The good and bad of the family reunion. First the good.

Remember I said in that last post that this family reunion wasn't going to be anything spectacular?  I think a little bird or something was listening to that and decided to teach me a lesson.  But before we get to that, I want to remember all the good and fun things.

We stayed in Powderhorn Lodge at Solitude Resort right at the base of the mountain.  I hadn't been expecting anything as nice as that.  Our family had a suite all to ourselves with a bedroom for me and Craig and a separate bedroom for the kids.  There was a swimming pool with a hot tub and a fun slide.

We rode the ski lift up with all the kids and went for a hike along the top of the mountain to Solitude Lake.  Josh rode up the lift with me and we held onto each other, both scared out of our minds at the height.

Saturday night we had a silent auction and the kids won fun toys and prizes with points they had earned by giving service.

Hayes and Brigham had been on trek with the stake and so got there late Friday and arrived safely.  Hayes hopped on his bike early Saturday morning and had a great time with his dad and uncles.

Craig and Hayes went nuts on the mountain biking.  Craig got back from his first run and announced,"I could do this all day!"  And he did.  He biked all day Friday with his brothers and Connor, and then with Hayes on Saturday.

Todd and Cec did a great job planning it.  it was beautiful, everyone got along, and it was just laid back and fun and relaxed.

So that was all the good and wonderful parts.
