Family Reunion Time!

So, this past week we have been enjoying 1. Brian and Kamber's arrival from England! Yay!
AND 2. The Bishop family reunion.
Brian and Kamber arrived Tuesday evening around 7 pm. We were there with Reed's dad to see them arrive, and then followed them back to Reed's parents house. We had a nice time visiting with Reed's cousin Tate and her son Zane and Aunt Colleen.
Wednesday, the family reunion was kind of supposed to start, I think, or at least people were supposed to be arriving. I don't think anyone did. Can't remember, but we went over just to visit more with those who were there. And to set up a very large canopy type thingy that people ate under for the reunion. And we went out for blizzards at DQ. Yum!!
Thursday after work we went to the Snake River Stampede where I tried to sneak in fruit snacks in my purse and got caught at the gate and had to THROW THEM ALL AWAY! What a waste!!!! I was very upset. :) Really. The Stampede wasn't too bad, especially since I had a baby all cuddled up to me and sleeping on my shoulder. I love babies. They are so sweet and smell so good. Sorry, that's a little off topic.
Friday we took the day off work so we got to go and play with the rest of the family. We had a picnic in Melba and swimming at Givens Hot Springs, I didn't go, but I heard it was lots of fun. Then we had dinner and made a movie that included all of the family. Fun! And funny. :)
Yesterday was the last day. Reed and I stayed home most of the day to clean our house and get it back up to where it should be since we hadn't been spending much time in it as of late. Later, we went and had dinner with the family and participated in the talent show. It was really neat to see/hear all of the talent that his family had. We had magic acts, piano playing, joke telling, singing, juggling, photography and much more. Overall, a very fun and satisfying reunion because the point of it was realized which was that we spend time getting to know each other more and make memories and learn to love and appreciate each other more and more. I know it was great for me to get to spend time with Reed's siblings and nieces and nephews who live out of town. So, that's what we have been up to this week!

It was great to spend so much time w/ you guys. I only wish you were there at Givens. I wanted you, Amanda and Jenalyn to have a swimming race.
