GILL FAMILY REUNION 2012 AT SUNDANCE

 THE REUNION started with the Provo traditional Freedom Run for the Gill Family. We enjoyed the 4th of July festivities with cousins and aunts and then headed to Sundance for the weekend.

it was great to have Holden and Mindy visit while Nate was doing field work for his internship in California

 This is our "Opening Ceremonies" emceed by Colin and Annie.

 Grandma Mary led us in the opening olympic theme: "Dum, dum, da dum dum dum dum dum ..."We later changed it to "Da , da ta da da da da" as it sounded a little bit more intelligent.

Serious Hikers

one of the favorite parts of the hike was helping Grandma along

 our mountain biking expedition down the Sundance slopes (a whole different place in the summer time)

 here a butterfly hitchhiker, who rode on Grandma's coat all the way up to Stewart Falls, is crawling up Amy's forehead. Jake seems to be wondering why anyone would let an insect do that....

Lots of laughs, some tears of gratitude too. It was great to have everyone together again (especially Grandpa Larry) It was a weekend of making new memories and sharing ones from the past.

THANK YOU GRANDPA and GRANDMA for a wonderful weekend!!!
