Our visits to Idaho have become more precious as the years go by. I don't know how my Nieces and Nephews keep getting cuter...but they do! I feel so blessed to be the oldest of 11 children and watch my brothers and sisters become parents. They truly amaze and inspire me. This is our 2nd "official" Reunion. Since our parents were married and joined two families on August 1st, they thought it would be fitting to hold the Willvie Reunion around the weekend of their Wedding Anniversary each year. The Reunion (August 2nd-5th) was held in Firth at our parents house; which was recently remodeled to accommodate all of us. We loved every minute! Our family arrived a few days earlier, so we could spend more time with everyone; including my Grandma Boyer. She has declined in her health and recovering from a recent hip surgery, but still so beautiful in mind and body. Some of our activities included going up to the mountains, going out to dinner (just adults and kid free), attending Hallie's Baptism, and swimming at the public pool in Pocatello. Our favorite day however, involved water, green grass, and mud. We spent a day at some friends of our parents. They had a man made Slip n' Slide, and a 4-wheeler pulling a wagon for as many kids that would fit. It was such an awesome day and I have never seen more smiles on muddy faces! We were so grateful to the wonderful family for providing their house and entertainment. We are looking forward to next year!
