We had the Mangus family reunion during the weekend of Lovell's Days. There were lots of fun filled days with lots and lots of cousins!

One of the days, we went to the Ranch that Uncle Newell and Aunt Garnet owned with Grandpa and Grandma Mangus. We all met out there, had lunch, visited, played games and did lots of exploring of the beautiful country. It was a great day!

The kids are standing in front of the old barn.

Ashley loved sitting on the foot bridge watching the water go by.

Jared was busy reading the flyer and keeping up with the bigger boys.

Jacob had a blast exploring all around with his cousins!

Emily enjoys the outdoors too! She wanted to take a "hike" with her dad.

The kids are standing in the doorway of the old school house.

The girls and I in front of the barn.

Some of the cousins exploring along the stream.
Ryan ended up being their trail guide, taking them up on one of the nearby hills.

Russel and Jacob experimenting with their cattail leaves.

I taught Taylor and Emily how to weave the cattail leaves from by the pond.

Emily showing Ashley her "find". It was some cocoon of some bug.

The views were BEAUTIFUL!

Here are some of us that stayed into the early evening.

We all got together, later that evening, in our yard and got a big group shot of ALL the families. Celia took the pictures and we're excited to see how they turned out.
