Leavitt Reunion 2010

We had lots of fun during the Leavitt reunion. It was kind of stressful for me since we were trying to move at the same time, get Abigail ready to be baptized and host a reunion but we made it work. We gathered together Thursday evening for an Amazing Race and it was truly amazing! Ann's team was in the lead until a dating clue messed them up and sent them to the back of the pack.  I thought that it was so interesting that most teams choose the monkey bars at the roadblock. The soccer ball was SO much easier! I had a lot of laughs watching people get across those monkey bars. It was amazing to see the little kids fly across. Glen, Laura and team came in 1st! Carolyn and Greg's team felt that they should have gotten a head start because they had so many seat belts to undo and do.

That night we had fun playing an internet rendition of family feud. There were some funny and debatable answers. The next day we gathered for an eventful hike at the "City of Rocks" near Oakley and eventful it was. It was hot but with the breeze it was bearable. Upon arriving we soon found out that Issac, Hal and Joesph HATE sunscreen being applied to their bodies. They could be heard screaming all the way back to Jerome. Joesph kept us all together during the hike. If you were ever lost all you had to do was listen for little Joesph's scream. Favorite quote from Laura C. "We can do hard things!" The hike was beautiful. Later we learned from Brett, Greg's older brother that Thompon's don't hike. Glen took the daredevils on an extended hike while the rest of us took the trail back to the vehicles for lunch. I am glad they all came back safely and in one piece. Zach and Jonah did their own thing as they hiked to the top of bath rock. There was actually water up there for the rain the night before.

That night after an wonderful dinner catered by some people that work for Alan and Glen we had a talent show. There was piano, drawings, plays and special talents displayed that night.

During the reunion there was a ping pong tournament set up by Jonah. In the end Glen was crowned the champion.

Saturday was a day filled with games, swimming and getting ready for Abigail's baptism. We made marshmallow guns with Jaime's leftover guns from a William's reunion that morning. (Thanks Jaime!) Later that afternoon we got some much needed help from some to move the heavy stuff to our new house while Ann and Laura took the little ones swimming.

We had a great time and appreciate all of you coming and participating. We really did miss Uncle Bryan and Mark. I know that at times it was stressful but I hope that everyone created memories (good or bad!). Thank you so much to those that helped us move and supported Abigail at her baptism. We really appreciate it.
