Pelo Family Reunion: Day 1

This was the Saturday after the 50th party. We started the day by going to the Mt. Timpanogos Temple for a session as adults. Did you know there are crazy people who get up early on Saturday? There was a good amount of people there. I decided that it was because BYU was playing later in the day after losing the week before and the people wanted all the blessings they could get.

Back home I gathered the kids and we headed over to the Ranches Academy for their Fall Fest fundraiser. The kids played games and ate candy, while I helped in the musical chairs game for an hour.

Back home to get ready for our family pictures. We did them down in Provo right next to the Wynnsong Theaters. Here's what they look like.

Rawlings Family

Large Family

Adults Only

Is that a large group? Some of the people in the big family picture are body doubles for those that are away on missions and such. Their faces will be switched to make it look like everyone was there.

Then we went to my sisters house in Pleasant Grove for dinner and a Halloween Party. These are my favorite costumes, two of my silly monkey sisters. I must say that I was very impressed with everyone's costume, even the sports uniform costumes.

My dad colored his white hair brown and my mom dressed up like a much older woman. It was very fun, but after Thursday's field trip, Friday's Party and an early and full day on Saturday I was sooo tired. We left first because we have the farthest to go and we were just worn out. More on day 2 to follow.

Okay, so it took awhile for the pictures to load. At first all I could see was the family butt shot. I thought I was missing a joke or something so I had to read your post again...THEN I got the rest of the pictures and everything made much more sense. Nice behinds though...
