflowers in a jar) and had Aunt Julie serve us drinks, Grandpa serve us dinner and Uncle Braden serenade us:  Annies song, our song.  He's so thoughtful and gushy!

Really don't think I could sum up all of these good times!  We were so hungry for some family time with the Reynolds...we hadn't seen Daman, Morgan & their family for ages, nor had we seen Reese & Kat's family for a long time (hadn't met their new twins, either).  We took advantage of every minute with them, and still it wasn't enough time.  We miss them all, every day!
