Reunion in a Courthouse

July was a busy month for us. The weekend right after Pioneer day we headed to Junction, Utah for a family reunion. It was an extended family reunion for the Asays (my mom's side), but considering it was mostly our immediate family that came, we considered it as our McClellan reunion for the year.

Junction, Utah is a very small town (population: 149). We stayed in an old courthouse that had been remodeled into a reunion type inn or hotel of some sort. Don't believe me? Here's Claire trying to decide if her dad is guilty or not. :)

They had a bunch of toys and things to play with outside and inside, all for our use. It was pretty fun. I think one of Claire's favorite parts was the bike taxicab. She would climb up and sit down and just wait for someone to come along and see her cute smile and ride her around the courthouse.

We had s'mores the first evening we were there.

The next day we got out the croquet set and started playing a couple games. We weren't sure how to actually play the game at first and had to get some directions, and I'm still not sure we played it totally right, but it was fun anyway. :)

As you can see... Claire cheats and I hit the ball a totally different way than everybody else. :)

I'm not sure what we're doing here... some sort of Olympic line up gone weird. April won the first game, I was second, and Heather came in third. It kind of looks like we're about to attack April though...

The rest of Friday it rained off and on. We had some loud thunder and lightning, which was pretty cool. We played lots of games inside though.

And then, Saturday morning we stayed to see the parade go by. Compared to the Spanish Fork parade (that we had just seen earlier that week), the Junction parade was so small it was a little funny to see. They do make up for it though by throwing tons of candy to the kids. It may have lasted 10 or 15 minutes. :)

We had a blast and it was so fun seeing all the family that came. We wished more family could've made it. :)
