The 2nd Annual Douglas Family Reunion

About three weeks ago, we had our family reunion up at grandpa's mountain. As we were on our way to the campsite, the weather was so stormy and raining. I was really worried that we were going to spend our camping trip in a mess of mud. Well, when we got up past Smithfield, the weather was actually nice and we only had a little rain the rest of the day.


It was so much fun to watch the kids interact and play with each other. We cut down a few leaning trees and Brandon made them into a little ladder. I think the kids played on the ladder more than anything else. They would jump from the ladder to a branch and then swing to the ground.
Coopers favorite part of the reunion was going on a 4 wheeler ride with mom and dad. He sat on Bryce's lap and we went up the trail for about 45 minutes. Cooper looked so cute in his little helmet. When I pulled up next to him, he said, "Mom, we need to get some of these." Bryce took Cooper to break some snow on the trail. They thought that was pretty cool.
On the second day, we went down to Bear Lake to go swimming for a few hours. The kids had a great time even though the water was pretty cold. They spent most of their time in the little pools of water behind the sand. The Lake was beautiful as always.

Some of the activities that we enjoyed were: 1. the men playing horseshoes 2. sitting around the campfire quoting movie lines 3. going on walks 4. watching the kids play with each other 5. making great food for all our meals; 6. It was just fun spending time with each other


We all had a great time up there as a family. We missed Bruce and Jill and hope that they will be able to make it next year!
