Family Reunion

The first Saturday we were in Utah was the our Christensen Family Reunion (my dad's side of the family).

It was held and my Aunt Karen's house in Sandy, they have a huge yard and more then enough room for all of us to fit comfortably and we lucked out with great weather.  Leila loved playing on their swing set and was thrilled to have Pop pushing her on the swings forever.  There are a total of 29 grandchildren and the majority of them are married with children (I am one of the younger cousins), and then I think they counted around 50 great-granchildren.  Not everyone was there but it definetly was a big group.  My mom put together a whole bunch of Minute to Win It games, Leila and I tried to stack golf balls (without much luck) and then Leila tried to shake ping pong balls out of a box that was attached to her bum.  There were a bunch of other games but those were the only ones the Leila and I participated in.

Leila and I trying to stack golf balls, we first tried on the table but the table was crooked so we moved to the grass but we still couldn't do it

Trying to shake the balls out, she was jumping up and down until she realized people were watching her and then she got real shy and just stood there

Leila was playing volleyball with the kids but after a few minutes she got nailed in the head with the ball and she was done

An ice cream bar quickly helped her forget about the pain of being hit in the head

I think the favorite thing of the night was the search for the coins in the sawdust.  They let the kids under 4 go first so Leila jumped right in and started searching and after a little bit they let the older kids go but Leila didn't stop, she searched until the very end and ended up with $4.51
