The family reunion consisted of descendants of Frederick S. and Corraine Williams, Warren's grandparents. We got reacquainted with people we hadn't seen in a long time and I met many new cousins. Rebecca and her cousin Aubrey planned a party all by themselves. It really was one of the cutest things I have ever seen and the description won't do it justice. Aunt Yvonne had given them some party supplies, but Rebecca and Aubrey took it from there. The night before they had already planned the party game and asked me to keep the supplies safe from Joseph. The next day during lunch they walked around and got all the guests at the reunion to sign their name on a paper. Then they set up the game and ran the game all by themselves-throwing a ball into a basket-if you did it three times you got a prize. I was so impressed by their initiative and order. These kids knew exactly what to do.
The kids swam all afternoon and then we headed off to Thanksgiving Point for volleyball, a picnic and fireworks. It was a great day. Sunday was the final day of the reunion. We went to church and then had an afternoon of singing, and getting to know all of the extended family members. Monday we drove home. It was a whirlwind trip.
I'm sorry to all of our Utah friends that I didn't even contact. Please don't be hurt that we didn't call. We love you but I was sick and trying to just hang in there for all of the family events. Plus, we wanted to spend as much time as possible with Warren's parents because soon we won't be seeing them very much. Announcement to follow....
