Another successful reunion....

.....as the St. George and Eliza Ann Everett Wells Family Reunion ended this past week-end. Lots of great food, fun activities and especially awesome genealogy information shared. We had a few celebreties in the mix......Eliza Ann herself dropped in to fill us all in on the family tree. Elder Robert Wells was a welcome guest as he talked about the Sam Wells line and the Wells influence in the Moapa Valley area.
A few even checked out the family resemblence to Stephen Robert Wells........

Anita prepared a fun activity where we traced the footsteps of our ancestors from Germany and Denmark to their humble roots in Dixie.

The "Wells Women"....(and don't ya just love the t-shirts designed by Jed).

Thanks to Mark and Marian for letting us crash their pad....with zip line, pickle ball, great swings, tramplines and lots of space to spread out and wander...and to all who participated in the Dutch Oven Cook-off and brought pot-luck. There's always good food at anything Wells.

A reunion is never complete without a good ol' campfire (even if the fire marshall keeps comin' by).....lots of memories made this summer.

What a month you've had! I'm seriously tired just reading over the activities of the last month. You're family is beautiful. We feel blessed to know you.

I don't know if you're still planning on Acapellastock, but if you are, tell Lauri I'm still her babysitter...

It's fun to see Spencer in those pictures. Maybe we'll be in them someday too! Missed you guys that weekend. It was rough but we all wore our shirts, went out to dinner, and got through it.
