OUR ANNUAL FAMILY REUNION AT ROOSEVELT LAKE

Every spring we go as a family to Roosevelt Lake for a little reunion with our kids and grandkids. Salt River Project rents out the houses down by the dam to SPR employees. We get there Wednesday afternoon and stay 'til Sunday. It is tons of fun! There is a rec room and little store where we spend time playing and buying ice cream cones. We rent a pontoon boat one of the days we are there and spend the day out on the lake. The guys fish a lot and we girls visit and do crafts together. This year we went the second weekend in May. Tom and Krista moved to Colorado the first weekend in May, so they weren't able to be with us :( It was still fun, but we sure did miss them. We had a special treat this year though, Lance, Suzy, Barrett and Rosemary and her sweet family all came out and spent a day with us. Come again next year guys!

                        Before we leave each year we usually drive to the other side of the dam for a quick look and some pics 
            There's the back of the dam in the background , behind the lovebirds!!
We had lunch at La Casita before heading home. Craig and I both use to stop here and eat with our families when we were kids on our way to the valley, so we wanted a picture out front!  Memories.....
