BRANSON!

Last month was our Lewis Family Reunion at Branson, Missouri.  We have been talking about it and looking forward to it for a long time.  Pierre and I took off from Provo the weekend before, and drove to Wichita.  We were there for a couple of days, before taking off with my family to Branson.  We were in Branson from a Monday to a Friday.  We stayed in cabins, up in the Ozark area.  We were only a couple minutes from Silver Dollar City, which was the main reason we went to Branson.  There are about 80 people in the Lewis family, and around 50 were able to attend the reunion. 
We spent two days at Silver Dollar City.  We did roller coaster rides, went to an evening concert, ate some good food, and had fun looking in all the neat stores.
Each night we were able to all gather around the pavillion by the cabins and talk.  We did a good amount of swimming too. 
It was a fun, but fast week.  Pierre and I were definitely depressed when we had to drive back to Provo.  It was a memorable week, and a fun week to see all the Lewis relatives.  I loved being able to show Pierre around Silver Dollar City too.  We went there so many times when I was younger, so I was able to relive so many memories with my husband.


Waiting for the eveing show to begin.

The women :)  Love them all!

BYU Graduation Weekend

It was kind of awhile ago,(back at the end of April) but Pierre and I had a full weekend during graduation weekend. My parents came out to Provo, since Chelsea and Jessica were graduating from BYU.  We spent Thursday evening and all day Friday on campus, attending the graduation events.  It was neat to see them both graduate and cross the stage with big smiles.  I remember how that feels, and it sure is a happy day.  I can't believe I have been a graduate for 3 years now! 
It was especially neat to see Chels graduate.  I have been out here with her, throughout her entire college career. We even had a class together and would study and work together when we were in school at the same time.  We have some great Provo memories for sure. I love that girl.
Here are some pics taken around campus, and also some from the graduation party we had for Chelsea, Jessica and Christine.  There were 3 graduates from the family this year, so we had to have a party for them.  We had a party up in Spanish Fork.  It was a great weekend, full of family and celebrations.
