Grandma:  Everything!  It was a perfect reunion.  But that's a copout.  I loved being in the temple with my grandkids, sons-in-law, Shonna and husband for baptisms, then with all the couples plus Brielle for sealings.  So wonderful. I loved playing a game called the 5 second rule I think.  All the adults played.  It was so fun!  We laughed so hard! (What three things not to do at a funeral: bury the dead in their intramural BYU championship t-shirt, turn the dead body on a rotisserie  so everyone can see the back of the t-shirt, too, laugh.- good answer Brian!- You would have to have been there.)  I too loved the activities at the church on Saturday (games, square dancing, talent show, Grandma and Grandpa stories.  Everything was so fun.)  I also loved going to Refit and seeing what Kristen has created there.  I LOVED watching our three girls up there dancing together.  It was SO fun.  I loved all four devotional  They were all SO good.

Grandpa: Also said everything.  But I think he would agree with what I said.


* Blake was making yogurt during the reunion.  He would leave the oven light on which gave just enough heat to grow the culture.  He would come back and the light would be off.  So he would turn it back on.  Then it would happen again.  It happened several times before he asked, "Who keeps turning the oven light off?" It was Grandpa.  It is SO Grandpa!!
