July 24th-25th Evans Reunion
This year for our Steve/Linda Evans family reunion we had a big tent sleepover at Grammy and Pop Pops and water games the next day. Everyone came over at 6p and we had a fabulous Italian dinner with spaghetti, alfredo, and pizza! After dinner all the kids went down stairs and watch a movie while all the adults were outside playing volleyball and other games. I must say that I love volleyball-its not very often that I get to play! Everyone put up their tents and slept outside, despite the little rain! Isn't it ironic that through out all of June and July, its been so hot and the one night we sleep in tents outside, it rains! Actually it was really nice cause it cooled things down, but it had me a little worried. The next morning, my wonderful husband got up early and made crapes, eggs, sausage and bacon (with the help of others). I got to sleep in for another hour-lucky me. But I needed it cause Whit got up a few time that night-little stinker. After breakfast the rain clouds parted and we had a fun time doing water games. Water volleyball, slip and slides, a kiddie pool, and a big pool for the older kids and adults. Thanks to my mom, she let Russ and I have the big pool since it had holes. We just had to patch them up and its good as new! Even the adults were enjoying the slip and slides! Its so fun to hang out with family! I'm very happy that all of us get along! Its important to have family, and even more important to be able to stand the family and have fun with them! We are so blessed!! Another successful reunion! I think everyone enjoyed themselves!! Thanks for all the help everyone!!
Man.....did we crash after it was done!!

Evans Family Reunion!
This last weekend we had a lot of fun camping over night in Manti near Palisade Park. We camped with Rich/Lisa, Steve/Linda/Mollie, & Mark/Mickelle! It was so much fun being with them. We all traveled down there for the Evans family reunion held at the Palisade Park on Saturday. Our four families decided to head down earlier and camp over night. We had the best dinner, Russ made these Yummy pork chops, the best pork I've had in a long time. I love that my husband is a good cook!! It was really hot during the day, and through out the evening. We were lucky to be right next to a stream, cooling it down a little, not as much as we would have liked, but it was nice to be able to dip into the stream a little-it really helped Whit to cool down. At night was ok, I had to get up a couple of times to get her a bottle. Trying to heat up water for a bottle camping in the middle of the night is a joke. But other than needing a bottle a time or two, she slept really good. Thank heavens for air mattress'!!
Although it was sad for Lisa, she was sick most the time she was there. I know her own bathroom and bed would have been a nice thing-what a trooper!!
On Saturday we played in the lake, had fun in the canoes and paddle boats, and ate good food while visiting with great people. We had so much fun with everyone. It was a little too hot, but luckily the lake was nice and cool. Whit loved playing in the lake-our little water baby!! There was a little platform that people could play on, Russ and the boys were throwing the kids off of it into the water! We also played bachi ball-this game is played a lot in Croatia too-I like it! Russ and Packer found some water balloons and ran around gettin' everyone! He really got his dad good:
Right after everyone had dinner, just before we all started cleaning up, we had this huge wind surge. It blew everything everywhere. I went to go get all our water stuff before it blew away and I swear it almost blew me and Whitney away. I just ran to the car and stuffed her in there with all the stuff.
She looked so cute in that pile of stuff. She loved it-nice and soft!
Sadly when we got back home, Whit got sick and had a temperature of 103. I felt so bad for her, and I think she had heat stoke or something. I kept her in the shade most the time, but she didn't drink as much as I would have liked. Poor little Whit, but all in all we had a blast.
