Every year, the last weekend in June, we head to Mink Creek, Idaho for the Rasmussen Family Reunion. That is my mom's family. She is the youngest of 15 kids and they have been doing this reunion for like 53 years or something like that. The reunion starts Friday night with a wienie roast and dutch oven potatoes. YUM! Saturday morning they do a big pancake breakfast and then games for the kids. Lunch is usually around noon and it's just a big huge potluck and the reunion ends on Saturday afternoon. My uncle Garland has made a "park" down below his house. It has a huge, flat grassy area for tents and trailers and then he has built a pavilion, swings, a slide and also has outhouses. The creek runs right through the property too and it never fails that some time before the end of the weekend the boys end up in the creek building a dam and playing with the leeches while the little ones ride in the "train"! This reunion is something our family looks forward to every year and we always have such a great time!
