Jarvis Family Reunion

A few weeks ago we went to Utah for the Jarvis Family Reunion. My family is scattered across the country so we don't get all together very often. My parents live in Midway, UT close to Park City so we gathered at their place and a condo at The Canyons resort. The weekend was packed with different activities.  

Friday morning the guys went golfing and in the afternoon the entire family played various games with our newly made tie dye t-shirts.  The night before my Mom organized the family into teams and we made our uniforms. We ended up mostly playing kick ball and wiffle ball as the entire family could play together and then we went swimming. That evening some of my parents friends prepared a Cafe Rio style dinner for us. It was seriously just like Cafe Rio but homemade.  Then we had a family trivia game where my parents told stories of us kids when we were little and the grandkids tried to guess which sibling they were referring to. It was a fun evening.

On Saturday we met our cousins the Wilsons at Deer Creek Reservoir with their two boats and went boating for most of the day. This was actually the only thing we got pictures of throughout the trip (see below). That evening we had a surprise baby shower for my sister Angie and it was actually a family affair with the ladies inviting everyone. Needless to say it was the first baby shower I had been to. It was actually a lot of fun. My sisters set up a fun game where they compiled pictures of the entire family when they were babies and we all filled out our own sheet guessing who was who. 

Sunday was church and a big Sunday dinner. We took family pictures and are still waiting to see the results. We'll post them as soon as they get to us.  That was pretty much the reunion...sorry if it wasn't the most interesting post but I wanted to give the recap so we remember the details for the reunion down the road.
