Mitchell-Lind Reunion

On the way back home from Bridger, on Sunday, we stopped at Flaming Gorge for another reunion. This reunion was with Grandma Hansen's family. Since we were pulling out camper we had to find a place to park it for the night. We drove around to a few places... this one with a view, but finally decided just to park it off the road out of the way so we wouldn't have to pay for the night.

Sunday we met up with everyone after we got the camper settled. The kids and Dads played some baseball while we waited for our dinner reservation at the Flaming Gorge Lodge. It is fun getting together with everyone for dinner... but it is also hard to visit with everybody while your trying to eat. After dinner we headed back to the camper for the night.

Monday was exciting. After eating breakfast we all drove to Dutch John and gathered together so we could be shuttled to the river. It was our annual trip down the Green River with Uncle Andy's family and Darby's first time going... I hadn't been in a few years so I was excited. I was a little nervous to see how Darby would like it, but she loved it the whole way {she was as content as she could be} Willy, Darby, Clayton and I shared a raft... the other kids were in other rafts... we had a great time. At first we were in the lead, but we just kept going from the front to the back, then to the front again. The weather was perfect! I expected it to be cold, but it was just right for a t-shirt and we missed the rain so that was nice. Wyatt jumped in with Gabe and Taylor so they were cold, and the other kids got wet when we got to the end but they had a good time.

Then it was time to go home. It would have been nice to be able to stay longer, but we had to get the kids home and finish homework since the kids had school the next day. It was great getting to see all of the families. I hope they keep doing this reunion each year. They were talking about going up to Yellowstone next year... and that would be lots of fun too. The last time we went there was when Sadie was 2, so it has been a while. It is a good thing we have reunions so we get out and see everybody.
