Smith Family Reunion...All Right!!

We just returned from a fun filled week of camping in McCall, Idaho for the Smith family reunion. My brother Alan was in charge of the reunion and he did a great job planning it and making sure that we were all having a good time. Thanks Alan! We only had one member of the family missing...my niece's husband Trent! We missed you Trent! There were 25 of us! Mackenzie and Brooklyn had a lot of fun spending time with their cousins and Steve and I enjoyed relaxing and spending time with my siblings, their spouses and my parents! We had lots of fun activities planned each day to keep us busy and everyday we went to the lake. We had such a great time together and at the end of the week it was hard to say good-bye to everyone and go home! It's so awesome to be apart of such a great family. Each night after our campfire program and before we went off to bed we would all say a cheer together and this is what we would say, "All Right"! So this is for you all..."All Right"!! Thanks for all the fun memories everyone. We Love You!

Mike, Heidi and Mackenzie before they went out jet skiing. All the cousins loved having rides on the jet skis with the older boys because they knew that they were in for a wild and crazy ride and would for sure get dumped! They usually went out dry and came back wet! Thanks Mike and Brad for all the fun rides!

One of the crafts that we did during the week was to make a design on t-shirts using masking tape. Then we would spray paint the t-shirts in different colors. Here is Mackenzie planning out her design.

One afternoon we went on a 2 mile hike up to the top of the mountain overlooking Payette lake. Notice Brooklyn and Mackenzie's t-shirts that they made the night before!

One afternoon after we got back from the lake we drove to a fishing pond and did a little fishing. Steve caught one fish and Mackenzie caught three.

My sister and her husband brought their boat with them and everyone had fun wake boarding, tubing, skiing and wake surfing. Here is a picture of Steve trying out wake surfing for the first time. "All Right"...Steve!

One night we had a bunch of survivor type games that we competed in as teams. Steve made these stilts and brought them with us to use in one of the games. Here is my 70+ year old Father on them! We were all cheering him on but at the same time holding our breath that he wouldn't fall and break his legs! A big "All Right" to Grandpa!

My brothers brought their fun whale with them to pull behind the boat. Here are some of the cousins and even Grandma waiting to take a wild ride on it! Half way through their ride they all got dumped off the whale and everyone ended up in the water...even Grandma!

Another one of our afternoon activities was to make homemade ice cream in a bag. Here is a picture of some very satisfied ice cream lovers!

One day while we were at the lake Steve and Brooklyn went out fishing in the kayaks. Here is what Brooklyn brought back from her kayak fishing trip! "All Right" Brooklyn!

We took 4 of our kayaks with us and everyone had fun paddling around the lake in them. Here is a picture of Grandma and Grandpa in them.

Steve and Brooklyn getting ready to take off for a fun ride on the jet skis!

Here we are making Jacob's Ladders as one of our crafts. The kids had fun painting their blocks of wood and putting different colored ribbons on them. Steve even made one in BYU blue and white!

On our last day we got up early and took some family pictures. Here is a picture of my parents with their 14 grandchildren and 1 great granddaughter.

This is a picture of my parents and my 3 siblings Gregg, Alan and Julie! Thanks for a fun week everyone! We will cherish all the fun memories and fun times together! "All Right"!!!
