Yes we have been cleaning and rearranging our new space downstairs. Can't wait to post pictures of it, but I am waiting to get a great after picture. Bailey found this paper, I love it. She wrote it in 2006.
My Favorite Family Reunion
By Bailey Lerwill
My family was in charge of the Lerwill Reunion last summer. Our tradition is we go camping but we wanted to go somewhere new. We had heard about Egbert Springs, so we went and looked at it and fell in love with it. We held it there in July of 2005. It was so fun! It was a big meadow next to the Henry's Fork. There was a small pool for the kids to play in and a big swing set. Our theme was Hawaiian, so I taught my cousins how to hula. We had lots of games like a Pinata, bike rodeo, pin the banana on the palm tree, treasure hunt, balloons and a three legged race. There were lots of prizes like; tattoos, water bottles, candy, water toys, and hula skirts. One night we watched a movie on a white sheet. It was "Fat Albert". One day we killed two turkeys. It started like this: my Uncle Jeff sat on the turkeys, took his knife and slit the turkey's throats. We drained the blood and gutted it out. All of the cousins helped pluck the feathers. We deep-fried it for supper. My family joked, "You know you are a redneck, if you kill a turkey at your family reunion". It was a family reunion no one will forget and my favorite one.
