Anderson Family Reunion

THE Best Anderson reunion we've ever been to.

This is called the Harding Hideout in Myton. The kids loved the water, they didn't have swimsuits, but that didn't matter. They spent about five hours in the water and didn't want to leave. This place has a covered pavilion, the water slide, the boathouse in the middle of the pond, paddle boats, a row boat, two rope swings-one really tall one and one not so tall. A covered sandbox, a covered swing area with tire horses. A tree house built on tree stumps. The kids had a blast playing with everything.

It was a small reunion, not many people showed up. Mostly Grandpa & Grandma's family. A few others that I didn't really know.

Maestas Family Reunion

We went to the Maestas Family reunion this weekend. It was held at Iron Springs, it's on Red Cloud Loop above Vernal. One of the activities they had for the kids and some of the more adventurous adults was a diving pond. They had a kiddie pool full of sawdust and then they buried money in it. The kids had a blast diving for the money, there were even some gold dollars buried in there. Annie was a pro at it, she learned real fast how to move the sawdust really soft and slow so she found the money. She made a haul with more then $8.00 in coins.

Even Michael got in on the action. He found a few coins the four turns he had. On the very next turn, Emily took the spot where he had been and found a gold dollar.

 James did okay in the playpen the first day but by the second day he had enough and wanted to be able to crawl where he wanted to.

Before the auction they had Minute to Win It games. Michael was called up to do this game, they had a cookie and had to place it on the forehead and by wiggling their heads and moving facial muscles get it to their mouths without using their hands.

Flooding

 This is a field that has been flooded between the Green River and the White River. Because of the amount of snow we had this year the spring melt has been crazy. Some of the roads that Michael would normally drive on for work are closed because they are under water.

 

We went South of Ouray to see where the Green River has been flooding. The kids thought it was the coolest thing and so one time when I pulled over to let a truck pass me they wanted to get out and feel how cold it was. This area that they are standing on was a gravel drive off the highway before it was flooded. The area they are in the Green River and the White River have both flooded together.

In these next pictures this was a field, the tops of the fence posts are just barely visible above the water.

Playing at the park

We went to Vernal to do some shopping and stopped for Pizza, which we took to the park and ate. After we were done eating the kids played on the playground.

These are the crazy leaning trees at this park in Vernal.

Annie's Baptism

I didn't take any pictures of Annie at her baptism, unfortunately. After her baptism we went to the pavilion at the 1st/4th ward building and just as we got started someone showed up and said they had reserved it, so we had to hurry and eat and get out of there. We had cake and ice cream but didn't get a chance to sing Happy Birthday to her.

Emily's Kindergarten Graduation

Emily graduated from Kindergarten. She had Mrs. Davis.

Bear Dance

Erica's class attended the annual Ute Indian Tribe Headstart Bear Dance.

Annie's 8th Birthday

What, Annie is 8! Where did the time go. My little brown haired, brown eyed girl is growing up. We didn't have a party for her yet because she is getting baptized on Saturday and we're going to have dinner afterwards so we decided not to have 2 parties.
