Family Reunions

 We had the opportunity to have both of our family reunions this summer on back to back weekends in July.  We had the Williams family reunion first starting on July 22.  We headed up to Spring Shores at Lucky Peak Reservoir to camp and boat for a few days.  Craig had to work so it was just me and the kids, but we had a blast.  We only stayed Thursday and Friday, so it was short and sweet.  My oldest sister Sunni pretty much did all of the planning and prepping for it so it made it pretty stress free for me.  We tubed, skied, knee boarded, ate, built sand castles, jumped off the dock, chatted, laughed, played with cousins and swam to our hearts content.  It was really fun to share this experience with the kids because my family did a camping/boating trip every summer at Spring Shores and it is one of my favorite memories.  It really was such a blast, well except for the part when Brooklyn got stung by a bee and her thumb swelled up like crazy and when McKay took a chunk out of his big toe on the metal edge of the dock.

The following weekend, July 30 and 31, we got together with the Moss side of the family for their annual reunion.  It was so good to have everyone together again since we missed last year because of Covid.  Lisa's family came in town from Florida and Brian's family came in from Texas and Stan's parents came up from Utah.  There was a lot of swimming, eating, games, chatting, water dodge ball, corn hole, bowling, picture taking and trying not to die from the heat.  As always the kids had a blast being all together and it was so great to catch up with everyone.  It was a quick few days, but it was really fantastic.
