Family Reunion

 Over Father's Day weekend we attended for the first time the Rondo and Lois Manwaring Family Reunion (Nathan's grandparents from his Dad's side).  It was in Hurricane, UT, and we were lucky enough to be able to rent a "villa" at the Sand Hollow Resort for all of our immediate family too.  It was quite fun, games, catching up with cousins, family history lesson, singing time, and of course great food! The reunion part was held on a homestead belonging to one of Nathan's aunt's family, Helen Manwaring.  It was a fun place, with some farm animals, a place big enough for the kids to run around, and they even had pecan trees, so James and Jack joined the cousins in cracking nuts on the driveway with rocks like monkeys.  Then we could enjoy some fresh pecans, quite tasty I might add.

Nathan and I won!  But the egg did break over me and it got in my hair,

 it was kinda funny, and we went to a water park afterwards so it was washed out soon after.

Bring on the madness!
