Nielson Family Reunion * July 4-5, 2008

Here are a few highlights from the fun family reunion at Kolob in Southern Utah over the 4th of July. My mom and her 4 siblings, and many of their kids/grandkids all camped together, and my 100-year-old grandmother even came up for an afternoon. It was great to catch up with cousins, some of whom I hadn't seen in quite a while. Above: Caleb, Gavin, Marcus, Kira (the 4 Musketeers) at the pot-luck.




















Talia and Sheridan--a study in contrasts.







Me, Shanda and Serena singing at the "Talent Show" (no running water, but we did have a couple of PA systems--pretty telling about our family :-)















Talia, Tessa and Mitchell stay somewhat contained while we pack up camp.

My hopes for the next reunion:
1) That the water be working
2) That someone figure out how to turn down the mid-day temps a little
3) That the reunion can last a day longer so that we can get a real late-night game marathon going. Besides, we really have so many cousins, we need more time to just talk to everyone.

We had a blast, though.
