Family Reunion at Heber Valley Camp

Jared and I had a lot of fun at the family reunion. Thank you, Krista and Rod, for organizing the whole thing. Here were some of the highlights for me:

-Playing Apples to Apples and Phase 10 with my nieces and nephews.

-All of the competitive Volleyball matches.

-Sitting back and cheering everyone on in the Ropes Challenge Course. What a confidence builder- Great job, guys!

-Listening to Andy's theories about bears getting into cabins.

-Listening to a symphony. . . (of SNORERS) and having to change cabins in the middle of the night so that I could get some shut-eye. Sorry, I'm a light sleeper.

-Seeing 2 little boys, a Senior Citizen, and a grown man simultaneously turn around every time somebody called for "Tom/Tommy/Thomas".

-Being a lone Ute in Cougar Country. As soon as I put my U of U Alumni hooded sweatshirt on I looked around me and noticed that about eight or nine people including the Noel kids, some Rogers kids, and Rod were all wearing BYU shirts. I forgot to take a picture of it!



-Mom turning to me with a wink after witnessing a number of "boos" and disappointed looks in my direction and saying, "Thank You for supporting my Alma Mater!"
The younger grandkids need to know that before Grandpa taught for years at BYU he graduated from the U as well. Too bad Will and Natasha weren't there to give me some additional Red support.



-Grandpa/Dad waking up sleeping members of the "teenage cabin" on Friday morning by holding a plate of french toast and scrambled eggs under their noses and exclaiming in a singy-songy voice "The Food Train is Leaving! Get On Board!"

-The grumbles and looks on the faces of those in the teenage cabin while being roused from their slumber.

-Learning how to play Quiddler. I'm up for a game anytime.

-Smores and Hot Chocolate!

Hopefully we can get some actual pictures from the reunion added soon.
