Curtis & Kate

So we just got back from a family reunion out in Duchesne count. At a place called warm springs retreat. It was really nice. It was one of those family reunions with 4 generations there, so there's a lot of people you don't know, but you get to know them. The most eventful thing for me, was the first night Olivia fell out of the tent trailer. It was pretty scary. She was rolling on the bed and she got stuck in the corner where the fabric comes down and meets the trailer, and I had no idea that it wasn't all securely closed up. So I'm just watching her talking to her telling her she's so funny, then all the sudden, she was gone! So I had to run out the door of the trailer, and around to the other side to get her, don't worry, we weren't parked on dirt or anything, just asphalt. I guess she was so scared, that she wasn't really crying, but she was really pale. So I took her over to my Uncle who is a doctor. He checked her out and said to make sure she doesn't throw up. She didn't, she was ok. But in the morning, I noticed that she had scratches on her chin, they looked like they were from Velcro, which is on the trailer, so my guess is that her head was the last thing out and so it probably didn't really hit the ground, thank goodness. Then the next morning, she and I were the first ones awake so I took her with me to get ready and stuff, and when I came back I left her outside in the stroller, and she started kinda crying for me and Caden popped right up and started crying saying "Sister fall out!" over and over. I had to explain to him that she didn't fall again that she was outside with me. He was very concerned. It was really cute.
Another part that I really enjoyed, but didn't get to hear much of, because I had 2 noisy children, was that they had all of the oldest generation, that being my grandfather and his siblings, sit around and another relative, their niece, asked them questions about what it was like, or how they felt, or how things were different for them having handicapped siblings. They have 2. But it was just fun to hear them telling stories and remembering. It was nice for me because I don't really know them, so it was nice to learn about my family and to hear stories about them, and from them. It's nice when it comes from a real person that you know, it helps you understand the stories better, and get a better feel for who your relatives are.
I also want to tell aunt Lynne thanks. She did so much work for this whole thing, and she did an awesome job. I think it was a real success. Thanks for all you hard work, we really appreciate it.
