JUNE 5-7th, 2008
Alexia and Aunt Melissa at the Wells Family Reunion - thanks mom for the shirts!
It was my turn to be in charge of the annual family outing and it has traditionally be a campout. There are few pansies in the family who don't like camping (ahem...you know who you are) and I was in the mood for compromise. So this year I scheduled a weekend in the Cannonville, UT KOA right outside of Bryce Canyon. Most of us took the pansy road and stayed in cute little cabins or an RV, but my sister Alena and her family represented and roughed it in a tent.It was a bit of work to get everything planned, but I steered the event down the "reunion" road and we had so much fun.
Those who wanted to got to see the national park.
We did some hiking (the kid friendly kind),
swimming (in a very unheated pool - brrrrrr!), ate some good food, and my favorite - a family talent show. I sent out a note to each family telling them they needed to have something to contribute. Everyone did great and I saw and learned some things about my family members that night. Plus I got it on video. I'd share more but Blogger is acting up on me.
Lexi's Talent
Darren and I showing off
This is my youngest sister Melissa (I have two more). She is 11 years younger than me. I love her to death. People say we look a lot alike although she's about 5 inches shorter than me. I take that as a compliment. She's beautiful inside and out. She's also single and at BYU plus she juggles. Know anyone we could set her up with? :) Don't kill me Miss!

Nice dancing skills guys! I'm impressed and even a little inspired. Couldn't you see Anth and I dancing!? Heehee. We would be all elbows and knees...and a few swear words.
PS: Heidi you are the fittest mom of three I know.
I'm cool with being a pansy. Nothing to be ashamed of. Thanks for accommodating. I actually enjoyed myself :)
I love seeing that side of Darren! It needs to come out more! You are too cute! Can't believe you are ditching out this weekend...what the?
I am so jealous the family reunion looks so fun and we never knew you were so talented. I am going to show Steve the dancing maybe he could feel some guilt. The kids say we want to go back to Bryce Canyon it was so beutiful and so much fun. See you soon.
Love the waltz! Shane and I used to dance every week... we haven't been in about a year though. What fun!
