We recently hosted the Hinton Family Reunion here in southern Utah. Rick and Sherrie and Don and Ada are on missions so were not in attendance. Lorene is serving a mission in Salt Lake City, but was able to attend.
The reunion started on Thursday. We had dinner in host homes:
Ken and Kay hosted Jim and Leslie
Dave and Gerri hosted Clark and Nan
Mark and Kathy hosted Lorene
After dinner, at 6pm, we met in the Red Cliffs temple for a sealing session with Ken as the sealer. We were able to seal many of our ancestors.
 |
| After the temple, we came to our house for ice cream. |
 |
| Friday started with breakfast together at IHOP. We then went to our church. We each took a journal of Ken's mom or dad and read in it for about 45 minutes, then we gathered to report on what we read. This is an activity that we have done two previous times and is always a highlight. |
 |
| After a picnic lunch, we gathered in our basement to share a piece of music that has meaning to us. It was wonderful. |
 |
| The last piece of music was shared upstairs by Jim. He had learned to play a favorite piece on the piano. |
 |
| After Hawaiian Haystacks dinner prepared by Gerri, we had a zoom call with the missionaries where we asked them questions that they answered. |
 |
| After breakfast in the host homes on Saturday, we met at the historic St. George temple for an endowment session. Afterward, we met at Pasta Factory for lunch. |
 |
| Those who wanted to, then met at our home to watch the BYU game. Some read books or napped instead. |
 |
| It was so fun to watch with other true blue fans. |
 |
| After a delicious taco dinner prepared by Kathy, we had some workshops. Clark and Nan taught us with a power point presentation about the effects of cancel culture- those who vilify the founding fathers. It was really well done and memorable. Jim and Leslie each reported on a book they had read. Jim reported on the Wright brothers, a book written by David McCullough and Leslie reported on "These is My Words." |
Sunday morning we met at our ward for 8:30am church, then came to our house for business meeting and pasta bar lunch before everyone left to go home.
It was a wonderful reunion!
