This year was held at a home called Valhalla (it means heaven in Scandinavian), they even had a room that said Willkommen til Fisk Haven (Welcome to Fish Heaven). Yes, Fisk is Fish is Swedish...go ahead, I know you want to make a joke or two out of that one. Anyway, we always love seeing our name in print. But, I digress. We went to Bear Lake, UT and it was beautiful! My husband even thought it would be nice to retire up there. Most of the family went to the lake one day where we rented a boat for a few hours. Elizabeth and I did not make that trip, and that is a subject for a future post. Also included in the festivities were tie-dying our own shirts and a RAVE party in our groovy shirts. I will post the video I made of the rave...it will bring back memories for those that were there, and I have talked it up to a few friends who might enjoy seeing it. One of my little nephews (3) loved the party so much that after the party when everyone was leaving the music accidentally got turned back on and he turned right back around for more dancing. What is it about this kind of music that makes you just want to party??
There were lots of water activities, guns...balloons...needless to say the kids had a blast with their cousins. Joe thinks that the family reunion should be a week long! Currently we have been averaging four nights, and it seems to be enough for the adults.
We were very lucky to have Jessica and her family drop by for a few nights, they are actually scheduled to be stationed, with the Army, to Germany. It may be a few years before we get to see them at a reunion again.
My talented nephew makes toy guns out of different kinds of things and covers them with electrical tape. Some of them are pretty realistic looking. This is one of my favorite pictures of the bigger boy cousins and their guns.
Here are a few pictures of the family with all the offspring, this year the kids out numbered the adults!
Pictures are worth a thousand words, and I could never come up with the right works that explain how much I love my family. The shirts turned out great don't you think?!
