Last weekend was the annual Cardon Reunion. We headed up to Deer Mountain between Park City and Kamas, UT. We had a great vacation rental that overlooked Jordanelle Reservoir. We did some relaxing and some staying busy. Even though we didn't get any pictures of it, we got to see a cool ski jump competition at Olympic Park. The kids even got to try to the kiddie ski jump.
Wyatt seemed to enjoy his first reunion, especially all the people that were more than willing to hold him.

There was lots of time to play with cousins and do many treasure hunts put on by Grandma and Rachel. They always come prepared to keep the kids busy following strange clues and finding prizes.
What a fun group with just a few missing.
We even spent a little bit of time near the water. Though hot weather and people with short legs meant that there was only one long walk to the waters edge.
Lots of kids in one small hot tub... plus Aunt Rachel and Uncle Brennan who are always better sports than the parents of these crazy kids.
Plenty of cookies and treats. These two make quite the pair. Henry came to me all concerned a few minutes before this picture and said, "Mom, Claire doesn't have any pants on." I said, "I know, she has a dress on." Henry- "Yep, but she doesn't have any pants."
Caleb and Nathan both decided to take a vacation from white shirts and suits for church and ended up like twinners. They acted like they were embarrassed and surprised to find themselves matching, but we know that they really called each other to plan it.
I mean really... they even both get the same look on their face when I want to take a picture... how is that not planned?
There was a great night of sunsets to top it all off.
And even though the pictures just don't do justice to the real thing, we had an auction of items that were hand-made by different members of the family. Everyone was able to earn fake money in the two days before the auction by helping out and finishing their dinner, etc. Then we all go to bid on the crafts and gifts. It was hugely entertaining and will most likely become a tradition for the reunions to come. We always love a good laugh.
The only thing Henry wanted to bid on was a big box of puppy chow made by Rich. He sat contentedly munching while everyone else bid on their items.
We had a great time, and hopefully will remember to take even more pictures next time.

I hope Henry starts telling on the ladies at church for not wearing pants!
