The week before our mini-family reunion was my extended family's BIG family reunion. We were missing two of my 10 siblings and their families (12 people) plus my son who was still on his mission and not everyone was there the whole time. But by the end of the reunion there were 60 of us there. We stayed in a house near Bear Lake just over the border of Utah in Idaho. We all took turns cooking the meals. We had fun games called "Undokai" which is a Japanese word my sister-in-law gave us. We had a talent show, a testimony meeting, and an outing to the ice caves. We also rented some canoes, a kayak, a paddleboard, and two jet skis and had a day at the beach. Unfortunately my brother broke his leg halfway through that day in a freak accident on the beach. But we were all able to help him get to the hospital and get the care he needed. Despite that, it was a good reunion.
