West Family Reunion

The west clan got together for only the 2nd family reunion. We were up at our property in Paradise, it was great fun. We rode on the 4-wheelers, side by side, played in the river, shot clay pigeons, Grandpa West who is almost 94!! even took a turn and hit his target. Way to go Gramps!!! Jim West side of the family kicked butt against the Bob West side, we may not be able to win in kick ball but give us a gun and we have you beat.

The food was great, the entertainment was very entertaining, Leslie did a great job of keeping everyone busy with games and activities. We even had Rumikub tournaments each night.

I was so glad to see my cousins, whom we rarely see. It was a great time. Thanks to all who helped out with everything. What memories we now have.
The kids had a blast playing in the river and catching minnows and water snakes.







Family Get Together


The Smoot clan all gathered up at our property in Paradise for a family dinner and games, it was great to see the cousins who were from out of town come up and get to spend some quality time with them, thanks to grandma and the sisters who planned and prepared everything. It was great!!!
Kam showed everyone the plans for the cornmaze and haunted river walk that is going to take place this fall. The pattern for the cornmaze is a Aggie bull and Utah State it looks great. You can see it now when your up on the hill. Way to go Kam!








4th of July




For the 4th we went up to Mantua and took a big group of friends. The kids had a blast and we adults got to relax a little. Mike spent the whole day in the boat pulling kids and I stayed on the beach feeding the rest of the gang. Later that night Mike's family came over for rootbeer floats and fireworks. All the cousins were visiting so it was great to see them all again. The girls were showing the boys they could tube better than they could.
The weather was great, overcast but not to hot. We all had a great time. Thanks to everyone who came up. Lets do it again next year.
