Sargent Family Reunion 2012

This year for the Van and LarRene Sargent family reunion Steve and Angie were in charge of it.  They planned a great low-key reunion at Rigby Lake.  It was perfect because with everything going on with the family this year going to a far-away place just didn't seem to be very practical.  Between Sara having new baby twins, Mom and Dad taking care of Grandparents and Reid on the road all week this ended up being the best solution.

Rigby Lake has undergone a lot of improvements and it is really a nice place to stay.  They have electricity and water hook ups.  It made it really nice for us to plug in our trailer and have air-conditioning.  It was very hot- like upper 90's so the air conditioning was heaven sent.

Friday evening we had a nice dinner and then went over to a grass area and had a fun family softball game.  It was actually a lot of fun.  It was really fun to see the everyone playing so well and had some good laughs with Leah taking a tumble, and to see Sara who just delivered twins after being on bed rest for 4 months running around the bases.  Mitchel had a bit of an attitude saying "I just don't like the idea of playing softball at a family reunion."  He ended up having fun, and even Reid got into the action and hit a home run with a ball going clear back into the trees never to be found again.  I loved watching Treyton getting into the action, he, Savanna, Easton, and Cooper love the game.

We also floated the River by Rigby Lake on Saturday morning, that was very fun and relaxing.  It was pretty un-eventful other than a few incidents with float tubes getting holes in them.  Reid had to get out after just a few minutes cause our brand new row boad got a hole in it and right at the end of the ride Savanna and Easton's floaty went flat and they had to walk the rest of the way home.

I was loving my lounge chair to float down the river in, it was quite flat by the end of the ride

Savanna and Easton, their chair got so flat they had to walk at the end

Easton had a fun little craft for the kids, they all made their own catapults, which they loved.  Then we spent the rest of the day playing at the lake.   It was really nice to be able to enjoy each others company and relax a bit.
