Funnest Family Reunion Ever!!!

I don't even know where to begin with writing about the funnest, greatest, craziest, funniest, family bonding, action packed, 4 day Whiting family reunion. I love this family so much, everyone of them, they are so inclusive and have always made me feel such a part of their lives.
Day one of the Family fun started out with getting the royal treatment by Joslyn. It was so fun to see her darling salon where she has been going to school all summer. She is so good with hair and spoiled me with a fancy doo! Laurisa came with us and had her hair done by Lacey. It was so fun to be with my two girls. We have really missed being together!Then we went to This is the Place Monument and had a picnic lunch and had fun seeing all the sights. There was so much to do that we couldn't get to it all in a day. We went through historical homes, rode pony's, rode a train, made pioneer crafts, saw our great great grandparents home, performed songs on a stage, acted like we were students in a old one room school house.


We came home and were thoroughly entertained with many talented acts at our very own "Whiting Idol". The talent was bursting at the seams. We had a young version and old version of Sonny and Cher. They sounded amazing, and were very entertaining. All the cousins did such an amazing job and I have to say I was amazed at my husbands talent and big guns! I'm a lucky woman. It was so fun to be apart of the Idol judges along with Simon and Paula. They were so professional and spot on with their judging. Hollywood here they come!

We started the next morning on a breathtaking hike up Bridal Veil. It brought back such wonderful memories of my early married days working up at the top of Bridal Veil falls. The weather was so beautiful, I love Utah in the summer.

We came home and Great Grandma Whiting was there to join us. She even went to the ropes course with us.It made the reunion complete to have her with us. We all made foil dinners for our dinner that night. Megan Gazaway (a dear friend of the family's had everything all prepared for us.) I don't know what we would have done with out her, she fed us every meal for the three days.
And then it was on to continued fun at the ropes coarse and team building games. We all have so much fun together and the competition began. The fun part of it was we worked together to accomplish the goals.
Look at these faces to see how much everyone enjoyed the giant swing and zip line. The best part of it was to watch Everyone participate. I was proud of JoLyn conquering her fear of heights.

After we went to Nunn's park and enjoyed a wonderful outdoor meal. We played outdoor games,played charades, talked and had an amazing tin foil oreo smores (thanks to Meg)
Sunday was a day that we tried to cram every last bit of togetherness in. We stayed up until 3 in the morning and it still wasn't enough time, but it never is! We celebrated Dad Whitings' birthday. Wade performed magic, Joslyn had a salon in the garage for anyone in need of a haircut, played more games, made crafts, made shakes, cleaned out Grandma's fridge of expired food, and recorded our voices on everyone's cell phones so we wouldn't miss each other so much.
