Here are a few of the highlights of our get together in Sugar Land
Ben always has a lot of interesting things to say.
He was excited to discover we had found his Dad's old Star Wars cards up in the attic!
Grandpa, Eric, Whitney and Cody took the kids to play at the neighborhood pool and splash park.

While the kids were having fun swimming, Mike and Jessica went to the temple, then out to dinner.
Cody and Grace playing in grandma's old toy box.
What's so funny?!?
Pile on Uncle Eric!
We had a dinner to honor Grandpa's 84th birthday.
I had everyone write a letter to Stephen before dinner started.
Let the feast begin!
We got to ask Grandpa questions about his life after dinner.
It was really fun and interesting to hear about his different experiences.
We found a big map of the world in the recreation center so we had everyone point to where they served on their missions.
Their sphere of influence was very impressive!

Later that night Eric, Cody and Whitney went to the final Harry Potter movie that was just released. Mike and Grandma took the 3 oldest grandkids to the Sugar Land Museum of Natural Science for a Chemistry program. A good time was had by all.

Sadly it will be two more years before the next reunion. The rumor is that Scott will be in charge. What ever he has planned I can guarantee one thing ...I'm sure it will be a blast!

After the reunion some of the family headed out to see The Alamo and the River Walk. Gary, Whitney and I went to see some local Caverns. Unfortunately those pictures are in my email file and I'm not sure how to access them for this blog, but trust me when I tell you it was awesome!
