We just got back from California to our annual Pryor family reunion. Monday late afternoon we left and made it to Battle Mountain, NV. Tuesday we made it to the San Mateo Memorial Park and camped in a beautiful redwood forest 20 minutes from the beach. EmmaLee (Scott's wife) grew up in this area so she and Scott planned this reunion and did a fabulous job. It was so much fun and definitely worth the drive!!! We had great food, great company and great activities. EmmaLee gathered recipes from everyone and spent so much of her time in our behalf creating a family cookbook and even included the recipes from her family when they did the same thing, I've been making a few and they are sooo fun and I get to think about each of you when I make your recipe :) Thank you!
Scott made a treasure hunt with a real pirates chest and real pirate booty, Dad and Mom planned a fun FHE and the family talent show was a real "treaure."
We went to the beach each day and played in the ocean, searched all the tide pools for sea life, enjoyed the sun and got sand where sand shouldn't be! Lucky for us the campground had hot showers to get rid of it and the salt water.
I love taking turns feeding our clan, it's fun to be the cook and fun to eat others' cooking :)
Heidi took our first official family picture with Savanna at the beach and did a great job. Thanks Heidi.
On Saturday, Wyatt and I went to Hailey's home (less than an hour away) to attend the blessing of Cole and the children spent more time swimming in her in-laws pool, we went to an awesome frozen yogurt place called yogurtland and enjoyed seeing their home for the first time. Paris rode home with us Sunday and we stayed the night in Reno at Circus Circus which is always interesting and fun, then we got home late Monday night.
What a fun week this was for our family. Looking forward to next year (it's our turn to plan it send me your good idea's!).
