Anderson-Nielsen Family Reunion

So I have come to the conclusion that my posts are 90 percent pictures and 10 percent writing, but as I have said before, that is kind of who I am. I love pictures and I love scrap booking. So I apologize to all those readers out there who enjoy reading a good story, I just usually don't have one, but I always have some fun pictures. I use my blog to help me organize my scrapbook. When I finally get around to working on the scrapbook pages from a certain event, I just pull up the blog post to get the information from that particular event. So once again, there are lots of pictures in this post.

My family and I just got back from the Anderson-Nielsen family reunion. We went to a place called Solider Creek that is up by Strawberry Reservoir a little north of Heber. We spent our days visiting, doing crafts, fishing, and lots of boating. All in all, the vacation turned out great and I feel that our family had lots of fun.

Savannah, Nicole and Zac on the tube. Zac was so brave. He didn't want to do it, but once he got going he had a blast.

Eli loving every minute of his time on the boat. He loved watching the waves and the kids on the tube.

In case you haven't got the picture. The kids loved fishing for craw dads. They looked like little mini lobsters and they were everywhere, literally. I bet over the whole weekend, we probably caught over 150 of them. We did release quite few of them, but the second night we fried some up and ate them. Ridiculous I tell you. You work forever to get the meat out, (which really wasn't that good in my opinion), but you work forever to get a piece of meat that is about an inch by inch of meat. It is so stupid, but like I said, the kids were having lots of fun.

Dakota was the first kid that was brave enough to actually touch one

Tucker showing of the visor that he decorated as well as being a goof ball, but it makes for a pretty funny picture
