Gillespie Family Reunion`

After Christopher Creek (after a night's stay at Mark and Kristin's house), I took the kids over to the Gillespie Family Reunion in Heber.  Cyndi was in charge of it this year and I felt like I should go support her even though Jeremy couldn't be there.  I love family reunions.  I think it's important for kids to get to know their relatives and to keep those family connections alive.  So even though  it was hard to be there without Jeremy, I would do it again.  It was fun and the kids had a ball!  

This picture was the only one I took.  But it sums up the reunion perfectly.  Millie McAdams and Annie hitting it off and becoming best friends.  They are a year apart and only really see each other once a year, but when they do see each other, they are great friends.  These two girls sang songs for the talent show, with Claire piping up with her loud voice.  I didn't have to worry about my kids at all.  They just ran off and played the whole time.  They served themselves dinner and were so independent.  They had a great time with their cousins.  I only wish more of their second cousins could have come for them to get to know.  They mostly had their first cousins to play with who they already are friends with, but it was nice for those bonds to strengthen even more.
