"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences." ~Gordon B. Hinckley

Sherwood Family Reunion

So after our fun camping adventure we headed up to Pinedale to TAKE a shower first of all!!!! But then the jam packed 24th of July weekend began. Thursday evening kicked off the Sherwood Family Reunion at the Taylor rodeo grounds. My mother is a Sherwood. One of 12 kiddies. I have 72 1st cousins--72!!!! I don't normally take the time to head up to Snowflake/Taylor for this thing since I have been married. But this year my mother was responsible, and so we were STUCK!

Thursday night festivities included dinner and a dance. The girls thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Laetner, on the other hand, was merely suffering through until time for COOKIES--which we then sat and ate double fisted.

Friday festivities included a grave site prayer at Grandma and Grandpa Sherwood's gravesite, followed by a carnival of sorts. We had prizes and guessing games, and raffles, and booths of ALL sorts of crazy activities. That portion of the 24th of July Weekend ended after lunchtime, but that was NOT the end of the fesitivities for that day....
