Trippin' #4 - Reunion

July 8-12 we had a Roland and Nelda Jensen Family Reunion.
We all traveled to Pine Valley, UT from California, Colorado,
and Utah and camped in a beautiful spot with
 tall pines and lots of huge
rocks and a wonderful little river called 'Blue Springs'.
The first night we set up camp and
 roasted hot dogs and made s'mores.

There's nothing like sitting around a campfire with loved ones!

Friday we spent the day at the beautiful Veyo pool. We swam, ate, hunted crawdads, read, visited and just had a great time together.

My sisters, Bonnie, Susie & me

After the pool we came back to camp and had a potluck dinner that
was organized by Kathy.  She provided sloppy joes and the rest of us provided
all the fixin's.  After dinner we did s'mores some more.

Saturday the guys went shooting and the girls stayed at camp and played
by the river.  Cousin Denise had also planned some fun around the camp games.
Saturday afternoon Aunt Susie organized our 'Hobo Pack' dinner.
Everyone brought their own meat and an item to put into the pack.  Yum!

We stayed for a few more days.
We hung around camp...reading, eating, sleeping...
on Thursday night we braved the 120 degree heat to
see 'Cats' at Tuachan theater.  It was fun...

We missed Deanna & Sharry this year....just not the same.
