Utah – Smith Family Reunion – Sunday

For this family reunion we rented a “cabin” in Price Canyon.  They called themselves “5-Star Ranch”.  It was huge, as anything to house the Smith family needs to be.  To get a head start on when we checked in on Sunday, we opted to stay at my sister’s (Caitlyn) place in Spanish Fork Saturday night.  My other sister, Maraina, and her boyfriend, Danny, also squished in making it the most people Caitlyn’s had stay in her 2 bedroom apartment.  Sunday morning we hung out, Samantha got introduced to the “got your nose” game by her Uncle Doug.  He “took” her nose and when asked if she wanted it back she said no and then she proceeded to be very mellow, an unusual thing for Samantha.  10-15 minutes later he “gave it back” and immediately piped up and exclaimed “I got my nose back!” and was happy and bouncy the rest of time there.  We went to Sacrament Meeting at 1 and afterwards headed out to the 5-Star Ranch for some bonding time with all 61 Smiths hoping this Ranch would be big enough to house us.

Sunday mostly consisted of everyone exploring the house, getting dinner ready, eaten, and cleaned up.  It was also the only day ALL of us would be there (well the only day Adam Ford would be there) so it was decided we needed to get a family picture done.  Oh yes, 2 grandparents, 18 parents, 40 grandchildren and Mary all together for a picture that we all have to be in.  Stephen and I were assigned the daunting task.  So here it is… the entire Smith Clan.  The only one missing is Taylor, grandchild #1, who is serving in Thailand.Family Picture 2010 This picture is actually a compilation of a couple shots.  Every shot has someone picking there nose, looking somewhere else or scowling.
