Grant, Christine, Grace, Thaddeus, Madelyn & Ephraim: Family Reunion 2011

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

— Marjorie Pay Hinckley

Family Reunion 2011

We Wrigley's don't do anything too exciting, but it was fun. Here is all of us on top of the conference center (or most of us anyway). We had a tour, fun!

The church history museum has a children's section. If you haven't been there lately, go! They have these skirts you tie on and the boys get vests and they have 2 screens with dancers to teach you a dance! And a bunch of other stuff we never got to because TD stayed here 1/2 the time!

Isn't the reflection pool for playing?

This is my favorite. We took family pics at the Logan temple and this is my parents just talking, they didn't even know I took it. They are so cute!!

This is what these 3 boys did most of the time, all weekend, in the basement mostly with a cool car track that sends the cars flying around curves. TD was in Heaven!

It was fun overall. We all got sunburnt at the water park, roasted marshmallows visited temple square, played with glow sticks, shot off fireworks, the kind that are illegal in Idaho!
