Corry Reunion!

Every year during the second weekend in July is the BIG Corry reunion and when I say big... Over 200 people show up at this reunion every year. It is always a blast and I'm bummed out whenever I have to miss it! Preston and I went the year we got engaged/married. Everybody brings the person they're going to marry before they get married to be approved by the Corry family it's pretty funny. Whenever somebody brings a bf or gf we know that the next year they'll be married. Unfortunately for some reason we couldn't make it last year when we were married but we went this year and I LOVED IT! We didn't go the whole time but got there early Friday just in time to help with the HUGE 2 hour work project everybody works on. There are various projects we work on for those two hours from cutting down old wood and adding it to the wood pile, fixing the fence, killing thissleburries (whatever those are called) Fixing up the basketball court, the stage, the horseshoe pits, the bathrooms, cleaning... and whatever else might need to be worked on! The cool part is, we all get paid for doing it! We'd do it for free but it's a fun little incentive! The Corry family is like a business too, they have stocks through Corry Enterprise and what not, Pretty cool! Anywho, after the work project was the horse shoe tournament, it's always fun to watch/play because everybody gets SOO into it but it's all in fun! During the tournament we got a major downpour of rain which was great. It smelt so good and we haven't seen rain in a while and it made it so everything wasn't so dusty and it made it fun taking a nap in the tent. I love being in tents when it rains! That night we had dinner and it's always such good food! We were on for helping with that meal so we helped with dishes! Then everybody hung around for a while and played games until the testimony meeting which is always amazing, the spirit is so strong. The people in this family are amazing. Everybody is so genuine and so kind and loving and giving! THEN it poured again so after the testimony meeting instead of playing games for hours on end around the camp fire we all scattered to our tents. We have a big pavilion we gather under but it was raining so hard and it was so windy you got went hangin out in the pavilion. So we went back and dad and lili came in our tent to play some card games! I was worried our tent wouldn't make it through the night but it did! Come to find out, we were lucky, there were about 4 tents that collapsed during the night! Saturday morning we had a delicious french toast breakfast with eggs and bacon and hot chocolate! It got really cold Friday night, but it cleared up really nice for most of Saturday we got a game in of Frisbee golf before the talent show with about 20 people throughout the whole property. The property is 140 acres up Cedar Canyon (just so ya know) then during the talent show it got pretty rainy again. We decided to head out so we wouldn't get stuck in the mud somewhere going down the mountain, Preston and I drove down with lili and dad and everybody pretty much leaves Saturday anyway. It was SO MUCH FUN! I love that family and Preston loves it there too and we always have a blast! Sorry this is a novel! But I just had to tell you all about it! Here are pictures!
