Cheney Family Reunion 2009

Yes!! A classic family reunion was held a few weeks ago! It was full of swimming, games, hotdogs, smores, late night story telling by the fire, yummy breakfast, t-shirt painting, awards, etc. It was a great time had by all. Cousins, Aunts, and Uncles... who haven't seen each other for a couple of years......... but yet it just seems like yesterday.

The Cheney Reunion is held every other year. This year it was held at Lava Hot Springs. We loved it. It was great to see everyone. It always is!!


This is Mike. Yes, my brother. It's embarrasing to admit, but seriously take a close look at the picture. What is he doing?


Sage and Morgan taking a break from the pool. It was a little chilly.


Swimming in the pool.


These two are the reason for the reunion. Cleo and Patsy Cheney. They are the most amazing, wonderful granparents in the world. I just love them. So glad to be part of the family.


My mom, Suzan, was in charge of the reunion. She did an amazing job. She had just done a 1/2 Iron Man Triathalon the weekend before, then went down to Utah to be with Brooke and her new born preemie, Luke. Then took Brooke's girls back up to Idaho with her. She deserves a gold medal. Absolutely Amazing.


Sitting by the fire. So many stories to tell. So many laughs to laugh. So many memories made.


More campfire.


One of Sage's second cousins. It's amazing how they can never see each other, but still be instant friends.


Breakfast.... the kids table.
We had cream cheese stuffed french toast with a pecan syrup. Seriously.... who has that kind of breakfast at home, let alone camping. It was so good. Thanks Erickson family.

More cooking.


These were medals given out through out the reunion. It says, "I survived the Cheney Reunion." Funny.


My grandpa with 2 great-grand daughters.
Priceless.

The kids olympics. All sorts of games and obstacle courses.


The award ceremony. Everyone came out a winner.


T-shirt painting. All I can say is very very messy.


Sage was doing so well, until she took her arm and smeared the whole shirt.
The reunion was a success.
