The Lowry Family reunion took place from Thursday afternoon to Saturday morning in Preston, ID. It was the weekend before the boys went backpacking. I had clinical a few days that week. It was too stressful to go up, and so we decided to just go for one day. We drove up first thing Friday morning and got home around midnight. It was a fun but long day! We stopped at Pepperidge Farm on the way. It is a must!
Beckie and Anthony were in charge this year. The Airbnb was an old home with history. It was President Kimball's childhood home. We started off the day with breakfast and had some time to visit and catch up with everyone. This was in one of the bedrooms.
We had some time to play hackie sack before floating the river.
We floated the Bear River on tubes. We went with a company so they took us on a bus to the start and brought us back to our car once we finished. I was on a quad tube with Lynnlee, Sienna, and Scarlett. Marshall was on a quad tube with James, Tag, and Raegan. Kade and Nika did a double tube and they were hilarious to watch. They are so adventurous and probably flipped 2 or 3 times. It felt like the Provo River. It was really fun. It was a cloudy day but still hot and the water wasn't really cold. It was just right. We saw Sienna's sewing teacher was at the tubing place so that was fun to run into her since she also knows Brooke, London, and Scarlett.
This hammock was on the side of the house and it was a favorite hangout for the kids.
After tubing we had free time for nine square, glamour shots with Deb, boondoggle, face painting, and chill time.
We had a gift exchange after dinner. Lynnlee ended up with Snoop Dog's cook book. It is not to be trusted. She made pancakes and the recipe called for 2 TABLESPOONS of baking power! Yikes!
We watched the slide show of glamour shots and had snow cones to finish off the night. It was great seeing everyone and spending time together.
