Kyle & Callie Medeiros Family: It's My Favorite Place ... Can You Tell?

Robison Family Reunion - Fish Lake, UT

My favorite place for so many million reasons. Which is why this post is the longest most picture packed post I think I've ever done. I took over 400 pictures on this trip, so you're welcome for not posting ALL of them. The ONLY downside to this trip - we had to leave Kyle at home to tend the dairy. :( Major bummer. But it kinda tells you how much I love going to family reunion when I am willing to leave Kyle and the dairy for a whole week and Kyle doesn't even get upset because he knows how much we love going. He was really bummed that he couldn't go. That's saying something!

So.... because of the enormity of the pictures and videos, I will try to keep my commentary brief... Here it goes!

We always stop in Beaver to get cheese curds at our favorite spot and support DFA!!!

After a long drive - we made it!!! And already found cousin Maizey to play with.

And the boys already found some trails to explore.

A present from Colby to make me pretty :)

Already getting ready to fish!

Hi Morgan, let me tuck you in the corner and keep you forever!

Colby "taught" Uncle Mike how to play aggravation.

It's been a long day of traveling, boys.

Hello, Aunt Lisa!

We get some rest and wake up ready to roll in the morning!

You should always be wearing your life jacket so you're ready to take a boat ride at a moments notice. ALWAYS.

Grandma Carol and I

Yep - here is that spur of the moment boat ride I mentioned!

Ready to rock!

Everyone gets a turn to drive the boat.

And it's the perfect environment to fall asleep.

Maci LOVES Asher aka Mable.

Craft time for the ladies!

Here are our blocks prior to embellishment - didn't get an after picture. Great craft planned by Aunt Denise and Ashley!

Maci woke up from that nap wanting to craft, too.

The boys had a blast being boys all week. Hunting snakes mostly!

Colby, Jack and Mason. Note: this video has not been edited to go faster.

Get DIRTY!

Eat lots of yummy food as a family. 80 people in attendance! Every one came minus Kyle and Jake.

Love this sight.

Beware when the kids make it into the cabin before you and are ready to ambush when you come through the door.

Early the next morning - time to FISH!!!

Colby was excited. Not his first time fishing, but...

he did catch his first FISH!!!

How exciting!

The whole boat of kids did pretty well!

Asher

Avery

Colby's SECOND fish!

Grace

Ew!

The kids were fairly patient...

Even catching 2 at a time sometimes!

Jack

The girls decided to team up and use teamwork :)

Go Girl Team!

Yep - third fish :)

Quite a catch!

This is what Fish Lake is all about!

Jim cooked 'em up.

Maci liked them!

Probably mostly due to the fact that "Mable" was feeding it to her. He's her best buddy.

The kids spent their downtime on the iPads...

The Lyman's put on a super fun Amazing Race game. It forced me to exercise at like 8000 feet elevation. Whew! Very few pictures - except this one, which was one of our tasks. We got 2nd place, but had fun!

More snakes.

These two played so well together. I love them so much.

My favorite night activity - Family Reunion memories. We've been doing reunions for well over 30 years. Lots of fun memories to share.

Brandon

Brandon was the captain of Team Dingey. Back in 1997 we headed out on a Dingey boat to do some fishing. Brandon and 4 girls. What could go wrong? The Fish Lake weather could change in an instant, start pouring down rain with lots of wind when we were clear on the other side of the lake, that's what! I missed him telling most of the story, but it remains one of my favorite memories.
