This past weekend my mother's side of the family "The Allen's" had our reunion.
It was in Park City and then went to Lagoon.
We rented a condo and went up Wed morning, we just to beat a deadly crash up Provo Canyon.
The Condo was nice and ready for us. I made lunch for Nic,Sky,Thom and I. Then Sky and I walked up main street. It wasn't very busy and it was a beautiful day!!!
We went into every store that we wanted to. We then met up with Heather's family and went swimming. That was alot of fun to watch the kids swim and see Shawn get braver and braver in the water. Jeff said that the water was tooooo warm. He had to keep putting out his arms to cool off.
We met up with Dad and Chris for dinner that night at Ba ha Continua. I haven't been there for about nine years. It was good food and better company.
Later that night Heather,Sky and I went for a Slurpee run and went to see Dad and Chris and there condo. We talked for a couple of hours and Jeannine met up with us there.
Finally about 2 hours later Nic called looking for his drink.
Thursday morning we got up and went swimming again, this time with Courtney and her kids. They were so cute and got to be pretty brave in the pool. Another great day in the sun......
After swimming, Heather, Jeannine and Sky and I went to Walmart to buy prizes for that night for the scavenger hunt. (I also had to buy shoes with a toe and a heal in for Lagoon.)
Courtney ordered pizza and gave the delivery man the wrong room number. After awhile we realized that and we found him, looking for us. I guess he had been in the lobby and the staff were trying to find a Courtney that was registered!!
That night we finally met everyone and the lobby and had a meat and great. It was great fun to see everyone!!!!
Jeannine has us divided into groups and we were off on our scavenger hunt. It was alot of fun and the little kids were running and helping as much as the big kids were.
We had to go every where to find answers.
Britney and Riley were having so much fun that they asked to spend the night and they had fun with Oliva. We made another Slurpee run and then they watched a movie and ate popcorn.....
They went to bed very easily.
Friday we went to Olympic Park for the day.... What fun we had!!!! We took with us the newlyweds, Quin and Erin. I think they were worn out by the end of the day! But it was fun to have them with us.
It was so cool to watch the skiers ski off the slopes into the water. Most of them were beginners, but there were a few that were unbelievable.
Everyone did there own thing and that was fun. I went on the zip line with my cousin Jonathan and it was a beautiful ride up the tram. We watch skiers long jump off into a grassy area.(know that was suicide!!) they jump so incredible long!!!!
We got to the top and low and be hold was our Uncle Edwin going down for his fourth time...
It was a great ride down, but way to fast.
Keera and Courtney and there families took the kids down the Alpine slide. They all loved it. Even their husbands, who hadn't been done before.
We meet at a Park in Heber for bring your own dinner and visit and played games. Another great night.
Sat Lagoon day!!! Skyler said that I'm quite the trooper.(don't know what that means) but I'm taking that as a good thing. We started off with the White Roller Coaster....
Then we did more rides. Eric was a trooper and went with us with little to no hesitation.
We had lunch and then watched Shawn for a little while.
After dinner and playing some games and visiting, at our pavillion, we were off again for more rides..
My cousin Marcus came with us this time. We went on the Samurai. It tips you upside down and round about and all around. You are going so fast... I though for sure that I would throw up so I made my apologies before the ride started to all the people near me. I did great, didn't even get sick.
Then we went on the rocket. It shoots you up 200 feet in three seconds, and then brings you down again. I did really good on that one too. Jeff however didn't fair so well and barely made it to the garbage can and then the rest room where he lost his dinner.
The things we do as adults to still fit in.....
All in all it was a great time and it was fun to go again. I haven't been there for about 13 years....
It was good to see cousins that I haven't seen for three years or longer. I'm glad that we are doing this so that we can keep in touch with each other.

It's fun to everyone with grandchildren. It was great fun to visit with Uncle Edwin and Aunt Grace.
I'm glad that Dad and Chris were able to come.
Let's keep it up!!!!
My kids that went want to do a shout out for all of those who made this possible.....
It may take me a week to recover.
