Swensen Reunion

Three family reunions in a week and a half.... that's got to be some kind of record, right?!  I'm sure it's not, actually, but it made for lots of laundry and craziness for me.

The annual Swensen Family Reunion was held up at my brother-in-law's parents' cabin up past Heber, July 5-7.  We had to leave Nate's family reunion in the morning to go home and pack back up for this reunion.  It would rain then clear then rain again the next day.  It made for some fun 4 wheeling mud!

We had, if I remember correctly, three 4 wheelers and two side by side thingies (yep, that's their offical name, I'm sure of it!).  Those things were running non-stop!  The kids had so much fun riding the trails and getting beyond dirty.  There was a zipline that everyone between the ages of 7-40 mastered.... maybe not mastered, but attempted and lived!  The landing was the tricky part... Do you skid?  Do you run?  Do you flop like a fish?  I saw all three so I'm still not sure which is best. :)  My parents didn't give it a try, but we really wanted them to be around for the next reunion so we didn't encourage them.  Hee hee!  I'm sure they would have been just fine. :)  It was a fabulous time and we love the memories we made.

A little brotherly love.

My brother ended up with a flat tired on the trailer he was pulling so naturally as we were all leaving the canyon we stopped one by one as we saw everyone pulling over for something. It was like a reunion all over again!

How many men does it take to change a flat tire???  Your guess is as good as mine!
