Our family along with Kevin's parents met Kevin's brother Greg and his family four hours away one way. Greg had to travel five hours to make this reunion possible. So we definitely got the better end of the deal. We went up and back in one day and it was a long day in the car but we had a lot of fun with Greg's family and it was so good to see them.We spent a lot of time at the park spinning, swinging, and visiting. While we were at the park a Basque festival was going on and they were having dancing and all kinds of different tough man contests it was fascinating to watch. I am a people watcher and could have watched that all day. They had to lift spheres that weighed 225 pounds up to their head and drop it and do it again and again. They chopped huge logs and a woman was the log chopper competing against her dad. You know I was cheering for my new woman friend.
I regained my swing jumping title from my nephew who beat me last summer. I know what you are thinking, I am extremely competitive, but it won't be too much longer that I can compete at this level so while I can there is no mercy.

Sounds like so much fun. Long car ride but worth it!
Looks like you've had a ton of fun this last week. The immigration thing sounded really neat.
Too bad we do not know where this mysterious place is that is 4 hours away. A little more detail, please!
Also, why didn't Kevo get in on the rock tossing contest? I am sure he wanted to...
Glad Lexi is feeling, as we say is Utah, more betterer.
Great pics! Looks like a fun time.
What a fun time! The tank wars look like an absolute BLAST. We get fireworks every year -- I'll have to have David add that to our 24th celebration. Glad Lex is feeling better. Oh! And I LOVED the Ellis Island reenactment. What a great way to teach.
