Swensen Family Reunion 2011

This year we stayed close to home and were minus the Harward family and a couple uncles, but we still managed to have a good time.  We started out with a big breakfast at Grandma and Grandpa's house (forgot to snap some pics) then hiked the Grotto trail in Payson Canyon (same hike as a couple years ago).  The water is freezing, but the kids had fun splashing in it.

Nate and two of my brothers-in-law offered my dad 50 bucks if he'd dunk his whole body in the water....
He did.  He came out with a gash on his arm, though.  Was it worth the $50?  I'm not sure he thought so in the end. :)

We also went to my sister's house and let the kids "swim" in the (not so hot) hot tub and blow up water slide.

Then it was off to our house for dinner, games, an outdoor movie and a sleepout.
It was short and sweet.  We are hoping next year it will work out in everyone's plans to go up to Bennington, Idaho again.  We'll keep our fingers crossed.  Thanks Laura and Shelly for all the planning!
