McConkie Family Reunion 2008 in Aspen Grove, Utah

We had so much fun this past week with Marshall's family in Aspen Grove. Beautiful and cool mountain scenery with all sorts of activities. The best part of the trip was all the food being provided in a dining hall and age appropriate classes for the kids during the day. Anna loved her leaders Alan and Mikelle and went on all sorts of adventures. They had pirate day, hiking day (where they saw a bull moose), and animal day. She even had the chance to climb up a rock climbing wall. Rachel enjoyed her classes too with her teachers Ashley and Kim. They had pirate day, western day, and hiking day too, plus everyone got to go swimming with their classes. Even Jimmy liked his teachers and looked forward to playing with them.


Since the kids were entertained during the days, the adults could relax! We played games, went to the temple as a family, napped, did a Murder Mystery, and had a ball. It was great and the perfect vacation! The only bummer was that I got sick on the last day and am still recovering. Boo on that!
We also had fun at the family dance, family sports competition, and Western Night. They had all sorts of games set up with a western theme, like hatchet throwing, feather tossing, gold panning, bottle shooting (with toy guns for the kids), Indian stories. Plus train rides and free snow cones. It was a blast!

Now it's back to reality. Though I am glad that I don't have to walk outside to the bathroom in the middle of the night or take a shower with my bug friends. I am sure the kids will miss bunking in our cabin and playing with their cousins. We had so much fun! It was a great vacation! Thank you Granddad and Grandma!
