Jones Family Reunion


We went to the Jones Family reunion This past weekend.  The past few years it has been at Aunt Andreas in South Jordan, UT.  She has a big enough house and yard to accommodate all the travelers.  It is so nice of her to open her home up to us all.  
We had a great time!  The kids swam  non stop with exception to food and potty brakes.  Addison surprised us all and jumped off the diving board.  She even jumped off backwards!  She has come leaps and bounds from last summer.  
After Addison showed us how brave she was, of course Eden had to too!  She also jumped off the diving board (I didn't have my camera).  But she couldn't let her sister show her up :). We were so impressed and surprised by both of them.  
Of course Ty man enjoyed the water too.  
Friday night we watched a movie outside with a projector.   Most of the kids fell asleep during the movie. . . Not my kids!  They were up until 11pm.  
Luckily we slept in Andreas dark theater room, so the kids slept in the next morning. 
Saturday The kids played on this thing most of the day
Marshall and I couldn't resist trying it out too 
There was another bouncy house.  Eden spent a lot of time in this one.
Eden and Grandma
Grandmother Jones with a few of her great grand kids.  She is 85 years old.  The reunion is planned for the first week of June every year because Granddad Jones birthday is June 9th.  He would have been 89 years old this year.  His children spent some time talking about him as they were the only ones to remember him where he died at such a young age.  My dad was only in his twenties when his dad died.  It was good to hear stories of him.  I look forward to meeting him someday.  He has left a great posterity.

  2. What a great post. Jared & I have only made it to 1 Jones reunion over the years, and seeing these pictures made me wish we were closer to home for some of these events. I think Gabe & Ty would be little buds for sure.
