Family Reunion July 2nd - 4th Flowell Utah!!

We are getting really excited to see everyone and enjoy a fun weekend at the family reunion.  I have posted two additional posts that include the activities and the food for the reunion.  Please comment about what you think and if you have any additional ideas.

The plan is for everyone to sleep outside in tents or under the stars.   If you don't have anything to sleep in outside let someone know or comment on this post and I am sure we can figure something out.  There should be enough room inside for families with little babies.

A couple of things to prepare before hand:

  • Each married couple needs to prepare a Skit/Dance/Talent any entertainment you choose for family entertainment night (should be 3 - 5 minutes long)
  • Each married couple is in charge of a carnival type booth (fish pond, cake walk, bean bag toss, ect) for a family carnival
  • Make sure to bring your favorite drinks and snacks/treats
Please comment here, or contact my dad or me if you have any questions.

See you in Flowell!!!!

Reunion Food


Here is what we are thinking for food.  Danny will buy all of the food and then split the cost up between everyone.

We would like for everyone to bring your favorite drinks and we will keep them in a big ice bucket.  (We will be sure and mark Grandpa's with a special mark as it will have a bit of soap in it.)

Everyone should also bring your own treats and snacks and we will designate a treat and snack area and share with everyone.
