Our first ever Wilson/ Schmitt family reunion with our siblings... Kevin, Kathy and Karla all together for a weekend! It was so good to get together again and spend some time having fun. We planned our reunion at Mom's death last November, and it was good to get together to strengthen our friendships, and talk about old times. Our brother Kris died a year ago March, and our other sister Konnie couldn't make it to the reunion, we missed them both.
Friday night as we started to gather, we enjoyed a potluck of sloppy joes and salads. Everyone was coming in and getting settled. I was so happy to see everyone again!
We had a lot of good food throughout the weekend.
The house we rented was georgeous and gave us a lot of room for enjoying each others company!
What did Karla do?
It seems that she is always up to something!!
She sure made us some delicious pancakes!
Doug had some fun colouring with the kids after our 'Canadian' breakfast.
He's saying..."see, like this, the maple leaf is always red!"
Hmmm...Jace is thinking, "I just love Aunt Kathy's snicker salad!'I think I'm going to Canada for some more next year!"
After all the breakfast was cleaned up it was time for swimming at the swimming pool and water slides in Lava Hot Springs.
Karla made a grand entrance, and almost lost those fancy sun glasses!
What a nut!!
The highlight of the day was watching the guys come down the water slide, it was so funny, especially Kevin. He looked like he was having a blast!
By evening everyone was tired out and it was bath time before bed. How fun to be taking a bath with all your cousins!!
Erika is saying, "How did I get myself into this??"
And Chelsea is showing Miken how to squirt everyone!
Happy 30th Anniversary to Karla and Bryan!! Kevin serenaded them as Karla cried. It was so touching!!
What a sweet couple...30 years of marital bliss!
As it all came to an end on Sunday morning, Ron and Arlene drove up from Logan and visited with everyone. I am so glad they came up to say hello!
After hugs and pictures we all went our different ways! It was such a great reunion, I hope we will continue this wonderful event!! I love my siblings and their families and feel so blessed to have spent time getting to know them better, they are all so wonderful!
