Stuart Family Madness

My dads family does a reunion every year and its always a blast. This year we went camping at a big group side on the south shore of Bear Lake. When my grandpa past away instead of dividing up his inheritance they decided to invest it and use the dividend to pay for reunions. Genius if you ask me!!!! We figured after ten years of his passing every family would be so big that we no longer would want to do family reunions but that hasn't happened yet. We are all so close and love spending time with each other. I consider myself so very blessed to have an amazing family like this. I would have to say the family dynamics work a lot better when everything is free because then no one is left out and we get to do everything together!!! It is so fun to me to watch how much our family changes every year. There are so many great grandchildren now and I adore them. Seeing the great grandchildren play and put on talent shows takes me back to when I was that age doing that at reunions but with my cousins. Family is the most important thing to me and I cherish the time I get to spend with them.

Note to family: The following link has all the pictures I took if you want to download them.

My baby Abby came with us. It was good to socialize her but I kinda felt like I had a kid to take care of a lot of work. This cute face is worth it though.

We all went to the Pickleville Playhouse and it was a blast. We saw a comedy Bandito Rides Again and it was the most hysterical play I've ever seen. I would highly recommend it the little kids were laughing so loud as well as the adults. Perfect family fun.

HAHA! Nice dad

If you go to Pickleville you of course have to eat a pickle!!!

Love you family!!! Thanks for such a fun time :)
