Olsen Reunion 2008

Our family loves the Olsen Reunion. This is Steve's moms family. They get together yearly-and this truly is the opitomy of a great reunion and what a reunion should be like for all families. Some families get so big that it isnt all that fun to get together, but it matters not how big this reunion gets, it just stays fun! Hats off to Steve's Mom and Dad for hosting and doing such a fabulous job! WOW we all had so much fun!

We arrived on Friday afternoon in Cornish Utah. There is a great family reunion retreat there. (Steve was mad because he wanted to be there early and first!). We played games and ate with everyone. The evening was filled with a program and night games (A HUGE FAVE!)


We had to stay at a hotel because Steve can no longer camp due to being attached to a CPAP machine at night. BUT everyone else camped. Our girls were MAD!

On Saturday we enjoyed crafts, games,a pie eating contest, FOOD, and more FOOD!Dancing, Campfire Songs, Kareoke, Treasure Hunting, and more games. We packed it all in! Here are just a few of the shots and hi-lites. We missed those who could not come but especially our Barb, Blake and Nens fam, and Rich and Ambers family.

Crafts--- Megs is intent!

The new game of the reunion-Pirates Cove! (Thanks Carl and Emily)

Ker and Mel- (Best friends in HS, and cousins today!)

Pie Eating Contest- Meg won the kids contest.


Steve and Mike singing the "Boys are Back in Town"--nice moves Stevie Wonder Buns!


Megan and Kayla singing with Mason playing back up on the kazoo!

We all had a great time! The kids were so sad to see it end! Mason especially. All the little girl cousins kept wanting to touch his hair and he thought that was cool. He loves playing with his Brennen and Kamree! We cant wait for the next Olsen Reunion-because we love our family and our fam rocks!

I guess I haven't seen Mason recently because I wouldn't have been able to resist rubbing his head. It always feels like soft mice. I need to have a boy just so I can do his hair that way sometime. I don't think my girls would appreciate it.
