Shields Family Reunion



We started the Shields Family Reunion with a day at the Provo Seven Peaks, Teresa and the kids joined us.
Everyone had a fun day and loved swimming and doing water slides.  Baby Henry had a great day too, he's so cute.




After the water park we went to visit Natalie at her work at the Shaved Ice shack. The icees were delicious. We all enjoyed them and also bought some food at the Greek Food truck next door. Yummy!



Next we headed up to Timp Lodge for the Shields Family Reunion. It was three days in the mountains in a big lodge with 75 or more family members.
It was gorgeous there and so nice to spend time outdoors in the warm sunshine with the kids. Danny was out of town in Denver so he couldn't come - we missed him but had tons of fun with out him too.

The kids loved playing with their cousins and second cousins.
Here's the lodge where we slept. There were tons of bed in the upstairs of the lodge so we had a little corner where we stayed for the reunion.

One afternoon we made marshmallow guns and had a giant marshmallow war. The kids had a blast. It rained after that and got nice and cool.

Another afternoon we did a car mountain rally. There was a scavenger hunt we did in teams in the car. It was tons of fun and very well organized. We had to sing songs, do a human pyramid, read billboards etc.. and answer all the questions while taking pictures and videos on the phones.

After the scavenger hunt we did a HUGE Slip n slide down the back of the hill. Everyone was so excited about this! Lizzie thought it was fabulous! She loved it all! She kept cutting in line to take more turns.

We spend a lot of time hanging out in the lodge, playing games, doing crafts, and visiting with everyone.

We had a skit night one night and did a song to "Let it go" where we changed the words to go with the Shields Family.
The kids liked the song and really sang loud. There were tons of funny skits, and songs and we all laughed so hard!

The reunion was Super Fun- we all came home happy, tired and grateful to be a member of the crazy Shields Family.
Thanks to everyone who helped plan and organize everything!
