Family reunion

We attended a family reunion for my mother-in-law's side of the family in Tremonton. We drove up the night before and camped on Brian's uncle's property. I will admit that when Brian first asked me I was skeptical of sleeping on some property and his uncle was spraying for bugs. I pictured a very overgrown patch of land with bugs everywhere. How wrong I was; it was beautiful!! This piece of land belonged to Brian's grandparents and it was their dream to have it be able for their family to gather to. Jim and his wife have worked very hard and we had a wonderful time.

Check out this awesome playground (there are two other swing sets that I didn't take pictures of). Completely in the shade :)

They had just finished the sand pit that day. The kids very happily broke it in.


That stone is engraved with the parent's names and their ten children.

This is my mother in law giving out some plaques for family members who served in the military.


I requested we go see where my in-laws grew up. This is my mother in law's house, before the house with the property.

My father in law's house.

We also drove out to the farm the family owned. I never realized what a big operation it was. Over 300 acres with hired help and everything. It was a great experience being able to see the areas that shaped two of the people I love and admire most.
