Richards Family Reunion

    This past week we were out in Utah for the Richards (Nate’s mom and her sisters) Family Reunion. Nate’s mom Jill has 5 sisters, so our reunion was with her sisters and their families. It was a huge group and we had a ton of fun! Here are some pictures of the entire group. Also, Nate’s Aunt Barbara (who hosted the event) made this HUGE family tree with everyone’s photos on it. She is so creative and talented!
    The reunion took place in Eden, Utah, which is up Ogden Canyon. We hiked, swam, went to the lake, played tennis, painted ceramics, made bracelets, and played games, all while visiting with our family. We don’t get to see many of our relatives very often, so it was really nice to catch up on how everyone is doing.
    This was Owen’s first trip out to Utah and the first time he met most of his relatives there. Jill and Gavin came to Atlanta for Owen’s blessing in October, but he hadn’t met anyone else! It was a lot of fun to let our family get to know our little man, and to watch him enjoy being with his grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.
    We wished we could have stayed longer and had more time to visit. It would be fun to take a month off and just be with family for a while.
