We then went to my sister Tara's house in Pleasant Grove and spent time with my family the rest of the day and night.
The next morning, we went to a local LDS meeting house in Orem and met up with the Campbell clan. It was nice to see everyone and meet some new people as well. We ate lunch and then split into one of the two activities. Brett and I decided to float the Provo River since it was so hot. I've done this a few times before and have always remembered the water being so cold. And yes, the river was still quite chilly. We were on the raft with two other adults and some of the kids. It was the most interesting ride I have ever been on. We seriously ran into every tree/log and even went under the train trestle (which you aren't suppose to anymore). Once we went under the train trestle, I think everyone's confidence soared and we actually had a great ride the rest of the way.
Proof that we survived!
After the Provo River, we went back to the church and had a nice dinner with everyone. After the dinner, all the families were introduced to keep the family members in the loop of what has been happening in each of the cousins lives.
On Saturday, we met up with the Campbell's in the Provo Canyon at Big Springs Park. We had a nice lunch and then once again split into activities. Brett went shooting at the Gun Range while I stayed behind and peeled potatoes with the other ladies. We later had a great dutch oven dinner by Uncle Gene that included other family favorite dishes.

The Cousins
After dinner, it began to rain in the canyon so we went back to the church and watched a 30 minute slideshow of pictures between the different families. The slideshow was wonderfully done by a family member and had most people in tears. The reunion closed with bagpipes and a family prayer.
