Family Reunions

My Grandpa Boyack came down from Idaho for the family reunion. It was great to see him. My Grandpa stayed up in Idaho because she had to have emergency surgery on her bowels a couple of days before. We had dinner at my parents (my Uncle Todd and Olivea were there too).

Inside the indian tower. We went to a park in Alpine that had a church history house and and indian tower that was built to protect the family from indians. The kids were able to go inside and climb to the top and look out holes to see if Indians were coming.

Trying the stilts out

After the reunion, Makena begged Dad to go get wood to make her some stilts! She was a happy girl!

Makena and Kali got to hold a baby bird at Erma's house during the family reunion.

Yesterday we had 2 reunions. We had my mom's side in the morning for breakfast. We met at Erma's house and ate breakfast and then the kids got to ride on the horses, collect eggs from the chickens and play. I love sitting and talking with my Aunt Eileen! That afternoon we went to Alpine for my dad's side family reunion. The kids had lots to do with games and treats. So many people were there that I haven't seen for a long time. It was great to see so many people. I remember many times going to my Uncle Jack and Aunt Renee's house and teasing my Uncle Jack while he would try and get us and give us kisses…he hasn't changed! It has been a long time since I have seen them and it made me want to be more diligent and go out of my way to visit them more often. Great times!

This dog was very friendly and loved playing fetch. The kids loved throwing the ball to her.

With my Uncle Jack
I have very fond memories of going to my Uncle Jack and Aunt Renee (great uncle and aunt) house to visit my Great Grandma Lamb. Uncle Jack would always tease us and try to kiss us and Jacob and I would tease him right back. When I saw him again after years of not seeing him, he was the same. Still a tease which I love! 

Makena trying to use these walking sticks. She did a great job and picked it up really fast!

 We went to the Boyack family reunion today. It was down in Alpine Utah on a historic park. It was so fun to see so many of my relatives. I loved it! Some relatives I haven't seen in years, so to see them and talk with them was a lot of fun for me. We ate dinner, played games, went on a tour through a house and watch tower that was on the property. The guy that owned the house was a member of the church and he would go from Alpine and walk to Salt Lake City to work on the temple. What an example of faith for me. I am so glad I could go to the reunion!

After the reunion Makena begged Jarel to go get wood so he could make walking sticks for her so she could practice at home. What a good day to get the wood and make them for her!

Grandpa Boyack

Love when the kids get a long and play games with each other nicely!

My Grandpa Boyack came down for the Boyack family reunion. So nice to see him.
