Allen Reunion

At the very end of July we drove up to Greenwood for the Allen reunion. We had a really special church together on Sunday and then we were able to bless Eve. Marsha drove from Idaho and we had lots of family zooming in that couldn't be there.
Wearing Natalie's blessing dress:
Joe did a beautiful job with the blessing and I loved being able to have family there for it.
Of course we had lots of time at the pool:
We had fun playing tennis and pickleball one night:
And just hanging out:
We got really into scum this year and had some epic game nights:
Nate got a par:
We had a lot of fun rafting down the Truckee River again this year. We couldn't bring Eve so Joe stayed back with her. 
Of course there was a lot of splashing and jumping from raft to raft. Elizabeth got a bit militant with the paddling. Nate accidentally dropped his flip flop and Brad accidentally fell in getting it for him and lost his wedding ring! We didn't notice until later but we felt pretty bad. 
One night we had a girls only activity decorating cookies with a tutorial Lisa's friend made. It was fun!
We had fun playing some cornhole:
We went to Sand Harbor another day. They weren't letting many people in because of Covid so we had to be there super early but we made it.
These two had a blast jumping off of rocks:
Isaac was doing some crazy flips and impressing everyone over there.
As always, we loved the dinners at night where we got to just all be together but I don't have any pictures from those. We missed the Nelsons, Abby and Melissa.
Eve wasn't sleeping the best there so it was a tiring week but I was glad everyone could meet her:
On the way home, we stopped in for a bit to see the Ashby's:
We miss those guys. 
It was a great first road trip for Eve!
