We just got back from my family's reunion which was a blast!! We got together with my mom's side of the family and it was amazing to see how 60 + people could come from one single couple. It was so much fun, including the 18 hour road trip (which is a surprise, considering we had 10 people in the car together). We spent a week at bear lake in a lodge that we filled completely with the family! We had wild nights of taboo, rummikub, ping pong, pool and four wheeling. We also spent an entire day at the lake (which ended in sunburns for my immediate family...thats what happens when you are from Washington) going swimming and kayaking. We then went to my grandmas house for another 4 days after the official reunion which included more wild game nights, and a family trip to the Provo temple (I think that was my favorite part). It was so much fun rekindling the relationships with my family and spending some quality vacation time with my hubby!!
here we go on our 18 hour road trip!!
On the ferry to start our road trip...yes that is me peaking around at the far left. :)
We spent the whole road trip reading Twilight...it was so good that we read it at the reunion and all the way home. Needless to say Richard is about to finish the third book and I am about to finish the second book. Thank you for all of the recommendations everyone!
The whole family at the lake! (minus the littlest--she went running off towards the water as soon as we got there)
About to go kayaking on bear lake...it was so fun!

I'm glad you guys liked the Twilight Series. There's also a series called "Uglies". Ranen hasn't read it but I did. It's not as - can't put it down constantly - as Twilight. But, there are still those moments. There's three books in the series "Uglies", "Pretties", and "Specials". It's more sci-fi then romance.
