Wright Family Reunion 09

WARNING!!!!!! WARNING!!!!!

The following picture may be disturbing !! ( I know it was to their Mother!) If you are faint of heart or squeamish in any way, scroll down quickly and avoid the following picture!! ( you have been warned!)









The Buddah Brothers


The Buddha Brothers and normal sister's, along with the whole motley crew converged from the 4 corners of the earth (OK, Wisconsin,Michigan, & and various places in Utah) to pay us a visit in Delta Town for the last week! and boy have we painted the town red, green and any other color you can think of!!

We started with red because that's the color most of us were when we got home from Seven Peaks Water Park Friday. Despite that everyone had a great time. (Green was all the Aloe Vera used when we got home!)

Saturday we celebrated our Nation's Birthday hitting the Parade, games & entertainment at the City Park, then Burgers at my house. Next on the agenda was the Demolition Derby, while some stayed at my house and played games and visited. We ended the night with fireworks and a down pour that sent everyone scrambling for cover!! I am truly grateful for this great Nation and to all those who have gone before making it possible to enjoy the freedoms we have.




Sunday afternoon we reconvened for family pictures, a yummy salad bar dinner and family talent show. We have some very talented people in our family!! It was awesome!

Next on the Family Fun Fest agenda was the Wright Family Camp-in. IPSC were Russ works has a huge recreation facility complete with a huge kitchen, pool tables, shuffle board, volleyball and basketball & racquetball courts. Lots of places for kids to run, play board & card games and sleeping facilities. Those with small babies considered this a better alternative to the camping in a tent thing , so this year we camped in instead. Tuesday night we met at the bowling alley, ate pizza and went zombie bowling (zombie because most of us stayed up until 4:00am the night before playing cards & video games and most were going on no nap!) We came away with only a few smashed toes and dented heads (just kidding!) No really we had a great time! To end the night we tried out the new outdoor fireplace and made smores and sang campfire songs.





Unfortunately all good thing must come to an end all to soon! Wednesday was time to say goodbye. We celebrated our nephew Collin's birthday with ice cream and cake, the brothers and some of the kids went shooting skeet. We got to know each other again, and made a lot of great new memories! Needless to say I think everyone will sleep very well tonight!


Their is nothing I love better than spending time with family! and especially those we don't see very often. I am thankful to my Heavenly Father for my little family, the family I was born into, and the family I married into.

Hey Shelly, the collage I made on picasa. I think it was something that came on my laptop but I got the updates off the internet. I don't think you have to pay for it. Emily told me that was the best thing to use and I think she got it for free too. So check it out. Also the backgrounds are from thecutestblogontheblock.com.
