On Wednesday of this week, it was time for the fun to continue with the Loren Bishop family reunion. This is the first year we started doing a reunion with my immediate family only. I must say that it was a lot of fun and should be a little bit longer next year (it went through Friday). We stayed at a home just outside Park City. Every individual family had their own room to stay in and there were two large family rooms where we could all gather. We spent a lot of time together talking and playing games. We brought Rock Band and Nintendo Wii so everyone was well entertained. We had a few planned activities that the kids loved.
One day, the girls got to make their own lip gloss. Each girl was able to pick their own flavor and color, so there was quite a variety (mine is that yellow one). While the girls did that, the boys made rockets that they launched in the front yard.Another activity that everyone loved to do together was swimming. We found a pool in Park City that was just about ten minutes away. The pool was a lot of fun. There was a current in the pool that was surprisingly strong. It was a miniature lazy river, but it created a current that seriously made it hard to get from one end of the pool to the other if you were by the edges. I tried to swim back with Brinton in a floaty and couldn't do it. Steve couldn't either, so I'm not just a weakling :) I think a few of us had to get some help getting back, it was so funny.One day, the kids colored popsicle sticks and glued them together in the shape of a horseshoe (or as close to it as they could). Then, they played horseshoes by trying to throw them around a bottle of juice. Brinton just wanted to drink his for the most part, then he ran around with Kate laughing constantly. We all had such a great time and I am excited for next year.
