Saxton Family Reunion

For the first time ever, my moms side of the family got together and had a reunion. We all went into it with a little excitement, but admittedly a lot of nervousness (because it's a known fact that a lot of the Saxton family members DO NOT get along). Conveniently enough, it was held in St. George, which meant my family could come and stay with us, and attend the reunion. Win win for me.
The first night, a dinner was held at my cousin Lisa's home.....and WHAT A HOME! I have never been in a house so big....well, one that belonged to some one I knew anyway (others have been Parade of Homes houses). But to say that this home was big, is an understatement. Definitely nice, but something that I'd NEVER want to have.

I didn't take any pictures that night (not sure what I was thinking), so I borrowed some that Lisa sent me.



At the table is uncle Max - grandpa Saxton's younger brother, and Larry (Lisa's brother - Bonnie's son). Aunt Sue (mom's sister and others are in the background)

The next day, we went to Lisa and Monte's ranch. It was such a nice place and beautiful day. We sat around visiting under the trees, ate a lot of yummy food, and the guys went and shot skeet. It was great to get to meet family I'd never met before and reconnect with ones that I hadn't since I was a baby.
