We had 3 Family Reunions in a row this year. We were in charge of 2 of them so we planned them in the same location during the same week. Then my family planned our family reunion for the same time since we were in the country.

So our first reunion was Waite Family Fun Day (WFF) as it is called in email planning.

We stayed in West Yellowstone at the Brandin' Iron Inn. Then we spent the day with some of my family in Yellowstone. We had a fun day visiting geysers, hot pots, waterfalls, and Old Faithful.












I guess we were worn out by the end of the day waiting for our dinner to come.....
We stayed at a great cabin in Island Park at Mack's Inn (thanks to Matt & Jeanette). We started with Lindsey going to the hospital to get stitches in her ear after jumping off the bunkbed.

On Sunday, we went to church where we had our own private viewing of Sacrament Meeting in a side room. They had tvs in every room plus the chapel, gym and old chapel were all full. They had 3 Sacrament meetings that day and had a total 4,200 people attend that day. That's a lot of righteous tourists:)

Later that day, we went on a tour of Johnny Sack's cabin and walked around at Big Springs. We also took a family picture in our awesome matching t-shirts (another thanks to Matt and Jeanette and Diana). We shot off a candy cannon and shot paintball guns (thanks to Tristan). Then we had a family home evening of remembering the hand of the Lord in our lives. Families rock.







The next day we went on a super fun canoe ride from Big Springs down Henry Fork's River to Mack's Inn. We enjoyed a grand water fight in the middle of our journey.






For the night's entertainment, we went across the road from our cabin to Mack's Inn Playhouse to see the Phantom of the Grand Ole' Opry along with a dinner. We laughed and laughed.
