Stevenson Family Reunion

We had a grand old time this year at the Stevenson/Brunetti reunion. Grandma and Grandpa Stevenson reserved a condo up there as a gift for Christmas. It was so much fun.
It started with of course what every Stevenson trip starts with... a broken car. Yes, grandma and grandpa Stevenson's car broke down in Logan canyon. Luckily about 5 other cars were right behind us and with a little rearranging the rest of us were off and Dad was with the tow truck.
After getting settled, we went and saw "Chuck Wagon" at the Pickleville Playhouse. Eliza still is singing "coyote, wo-o-wo -o- otee, awoo." She loved it and sat through the whole thing completely entertained. Liberty also sat there quietly staring at the stage until she finally drifted off to sleep. Not even a peep from her, which was nice since I was a little worried about taking two kids to a play without Rob. Yes, dear Rob was missing. He was working hard at work since he was supposed to be finding out about his job offer that next day.
The next day we had a little beach time. Eliza loved it there, it was like a big sand box for her. It was also really relaxing for me because she was entertained. Later mom and I took a little stroll down to an antique shop where they sold chocolate covered Rasberries. Yum! That night, Rob called with the exciting news that her received his "dream job"! We were so excited! He finally arrived during the Family Olympics (which we loved and was very funny). I was so glad to have him around. He just makes things great for me and always more fun.
The next day was my favorite! We headed off to the beach pretty early. Rob started building a sand castle with Eliza which turned into a family event with many of the cousins and uncles and aunts. Ted even completed a tunnel underneath one of his towers. Then we went boating with John Diamond who was up there with his family. Rob displayed his skills on the wakeboard as I whooped and hollered from the back of the boat. Eliza even went out on the tube with her daddy. I wasn't quite sure what she was thinking. It wasn't a face of fear, but it also wasn't a face of excitement. Eventually we came in and had some classic La Beau's famous raspberry shakes and hampburgers. It was scrumdiddilyumptious!
That night was probably on of my most favorite parts of the reunion. We had a family talent show. Almost everyone had something special planned. It ranged from Chelsea's gorey fingers to Dave's touching poem about Jenn and her cancer.
The next day was mostly just clean up and finding all the missing items for everyone that had been lost in the crazy Stevenson whirlwind. And of course Grandma and Grandpa's car broke down again.
