John Parsons Jones Family Reunion 2011

Is it family reunion time already? It seems like we just had one a couple of years ago. Okay so I did go to a family reunion a couple of years ago, but that was just with Linda and Celeste. This year the whole clan went except Sean and Nathan. I didn’t know that reunions could be so fun. It didn’t matter that I didn’t even know half the people there.

Pretty much the whole clan in attendance.

The eldest of my cousins with her husband. Just a little side note. Her husband's brother lives in my stake.

The look on Bekah's face says it all.

It was still a good time, at least for me, for my kids not so much. Bekah was heard to say ”Don’t leave me here with all the old people”. It’s tough when you don’t know anyone and there’s no one your age. The kids were troopers though and they ended up enjoying themselves too. I think performing the skits really helped with that.

A nice shady place to rest.

One of the most fun things that happened at the reunion for me (and this will tell you what a geek I am) is discovering that a couple of my cousins play one of the same apps I do. So I was able to get their user names and start playing with them. What makes it even geekier is that one of them was sitting next to me while we were playing the game. Although I don’t see what the difference would be if we actually had a game board on the table and were playing that way.

We did the usual family reunion stuff, you know a lot of talking, playing badminton and volleyball, canoeing, and the obligatory skits. The weather on Saturday was absolutely gorgeous!

I have a wicked overhand lol.
