After our trip to Oregon we spent 2 weeks at home and then we were off to Utah for our Anderson Family Reunion at Aspen Grove. We were brave souls and decided to make the drive from Minnesota to Utah in one day. We left our house at 3:30 a.m. and reached Kevin and Jenni's house in Tooele, UT at midnight Minnesota time. It was easily one of the longest days of our lives. We decided that we prefer to make the trip in 2 days. We weren't sure what to expect at Aspen Grove, but it turned out to be a ton of fun for all ages! We did some pottery/crafts, hiking, archery, pellet gun shooting, rappelling, climbing, ropes course, paint ball, geocaching, mini-golf, simulator golfing, ping pong, air hockey, badminton, swimming and fishing. We competed in the Aspen Follies (team games) and went to Frontier Night (where you got to do frontier activities like hatchet throwing, branding, lassoing, bull whipping, etc.). Too much stuff to write. The best part was having our whole family together (even for a short time). Our only disappointment was Grandma withdrawing from the Dance Dance Revolution competition. Maybe next time!
