About 3 weeks ago we were able to go to Price for my family reunion. My grandparents put a lot of time into it and we had so much fun. We started off with a family history tour. We visited the grave sites of several of our ancestors most of whom were pioneers. At the Huntington cemetary they had a memorial of the coal miners and rescuers who had lost their lives in the Crandall Canyon Mine disaster. One of the miners that died was my grandma's cousin. While we were visiting the memorial there was such a sense of peace there. What a nice memorial for the families that lost loved ones to come and visit and also feel the peace. After the family tour we headed to Mill Creek Reservoir to hang out at the lake. The guys went golfing, we played in the water, played games, ate yummy dutch oven food, relaxed and had a lot of fun visiting. The next day we went to Helaman Hollow. We have been up there several times growing up and we haven't been in quite awhile. It was fun to go back up and take my kids up there. We had a big brunch and then hung out and played more games. A new game that some of the younger cousins taught us was the conehead game. You tie an ice-cream cone to the top of your head and get a newspaper and roll it up to make a sword. You have to try and break other cones by hitting them with your sword. The last one standing wins. It sounds silly, but it is a lot of fun and it is even more fun watching. It was so much fun to get together with everyone. Thanks grandma and grandpa for getting everyone together and making it such a fun time for everyone.
Ancestors grave who was a pioneer. They have these neat little plaques on the ones that were pioneers.
While we were listening to my grandparents we happened to look up and find Easton getting on top of some graves and then jumping off. I had to get a picture before we got him off.

They had a statue of each of the miner's. This was my grandma's cousin.
