Yesterday was the Penrod family reunion (Julie’s family). The desired location was Payson Lakes in southern Utah County. We had five out of six families show up and had a great time.
Highlights
With 26 people it was tough to catch them all on video or camera without making it a dedicated goal, which I didn’t. I’m not sure even all of my own kids made it on here, so my apologies to anyone who feels like they got shorted or left out.
This was just a one day event at the lake. We enjoyed the day just relaxing and playing water sports. The paddle board and kayaks were a great hit and even the little kids loved the water. I think all but three people got in and got wet.
Three of the families actually decided to do some camping the night before, and so they all got together for a pre-reunion campout. The other two families (including us) arrived around 11 am and stayed until approximately 5pm. It was about as much sun as I could take.
The sun burns were surprisingly mild and I was only worried about one child getting heat stroke/exhaustion (mostly because of the ride home with grandparents when the AC stopped working).
Lots of water, lots of fun, and lots of laughter. It was a fantastic way to spend the day. I hope that everyone else felt the same way. We’ll look forward to the Penrod family reunion again next year.
