YAHOO

The Hughes Family Reunion is OVER. We had a fun weekend camping with the grandkids (and their parents) On Saturday we got up early and cooked a mess hall size meal. We had 5 huge pots of sloppy joe meat to feed the crowd. We got down to Red Canyon and got set up just in the nick of time. Everyone ate, played some fun games with the kids, and had a huge auction. We ended up making $540.00 over the budget for them to put in next year's fund. The best part- IT"S OVER- did I say that already. After the reunion we drove up to the little town they have at the mouth of Bryce Canyon. They had some fun stuff to look at...

We found this GREAT "TIME OUT" box. And the best part- they all fit at once.

The bonus- even the big boys fit!! I think they had a great "TIME OUT".

FUN!!

the young men and young women in our ward decided to do something fun for their activity for the end of the summer. All 6 groups had to build a boat, it could be made out of anything you wanted as long as it only cost $35.00. All the boats were made (Kary's group- the teachers- built a 12 foot long, 4 foot high, pirate ship) the whole group headed out to Quail Resevoir to have a race and see who would float. Tyler's group tied a matress to some big foam blocks, and Matthew's group took a large sheet of plywood, cut two holes in the middle, put buckets in to sit in, then put big round pipes under the edges. It was an interesting sight when all the boats got to the water. Matthew helped build his boat, but he had football practice while the activity was going on so- Craig took his place on the boat. To make a long story short, the priests (Matthew's boat) won the race, Deacon's got second, then the girls after them. The pirate ship- it sank. But not before the boys had time to bomb the other ships with water balloons. All of the kids had fun.
