Reunion Fun!

It seems like I just can't stay caught up this summer - so busy! It has been about 3 weeks but I'm finally getting around to posting about the DeVries Family Reunion we had. It was a fun weekend at the Reservoir - playing in the water, roasting marshmallows, playing Capture the Flag, and too much yummy food! I got to ride a Jet Ski for the first time ever - what fun! And my nephews were teaching me the proper technique for Tubing - I sure used some muscles that haven't been used for a while! Here are some of my favorite pictures - I only took 400 so it wasn't too hard to narrow it down ;-P

We played Capture the Flag Saturday morning - it got a little too crazy for the little kids but the big kids (including David, his brothers, and even his Mom) sure had fun!

Then this last weekend we went to Star Valley to spend some time with some of my family. It was also my 10 year High School Reunion so we spent a couple of hours there catching up with some old friends. There were a lot of friends that didn't show up so I was bummed that I didn't get to see them - it's been the whole 10 years since I've seen some of them! We did have fun while in the valley, though. We rode horses and 4-wheelers, went to the fair parade, and enjoyed the beauties of Star Valley! Even Trysten enjoyed the 4-wheeler rides, they put him right to sleep. We took a nice long one on Saturday - we packed a lunch and left right from the house and headed up to Cottonwood Lake. We went up to the slide area where Alan and two others were killed in an avalanche in January 2008. Then we found a nice little spot by a stream to enjoy our picnic. After that we headed back to the lake where we skipped stones and just relaxed on the shore before heading back. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the weekend...

Brianna was jumping on the tramp...

...and Trysten thought it was quite funny!
