Hunter Family Reunion in Ogden Canyon, June 2012

A reunion was in the works for this year, but cancelled. the cousins were so disappointed that Jen and Scott found a way to make it happen. Boy, were we glad they did. I am so glad we all have fun getting together. We started Thursday at Jen's house, swimming and eating hot dogs and burgers. Then we headed up the canyon to Eden and stayed at Wolf Creek Resort. Derek and family shared a unit with me and my family. Rae and I took turns cooking. We had some great grub. Emily stayed in our unit since her family's unit was all boys and some extra boys, thanks to the visit of Arthur, from France, and cousin Hunter, from Reno. 

On Friday, we hung out and went to Pineview Reservoir. Rae made awesome gourmet pizza.

On Saturday, we went on a hike and swam, watched soccer, etc. Mom and dad and kids and spouses had a yummy dinner in Kris' unit. We played a G-rated version of the newlywed game, which Deb and Mark won. We learned a lot of fun things about each other...like the fact that Rachel hates to do laundry so much that she doesn't consider it housework...it's one of Derek's chores. 

On Sunday, we went to see Music and the Spoken Word, then came back and hung out, playing sjoelbak, cards, games, etc. We also celebrated dad's 75th birthday a bit early (complete with bakery cake) since most of us were there. We missed the Crocketts and Bryners, but we still managed to have fun without them.

We had so much fun that most of us continued the festivities and went to Jen's after checking out. I got home Monday late afternoon just in time to pack for camp on Tuesday. June was busy. July will be a time to catch up and get some work done.

We end this reunion eating delicious Poutine, made by our very own Canadian, James DeVuyst

Just when we thought we were stuffed, there was room for poutine!
