Fowles Family Mini Reunion

So we ended up having a mini reunion here in Texas just with those who live in Texas.  We met up at Aaron's house for swimming.  Then we did a family history spotlight of Grandpa Fellows.  I know there was food.  Later in the day, we played a Nertz tournament at Adam and Eve's and ate and went swimming again.  I do not have pictures of these events.  Maureen and her daughters Keira and Molly were in town, and spent some time with us.  

As part of the activities, the kids made these posters to show others more about them and then did a presentation.  I loved that each of my kids put on their poster how they like their burger at In-N-Out.

King Family Reunion 2024

We had our King Reunion in Texas this year. The family all came out between Thursday and Friday the 13th and 14th. Most of them stayed in an AirBnB in downtown Wylie on Ballard Street owned by Jason Otts in our ward.  Leslie and her girls (Zach did not come--he is divorcing her) stayed in an AirBnB in Richardson.  

We had shared meals.  We played kickball.  We had a Nertz tournament.  We went to Coffee at the Hub and had Italian sodas.  We had a Family History moment where everyone shared stories about Papa King. Jamie recorded it and Toby put it into Family Search.  We went swimming at Aaron's house.  All in all, it was a great weekend, even though it was kind of short.  Some of the people went home on Sunday, others on Monday.  Traci was not able to come last minute due to some stuff at work but she sent Thomas and Noah with Nana and Jamie so they were still there.  The next one is supposed to be in Montana.

 

Family Pictures

I was in charge of shirts. I feel like the design was great. I was a little disappointed in the colors. The colors we originally picked, the woman who made the shirts ended up not being able to get, so I ended up having to make last minute changes without consulting anyone. I don't think very many of the siblings were happy with the results. For example, the gold was supposed to be a bit darker, more of a tan, so it looks like both Jordan's kids and our family have the same color yellow. But I thought the design was great. I was pleased with it anyway. Adam just set up his camera to take pictures of everyone.

 

More Family Reunion

I do not have very many pictures from the actual reunion. This is all I have left, just some random photos. The one of Travis is when we went down to Ephraim and let him check out Snow College as a possibility for football; he bought a sweatshirt.  

 

Family Reunion Day Two, A Day in Mt. Pleasant

One thing we did was go into Mt. Pleasant to the city park and play baseball and kickball. We then had some fun family games. I do not know why I don't have pictures of these things. We went to Mt. Pleasant to the Dairy Freeze for some treats afterward. And then we all went swimming at the Mt. Pleasant pool.  There was a diving board and almost everyone took turns jumping off.  I even went off the board.  I don't have any pictures though.  It was truly an awesome day. 

 

Family Reunion First Day Together

On Tuesday, we had breakfast and then Corey and Grandpa and Adam took the van down to Mt. Pleasant to get the alignment fixed from something that happened on our drive up. While they were out, they drove up the canyon to the top of the mountain and took some pictures. While they were out doing that, I helped Grandma with a craft for the younger grandkids. We also had family pictures that day in our matching shirts. While everyone was waiting, we played on the big tree swing that was at the cabin. The kids seemed to enjoy that.
