Allen Reunion

We had another great Allen reunion at Old Greenwood.  It was full of swimming, biking, hiking, golfing and fun family time.  
Lots of fun keep-away games in the pool:
Joe got to go on the big mountain bike ride this year.  Except for all the snow on the trail, they had a lot of fun!
 We had another wonderful temple trip. It was Elizabeth's first time participating:

A few cousins having a blast night swimming:
 We took a really beautiful walk along the golf course with Gus one evening. The kids loved chasing him around everywhere.
 We went to the lake one morning to try and get some skiing in.  It was really windy so the water was choppy but it was perfect for tubing.  Elizabeth and Natalie had a blast with that!

They don't mind the cold!

 Natalie and Ivy were in charge of the FHE lesson this year and they did a great one about missionary work. The returned missionaries in the family answered some questions and talked about their missions and Emily got to talk about her decision to serve a mission, too.  Then they passed out pretend mission calls to everyone.  It was a great night!
S'mores!
 "Chubby bunny":
We went on a really fun hike through the old abandoned railway tunnels above Donner Lake one night. 
 
All too soon, it was over. What a great week, though!
