Atkinson Family Reunion

We went to Island Park, Idaho for our reunion.  We all stayed in a cabin and had a lot of fun doing different activities.  When we first got there we went boating in the river by the Mack’s Inn.

 

We saw 2 huge Moose in the river right as we docked!

 

Later that night we had a little mission party for Tyler.  We played a bunch of games and Tyler got some great gifts for his mission.  Harris, Scott, Dad and Grandpa all brought some stuff from their missions so that Tyler could get excited about what he has to look forward to.

Then we spent the day in Yellowstone seeing that geysers and mud pots.  There were some pretty amazing colors and had fun taking turns carrying Zoey! Mom and Lindsey also made matching shirts for the reunion.  They had the Uruguay flag on it because we are supporting Ty going on his mission and we actually had some cool missionary experiences because of the shirts.

 

Then we went to the local country club and did different activities.  Harris, Ty, and Dad went golfing while the rest of us went swimming.

Later that night we had a family dance off and Lip sync.  Each family prepared a dance number and we voted for the winner.  And weirdly enough, the votes we exactly even. So, we had a even 4 way tie.

 

 

The next morning we went back to the country club and did many different things.  Tennis, Racquet ball, Frisbee golf and golf.  I went to the driving range for the first time in my life and it was really fun!  Grandpa gave some tennis lessons because we all had never officially played tennis before either.

 

Then later in the day we went boating again and it was really hot! Harris and I rode in a canoe with my mom and boy was that a mistake! haha mom freaks out very easily and we tipped over twice into the freezing, ice, cold water! During the float down the river, Dad found a rope swing and so we pulled over and got to play on the swing.  The water was so stinking cold but it was fun to swing.

The next day we got to go back to yellowstone and we saw the falls and a bunch of animals! Then that night my family threw me a surprise birthday party.  We did the limbo and played other games and had cake! I was really surprised and it was so much fun.

The last day we just looked hung around a saw some last things and the drove home.  It was a really fun trip and it was sooooooo nice to get away for a week!
