Jensen Family Reunion

Every two years we have our Jensen Family Reunion. This is my mom's side of the family. It's always fun to get together and catch up on what everyone is doing. This year it was held at Mutual Dell up American Fork Canyon. It's a fun place with lots of things to do.

We started out the day by going to the Timpanogos Cave Jr. Rangers program with Kaylee, Kadin and Rachel. We learned all about Reptiles. We got to see all different species of snakes. We also got to see this rattlesnake. I would definitely not like to run into one of these.

We also saw this Gila monster. Very cool.
We then headed up to Mutual Day to spend the rest of the day hanging out with family.
They had all sorts of activities for the kids to do. We spent a lot of time going down the big blow up slide. The kids loved it!
Kadin and Kaylee also went down the zip line.





Everyone then got a chance to search through the saw dust pile for candy and money. They divided us up by ages so all of the younger kids wouldn't steal our prizes, or maybe the other way around. I won a bunch of candy and a dollar bill! It was an absolute mad house!
By the end of the day we were all exhausted!
This year I was able to get to know a lot more of my cousins and their spouses. I had a lot of fun hanging out with them and seeing all the fun things the kids got to do. Here's a picture of my mom and her family. She was the only girl and had 5 brothers! It's great that they were all able to make it to the reunion. We had a lot of fun and we will see you all in 2 years!

Hi Diane - I saw your blog on my sister Jen's blog and thought I would check it out. It looks like you have had some fun trips. I enjoyed seeing you at the reunion. I wish that I could have chatted with you more. Hopefully we will be in Utah at the same time again soon!

Hey I am so jealous of all of your fun trips. I didn't know you went to the Utah football game. I miss you guys and hope to see you this year a few times. No Jensen reunion so we will have to put together our own get together.
Your mom also emailed your blog info and I am glad she did. By the way where is the picture at the first taken at...cute. Love Ya, Aunt Eileen (Russ's Eileen, Marks is Eilene)
