Family Reunion

This past weekend Christy and I attended the Jay and Arlean Beasley Family reunion in Idaho Falls. The reunion started on Thursday. Christy and I couldn't leave till after work on Friday. We actually ended up leaving at 12:45am on Saturday. We got to the campgrounds just in time for breakfast. After breakfast there were activities and games and visiting. We had yummy hot dogs and hamburgers for lunch. After lunch we had the auction. Much money was raised from the auction. Mom bought two crocheted baby beanies. One is pink and one is green. I bought a jar of plum jam that mom knocked off the bench and it broke. Luckily no one was cut with flying glass and Milton got busy right away cleaning it up. Somehow I ended up with a second jar of jam. Thanks for the secret elf who was looking after me :) Saturday evening we all met at the church for a catered dinner and dancing. Dinner was yummy and we had so much fun dancing. You should see Aunt Michelle do the sprinkler!!!! We all got out there on the dance floor and let loose. It really was so much fun. It's been a long time since I have attended an activity like this. We were celebrating Grandma and Grandpa's 60 th wedding anniversary. Sunday we all went to church with grandma and grandpa. We more than doubled their ward with our family. It was nice to attend church with so many family members. After church we all went to the park for lunch and the birthday bash. Christy and I left before the birthday bash. We had such a long drive home and we had to stop in Provo. There were so many family members that I met for this first time this weekend. It has been quite a while since I have been to a reunion. It was nice to get to know everyone. Christy and I stopped in Provo on our way home so Christy could put a birthday card on her dads grave. His birthday is on the 21st but there was no other time we could visit his grave. Christy made a birthday card, that she put on the grave and we sang Happy Birthday. Then we went to Olive Garden with Grandma Cosgrove. We got home around 12:45am this morning. What a long and full weekend.

Man I look YUCKY. This is what we look like after spending all day in the sun and then rapidly getting ready for dinner and a dance.
Mom and Pop. Mom had eye surgery recently. Now she can see without her glasses. We really had such a good weekend. I am so very blessed with so many awesome family members.
