Curtis Reunion 2012

We started a tradition a couple years ago in the Curtis side of the family that each year we will have a week long reunion. Last year everyone came to our home in San Diego and it made for quite the week. I believe there were a total of 22 people under our roof during that week. We all became a lot closer than we ever had before. This year we all decided to change it up a bit. Since we have some family members living in Oregon, some in Arizona, Oklahoma, New York, and us in San Diego, we decided to meet in the middle, which coincidentally was Midway, Utah. Camille's uncle has a house up there that he allows people to use. So we all met up in Midway for the first week of August. Since our last reunion we have had a few babies born and a few people join the family so we had around 27 people hanging out in Midway this time. My growing suspicion is that it will continue to grow each year, especially considering the number of Curtis children (10), so I figured I would start keeping track of the number. We had some milestones that we celebrated for the week. Mike and Michelle got engaged and are set to get married in December!! Lynette and Jeff are having their first baby and it is a boy! So we threw Lynette a surprise baby shower there. We also had this reunion the first part of August so we could spend one more week with Jared, Camille's brother, before he left on his mission to Bolivia. We enjoyed the Alpine Slides in Park City, which is a personal favorite of mine.
We enjoyed the creek in beautiful Sundance, just off from Provo Canyon.
We enjoyed Wake Surfing, Wake Boarding, and playing on the tube at Deer Creek Lake.
We had fun blasting off bottle rockets at a close by park.
We took some extended family pictures. Not sure what my face is all about in there. I think my inner child came out to say hello.
We had a talent show where all the kids and adults could showcase their skills.
And lastly, we just had fun!!
