Arizona Trip - Part 2

The Reunion:

The reason for our whole trip was to get together for a family reunion on my mother's side. We have never had a family reunion and most of the relatives I hadn't seen in probably 20 years or more and Chris had never met most of them. Most of the family lives in Arizona and New Mexico so we headed down there for the weekend. We had a really fun time getting reacquainted with relatives and meeting some for the first time. I wish we could have visited a little more, it went by so fast! I hope we can do it again soon. Our family has grown so much over the years. Thanks to all my family for their efforts to make it such a success.

Most of the family that came. The kids were all outside playing
(Thanks Bob!) while we watched a slideshow my sister put together.
We had about 58 out of 71 in attendance.

We played lots of fun games at the park:

Water balloon volleyball

More fun games at the park. This is my brother Doug and Tyler racing.
They are really twins born far apart.
They look alike, talk alike, act alike and even run alike.

Lauren getting soaked.

There was a beautiful moonrise/sunset as we drove out to
my cousin's property. I tried to capture it but my camera
does NOT do it justice. It was gorgeous!

I wish I had taken more pictures but I didn't. I borrowed some of these from my cousins. Wwe had a lot of fun with lots of swimming, games, yummy food and great company.
