Rasmussen Reunion 2018

Sorry this is A CRAZY amount of photos for one post.  But you're getting it anyway.  In July we had our family reunion at Six Lakes Resort in Altamont Utah.  It was hot and not too pretty, but it had a pool and it had a large pond/small lake that had kayaks and canoes, etc, and together that made the reunion.  Lindsay and Sterling planned it all, and Sterling didn't even get to come, which was really sad.  But they did an awesome job.  It was super hero themed.  Ana, Miriam, and Sterling are missing from our family photo here.


The little kids played games to earn their cape and mask.  I forgot my camera at Mom's house so I don't have very many pictures of my kids in particular. :(

And Lindsay and Sterling rented laser guns to play laser tag with.  I think they would have got played with even more but it was SO hot.  So really everyone spent most their time in the pool.

Just a few action shots of laser tag.





One night we roasted marshmallows for smores and Grandma and Grandpa told stories of when they were kids or younger anyway.

Most of us had cabins like this--but Megan's family and Grandpa and Grandma were in RVs and a few other slept in tents.







There was a hot tub too, which was also popular.  One night we had as many people as could fit (adults and older teens) sitting around with their feet in it talking till the wee hours of the night.  .  



Derek and Wyatt and a few others thought they were so funny squirting people with water guns one afternoon.  So later I squirted Derek on the sly, then he tackled me into the pool.  It was worth it.













Classic family dance time.  And then there was a competition of who could do pushups against the wall while doing a hand stand.  Ethan started it.  But Ashlee could actually do the most.








The Barney's number was AMAZING!  And it was historic because it was the first time Jared participated.







We did the Chiquita Banana song (mostly because I already had Elena's costumes and all the boys' shirts except one.). And yes, I did dress up as a giant banana.  


Derek's and Brooke's family did a number from the Greatest Showman.  It was cute.

Chezney sang for her family.


And Devaney rocked her lip sync.












Down at the pond. It was so fun.  Sebas and a bunch of kids caught crawfish and then Jared cooked them for them and they ate them.  They were thrilled with that.  One night Leo and I joined Wyatt out on the anchored raft thingy and looked at the stars using his constellation app.  Ethan and Jared fished.  I promised Amy if she went on the canoe with me she wouldn't get wet and then Chad dumped us all in the water.  Hee. Hee.

We watched a World Cup game on the big screen, and all around had a great time.  Some people had dirt bikes with them.  A bunch of guys went shooting.  It was really fun. And no one got sick.  The end.
