SWANSON REUNION

Every year we go to Hyrum for a family reunion. It is Russ' grandma's family on his mom's side (say that 5 times). This year we went up on Saturday and played at the lake on the waver runners for a bit. Then we went up the canyon where most of the family camps. Russ, Wes, and I decided to tube down the river (blasted cold by the way). We were going down for about 15 minutes or so and Wes says "I should have brought Halle, she would have loved it." He totally jinxed us, because about 2 minutes later we hit rapids. Not little rapids, but big ones, and they went on forever. I got stuck backwards on a rock and the river was coming up over my head, we all hit our bums on lots of rocks, and we all ran into some trees (some completely covered with spider webs, YUCK!). We think we are finally in the clear and we hit another section of rapids. This time Russ ran into a tree branch hanging out in the middle of the river and totally started freaking out. Yeah, that was because there was a snake on the branch that snapped at him!! I am so glad that wasn't me! But we made it back after about an hour. We can't wait to do it again next year! Next time Shan won't be pregnant and she can join us too! The rest of the night was fun, we had great food, played BINGO, and of course played lots of card games. Shannon and I are addicted to cards and games, we are slowly dragging Kylee down with us!
