Devin and Emily made the arrangements and came up with the capital required for the family to meet in St. Anthony Idaho for a two-day experience that will not soon be forgotten!

We enjoyed each others company and watched the children play. Many of us became “the children” for a short while Monday evening after the younger ones had gone to bed and had a lot of fun in the rumpus room. Derek set the speed record for the slide followed closely by Andrew. It is a wonder they didn’t break something! The trike racing and other activities were fun, and we laughed so hard we cried! The kids went to the sand dunes for sledding while some of the adults remained behind to watch the youngest children and prepare dinner for the adventurers.

We had wonderful meals, nice games, a neat couple of video chats with our Columbus Ohio Family (Robyn and Eric and kids), beautiful scenery, comfortable beds, bathrooms, and showers, and lots of space. Thanks to everyone for a great time! We need to do this again when the weather is more favorable and when hopefully everyone can participate. We realize that this will only get more and more difficult in the future, but we had such a great time we want to do it again. Please thank Devin and Emily for their help and everyone else for participation. We love you all and were thrilled that everyone could participate with us! Families truly are a wonderful thing, and “Families are Forever!” We already miss you and look forward to another opportunity to be together! We hope you all have a wonderful New Years celebration!
