The Gwilliam Reunion-Outdoor Fun

Bear Lake was beautiful.  The water was turquoise.  The group enjoyed hanging out at the beach, paddle boarding, and tossing the football.  One afternoon we rented a water trampoline and the kids (Aubrey 12 years old up to the 20 year olds) had a great time on it. 



Tanner was a natural on the paddle board.  He gave Henry plenty of rides.  He paddles me out to the trampoline.  You can see the water tramp in the top right of the picture below.

Tanner and Aubrey never wanted to bring their towels down to the beach so they were always mooching from me, Bryn or Dad.  These reunions are always a little tricky for us because they are usually held Utah, California or Idaho.  We never have beach chairs or coolers but everyone is nice to share.  (So I guess we do our share of mooching as well.)

The resort had some fun evening activities: a movie night, an outside dance, s'mores, and Bingo.  Lots of Gwilliams did the s'mores night... few did the movie and/or Bingo night.
I loved taking a quiet walk each morning with the lake view, large trees and nature. I thought this tree carving was really cute.
The Gwilliam grand kids are mostly between 18-25 year old.  I LOVED watching them interact.  They played lots of volleyball and 9 square.  The boys played b-ball and football.  They were always good to include any of the younger kids who were interested.  Aubrey (12) and Henry (8) joined in on this volleyball game.
Megan and Griffin were super cute and worked with Aubrey on her overhand serve.
Jeff and Sarah barbecued hamburgers on their dinner night.  Megan, Griffin, Lindsey and Kyle
Carrie, Tyler and Scott.  Tyler is adorable and was definitely a main attraction.   He will make eye contact, give a shy little smile and then quickly look down.  He also has a cute smirk.  He wasn't too sure about all of the attention but he was still amazingly calm and happy anyway.
