Our whole purpose for coming to Utah was for a family reunion on Travis' side at a ranch in Eastern Utah. This reunion was with Travis' mom's family, (her 6 siblings, their kids and Grandma and Grandpa), I think there were around 70 of us. We went to this place called Reid Ranch in the middle of nowhere. We stayed in a huge lodge where individual families had their own rooms and a bathroom. We went to a cafeteria for our 3 meals a day and they had a ton of activities for us to do. We went horseback riding, paddle boats, our lodge had its own swimming pool, there was miniature golf, a playground, archery, hiking, volleyball, you name it. Travis and I came up with the Gilbert Family Olympics where we had speed races, the discus, marshmallow gun fights and many more events we did not have time to get to. All the young moms brought crafts for the kids to do. We had a fun jam packed 4 days. It was so nice getting to know some family members better and get reacquainted with others. Travis' mom put this whole reunion together and it was FANTASTIC! I only got a few pictures because I dropped my camera in dirt with the lens open and now it will not open and close. Roxanne took pictures for me so I am hoping she will email me some soon so I can post more. All of Travis' 5 siblings came with their kids so our kids had a blast with their cousins who are all pretty much around the same age. It was such an amazing reunion, I feel so blessed to have married into a loving family.
