First Nielson Family Reunion

We had our Nielson family reunion in Pocatello for one day and a day at Lava Hot Springs. My dad's family isn't too big. He has three sisters, Cavell, Rhea, and Shelly.  They're all really good at passing the buck (it's a family trait, I guess), so I got assigned to plan the reunion.

 

 For the day in Pocatello we planned games, lots of food, and some family history.  I asked Dad (who delegated to Mom), Rhea, Cavell, and Shelly to share some memories of their parents and it was great to hear their stories.  Becky made a wonderful slideshow of our families' pictures, and everyone had a good time laughing and reminiscing.

At Lava Hot Springs the next day people split up to swim or relax in the shade and visit.

 Shelly and Bob Davidson and their bunch had a great time at the pools.
