Friday:
* Traveled to Enterprise, Utah
* Spent the evening with Shawn's immediate family at Shawn's parent's house. We had hot dogs and hamburgers, then celebrated my nephew - Isaac, niece - Lucie, and my birthday with cake and ice cream. The kids had fun playing hot potato, wrestling with Uncle Paul, or just sitting and watching all the craziness going on! Later that night we let off fireworks, which is always fun!
Saturday:* Shawn's HUGE extended family reunion. Shawn's Dad has 10 siblings (so 11 total) so you can probably imagine that there are a ton of people there! They have a big ranch down in Enterprise and it's always so fun to go there.
* Of course I forgot my camera, but they had mud tug-o-war (CRAZY!!!) - NO, I didn't play hahaha! They also had a fishing pond for the little kids, and sno cones.
* At about 3:00pm they had dinner of supper yummy beef and turkey, dutch oven potatoes, and then all the families either bring salads or desserts. Tooooo much food, but oh so yummy!!!!
* Then after dinner, they do a raffle and auction to raise money for the up-keep of the ranch. People bring items to donate for the raffle and auction. For the raffle you buy tickets and put them in the cups of items you want. If they call your ticket, you get that item. The auction is just that - people bid on items, like quilts and bigger things. I won a super neat coat hanger that has a picture of the ranch on it - YAY!!!
Sunday:
* MY BIRTHDAY!!!!
* We went up to the Ranch again for a yummy breakfast.
* Spent the afternoon realaxing at Shawn's parent's house.
* Went to Mesquite, Nevada to the Eureka Casino and ate at their yummy buffet!
Monday:
* Drove home!
It was a super fun weekend! Ate WAY too much and didn't get enough sleep, but isn't that what family reunions are all about?!?!
