Day 2 of our Reunion was the 4th of July. We were all so exhausted still from the lake that we didn't even have breakfast until ten that morning. We all slept in and it felt great! Timmy and Ashli made dutch oven eggs, sausage and biscuits, with parfaits and muffins. Sooo good!
After breakfast we had a flag ceremony. Two of my nephews read information about the flag and then we took a family picture. We were missing our two missionaries at that moment, but we all wrote them little notes to mail to them.
There is a family in my Mom's ward who invited us to go play hockey and human foosball with them. The kids had a blast. There was a fog machine and everyone had glow in the dark necklaces and bracelets. After games we went to my Mom's for homemade ice cream and cookies.
We hung out and played the rest of the day. That evening we had a discussion by the fire pit about my Dad. We talked about the great man he was and shared fun memories about him. It was nice to talk about him and see what some of the grandkids remembered about him.
We then roasted marshmallows and did fireworks. It was a great end to our reunion. We all had so much fun together. It is the only time we get everyone together and it always goes by way too fast. I love my family and am grateful that we love to be together.
