Photos: Jean & Catherine Simons Family Reunion - Batch 2

We have so many great photos to share, thanks to Bob, Cindy and Jeana. Today's post will include the photos from the beginning of the reunion. While everyone was arriving, we had a few activities, including a "5-Minute History" that each of the descendants filled out. They also took an Instax photo and attached that to their history. We'll be sharing each of those histories here on the blog after we get through all of the photos, and then we'll keep the histories in the reunion binder.

We are so grateful to each of you who contributed in a myriad of ways to the reunion day. So many offered help, and we gladly accepted it! In fact, we used some of you to the point where we're not sure if you'll be stepping foot back into Utah again. 😏 Thank you, thank you, to all... from the bottom of our hearts! We know everyone is very busy and it means so much to us that you took time from your busy schedules to help wherever it was needed, and also to attend. We love you!

We loved seeing the quilts Catherine made for her.
grandchidren. Whata treasure each of these is, with
so many memories included with each piece of fabric!
