These Are The Days To Remember, 'Cause They Will Not Last Forever

Last year, Grammy Su and Grandpa Bar bought a ranch in Fort Bridger, Wyoming. One of the reasons they did so was with the hope of someday being able to host family reunions. This summer, they got their wish! They worked really hard to have a huge pavilion complete with showers and a big kitchen built in time to host the 100+ members of the Wakefield family gathering together. For three days, several families camped out and enjoyed good food, turns riding the many four-wheelers and ATV vehicles, messing around on and in the pond and campfires at night. Shayne wasn't able to go, so I hauled the kids up there by myself and even put up the new tent we had just bought all by me onesie! (Yeah, I've still got a few camping skills!) The kids had a blast hanging out with all the many cousins and getting to know those who live far away. I always loved hanging out with my cousins as I grew up and it was really fun to reconnect with them and see their families. Thanks to Mom and Dad for hosting a great party...
