Hutchings Hold'em!!

(The whole gang at Black Bart's, a resteraunt where the waiters and waitresses sing)My sister Alicia put on a GREAT Kent Hutchings family reunion this year!! The theme was western and western it was!! We went camping in Flagstaff AZ for 3 days!! (the nephews LOVING the camp fire)
It was dirty, but well worth it!! Since I am still single I got to be part of Kent's Kings (we were all cards). The other families were Cara's Clubs, Alicia's Aces, Mindy's Mavericks, Black Chad's (family inside joke), and Kelby's Jacks (only married families got their own names)!! We left on Friday, spent the night at a hotel, and then got there on Saturday afternoon and set up camp. Sunday we went to a local ward, played games in the afternoon, and then that night watched family dvd's (of what the families have been up to over the last 2 years) and had stations for playing games, making up skits, writing wanted posters and putting on western make-up!! Our skits were out of a bag and it would only be our family that would come up with some of the stuff they did!!! We are definitely CRAZY!!!(Alicia, Dan and Dacie on the ski lift)(the highest toilet in AZ)(Ryland and I on the ski lift)(the view from the top)(the view on the way up)
The next day we took a ski lift to the top of the highest mountain in AZ (they even had a ski trail called BooBoo) and then took a jaunt over to the Grand Canyon as no one in our family (besides our parents ) have seen it!!! It was beautiful and definitely GRAND!!! (the GRAND canyon)(my sister-in-law, AmberRose, and me at the Grand Canyon)( AmberRose, me, and Kelby and Mikelle's shadows at the Grand Canyon)(Me, Kebly and Mikelle, and AmberRose at the Grand Canyon)
On Tuesday we packed up and left and came home!! It was short, but well worth it to have all the family together and bonding and doing fun stuff!! I also think we didn't have any major battles which is a first in a long time!! Yeah for us!! I love being with family and doing fun crazy things!! Next reunion in 2 years!! YEAH!!!(AmberRose=Cowgirl, Mikelle=Saloon Girl, Kelby= Chief Massive Squat)(Brendon, Breanna, and I cramped into the back of the Truck on the way home)
