Labor Day Weekend Fun

Well, this Labor Day sure was eventful! First on Friday night we went up Payson Canyon to the BYU 103rd Ward Campout, where we stayed for dinner and games. We have great ward, and we are so lucky to have lots of friends here. The next morning we left for Pocatello for the Manwaring Family Reunion. Now this reunion was the farthest back reunion that I've ever been to. All family from Nathan's great-grandparents, Authur and Teresa Manwaring, were invited. That was a lot of people, and I am the worst at that side of the family tree, so it was neat to meet lots of new people, and have a great lunch catered by our own mom, Kathy Manwaring. I'm sure glad that we went to see everyone! From there we went to Franklin, where we stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Haworth, and played with Mike, Misty, and Tate Porter. The weather unfortunately did not corroporate as much as we'd hoped, but we did get to go on a four-wheel ride, our saddles are now in the barn up there ready for use, we helped Tate catch frogs and see a Great Horned Owl in the barn, and we got to see Grandpa's mission slides, from his mission to the Navajo people. What a little piece of heaven that farm is. Lady came too, and was such a good dog during the reunion, and as always, had a blast on the farm. She came too for a while on the four wheel ride, but then looked at us, and went back. We watched her from this hill, and she was the size of an ant, that's how far, but little did we know that she was covered from head to tail in burrs, so went back to the farmhouse to start pulling them out. What a smart little puppy.



Nathan with Mike's little kitten, it is an adorable kitten that just loves people:)

Going on a fourwheeler ride, it had rained earlier, and at the bottom of the big hill is the farm, so for Lady to turn around was kind of scary, I was worried she'd get lost.

The Great Horned Owl in Grandpa's Barn, pretty neat eh?

Kendra,

The reunion looks like so much fun! It always seems like you guys are attending family reunions - I think that is great! Especially when you have so many family members attend. You can tell family is a top priority for you and that is awesome! Glad to see things are going well for you guys.
