Utah - Part 1

We spent the first of our 10 days in Utah in Logan for Eric's family reunion. I first have to say something very, very important about Logan. It is the PERFECT place to visit in the summer. Seriously PERFECT. I don't think I adequately appreciated the summer enough while growing up there. But after living in Las Vegas, I sure as hell do now. Anyway, the reunion started on Friday, but we were not able to arrive until Saturday late afternoon/evening. Although we missed a lot of the reunion we were very happy to finally make it and be able to see Eric's 95 year old Grandpa.

Eric's immediate family had a rather small showing this year, but most of the rest of them joined us the next day in Bear Lake.

We spent most of the night playing games at the church.



My team lost. Big Time! We didn't win even one game. Megan's team ended up being the big winners, winning all 5 games they played.

Here she is with her prize.

Incidentally, although Eric's team did not win, he was the big winner at the marshmallow toss. It involved one person throwing marshmallows to another person who was required to catch them in their mouth. He caught 39 in a minute! He has mad skills.

One game involved transferring a life saver from one person to another using toothpicks. These two were partners and were determined to do it! Seriously too adorable for words.

Eric's Grandpa has 50 something great-grandkids and loves each one of them so much.

That night we swam in the hotel pool, until way past bedtime.

The next day we all went to church with Grandpa, and then attended a family luncheon at the park (no pics). We then headed over to Bear Lake to spend a few days with Eric's immediate family.
