I need to finish the last half of our vacation. I am going to make it short and sweet.
After several days in Logan we got back in our car and headed down to Alton, Utah. Every year Thayne's mom side of the family has a family reunion. We rent a huge cabin and spend about 3 days with a whole lot of people. We usually bring our trailer but this year we took a room and it was so nice.
Every morning the boys woke up and did what? Fishing!
They actually caught enough fish that they fed almost everyone on Saturday night with fish and hot dogs. For those of you who don't know me, I don't eat fish. Yukerooo! So I drove TJ and his cousins to Kanab so they could go to the skatepark, and I went and bought myself a juicy little hamburger.
Alton is a very small town, maybe I should emphasize the word small. On Saturday night a cute girl from town came up to the cabin and asked if we had any teenagers. Of course we did. She invited them to the town hall for a church dance. They were very excited. We had about 17 kids we shoved into a 15 passenger van, and then myself and my sister inlaw and cousin took the kids down to the dance. Our group of kids just about doubled their numbers, so I know they were excited to see us there. It was a blast watching them learn all the fun dances. They all had fun.
A reunion is a reunion is a reunion.
There was not a huge exciting event that happened just the fact that we really enjoyed visiting with family. The boys played alot of football and we ate alot of food.
Thayne's grandma has been diagnosed with lung cancer and we knew this would be the last reunion with her, so there were alot of tears as everyone was packing up and leaving.
It was a fun time and the whole week of visiting with family made me realize how lucky I am to have alot of family that I enjoy spending time with.
We spent alot of time in our car traveling and in the end we still like each other.
Thayne and I get along great when we travel as long as he has a coke and a bag of sunflower seeds, and I have a warm blanket and I can sleep.
Next year I am thinking Hawaii!

I'm glad to hear they had luck fishing. Hey, count us in on Hawaii next year.
Just on more thought. While watching the slideshow I saw you and Thayne on the quad and had a flashback of when he used to pick you up for a date on his motorcycle, you guys are still looking good, I won't say anything about the gray hairs if you don't.
Reunions are bitter sweet for me. Hawaii would be awesome for you. There is so much to see and do especially for a Cali girl:)
Hawaii is nice, but precious time with family is priceless. I am glad you got to do that. I also got a chuckle about Thayne with his coke....Scott is the exact same!
