Williams Family Reunion, Part 1

Monday, July 30th it was time to head up to Bear Lake northeast of Logan, UT fir the big Williams family reunion. The only persons not there were Kasey, Dan’s family and Jesse. We missed them very much. We hope they can make it next time.

It was check in day so we decided to take the great grandkids pictures with grandma. We were only missing 4! (Dan’s kids) This was a big chore with 22 kids. We had Anne who decided not to sit down until the last minute, Ethan who ran off the last minute and than came back. This is when you just take the 5 or so pictures and hope you have a good one!

That night we played a game. Autumn wrote questions and facts on a HUGE beach ball. we tossed to different people in the circle whom ever caught it had to answer the question or tell a story. Wherever their right thumb land on. Great game we were all laughing pretty hard.

Anne decided to tackle others instead!

 

Next day was Bear Lake Day!! Tuesday, July 31st. See how SUNNY and beautiful it was. Don’t be deceived we had a surprise weather change later that afternoon.

Cory rented a jet ski and took whomever wanted to out. I even tried it, I thought I would like it but honestly I am not a big fan. I give my self kudos for trying it though. (It had nothing do do with Cory driving though) I have this issue with deep water and where I can see the bottom. The movie Jaws forever ruined that.

As my group was out on the boat. The weather change and the lighting strike. It started to down pour. We head back to the no wake zone. Unload everyone. Dad and David stayed with the boat. As it let up a little they tried to start it. No luck the battery died. A jet skiier towed them back to the dock. They got 2 smaller boats.

It is not a Williams Family Reunion without a sudden rain storm while 1/4 of the group is on the boat in the middle of Bear Lake, those at the shore take whatever they can find and throw into the half tent and cover the rest with towels. Wait out the storm under a beach umbrella and than move to dress room area to take cover from lighting!!

After the storm pasted some of us went back to the lodge, others hung out at the pool, and those that didn’t get a turn on the boat went out.

We got back late to cook dinner. Lucky those who went back earlier where kind and started it for us. Needless to say dinner got cook, eaten and we had an adventure!
