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.
