Pack Family Reunion(s)

At the beginning of August, Evan's family had their annual Cousin Camp. Every single sibling came home! It was fun to see everyone- it's been over 10 years since everyone has been able to come. This year, it was in Rexburg (where it is most years) at Evan's parents house. Because we are a current family of three and had to accommodate for a pack-n-play, we traded for a little bigger room so we could fit. And, because a new mess hall type room was built, most of the noise was outside or in that room so sleeping actually happened this year! All the older girl cousins would take Lucy around and include her in all the doll and Barbie playing. They were so cute with her and always wanted to hold her. 




Some of the activities included water ballon kick ball, capture the flag, lots of ice cream, and lots of time catching up with siblings we haven't seen in years. 



We also said good bye to our niece Emily who leaves for her mission at the end of this month. 


Whatever food Lucy could get her hands on she ate. She "found" (aka cousins gave her) pancakes, graham crackers, fruits, veggies, popsicles, rice, and many more things. She loved it all!


John Pack Reunion

John Pack was one of the original Utah settlers and even has a statue at the This is the Place Park. Evan's dad was the president of the JP Association so we went up to Salt Lake for the reunion. First they had a business meeting for the presidents and council members, then a reunion after for all the descendants of all 7 wives. Lu was a little restless during the business meeting, so we went for a walk. We walked over to the petting zoo so she could see the animals and the worker at the horses let her pet and ride the ponies. She probably rode for about 10 minutes. She would pet the horse and the squeal. After the meeting we walked with evan's sister and her family for a bit before heading home.
