I have often found myself saying recently, "That would make a great blog post" or "That picture is definitely going on the blog." Maybe it's an effort to stay up with my peers who live to blog and go through the day looking for something interesting to blog about. Since writing is not my forte, my blog posts usually consist of a string of pictures trying to show the latest happening in the best light possible. Maybe my blog has become a bit of a travel/picture log. (Sorry but my style is not going to change until after this post.) Maybe I have fooled you on the blog that everything I do is rip-roaringly fun. Although these pictures might suggest otherwise, the honest to goodness truth is that these next events were not quite as fun as they look. Thank heavens for my witty sister Kristen who kept the family entertained. Let me explain. A few weeks ago we had the annual Anderson Family Reunion. Eighty-two of the eighty-seven family members came to Salt Lake City for the event. Unlike most people, I really love family reunions. This one was no exception. However, on the 24th of July we went to fulfill one of my lifelong dreams of seeing the Days of '47 parade in Salt Lake. Here's the fam with Grammy and Grandpa.
The first hour or so we waited in anticipation to see something cool. Sadly, the most exciting thing that came by was this crazy clown.
Later in the day we went to the Bees' baseball game with all the cousins. On account of the opposing team being sick, we watched a high school/college All-Star game instead. Not quite as cool. We entertained ourselves by making bee jokes and trying to spot the most enthusiastic fans (which were few and far between).
Our true feelings of the game.
The rest of the reunion was great however with picnics, sports games, programs, and lots of chatting with the fam. Not to brag, but the Anderson family is the best!
After the reunion, my family went up Lambs' Canyon to my Grandparent's cabin for a few days. Activities included jet skiing on the Jordanelle reservoir, hiking, tennnis, the new Harry Potter movie, and doing a little fix up at the cabin.
This post begs the question: what else besides seeing the Days of '47 parade is on your bucket list? I mean, as hard as that is to beat and all...
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the blogging thing. It was fun for a while and then it just seemed too time consuming. I could always find something I'd rather be doing and I didn't want to "live to blog" like you said. Now I am back to updating my journal once a month the old fashioned way. :)
