Adams/Kidd Family Reunion

Wow! What a good time we all had! Spanish Fork River Park was a great place to hold our reunion! Things were a little slow getting going but once we were there the fun began. We even got a BIG surprise when Vicki's brothers, Rick & Bill dropped in on us and joined in the festivites. Once we all got set up and settled in, it was time for horseshoes, playing kids (who wanted to keep playing all night long), golf chipping contest (a big thanks again to Rick & Bill for the prizes), food and great company. There was a pretty intense horsehoe contest between Aleca, Amber and Cori for a winter jacket, which Aleca won. The golf chipping contest was between just about everyone who could swing the golf club. Sandy was the big winner there and took the golf putter. The weather was just perfect, not too hot and very sunny. The wind blew in the afternoon just enough to keep us all cool but stopped a soon as the sun was going down. We had bonfires both nights (we decided to stay until Sunday) and there were marshmellows roasted. All the food was great (as evident when I got on the scale today)! The first night we had hamburgers and hot dogs with all the trimmings and the second night we had steaks that were bigger than our dinner plates with all the trimmings. Breakfast on both mornings was provided by John, Aunt Connie & Cori which was eggs with sausage and pancakes. The last night Robert started a game of passing a Nerf football and you could say something about the reunion, tell a story or joke, or whatever you wanted to talk about. There were many good things said and missing Grammy was mentioned a couple of times. I think that she would have been proud at the turnout we had and was smiling down on us the whole time. Roger and Joanne even flew in and we all got a chance to meet her son. I think everyone had a super time and we were all sad when it was time to roll up and head back to our respective homes.

Hi Becky
Your blog is great. I'm not very good at replying to e-mails, but it is fun to read blogs and see what everyone is up to. Josh is in 7th grade! wow. Where has the time gone.
We're in Salt Lake now living with Tom's mom. It is a wild ride!
Take care and thanks for letting me peek at your family.
