This year we have had many fun adventures and many good memories. It seemed that the summer flew by quickly but when I think back on it, we did so much that it consumed the entire summer! We had three family reunions, one of which we were in charge of planning! This was our Collett reunion with family we had never met so it was such a treat to meet so many new faces.
Jake and I spent a whole week, just the two of us, in Yellowstone National Park and camping in Colter Bay. We went canoeing and hiking, fishing and site seeing. Saw lots of wildlife and made our annual trip to the Yellowstone Lodge. Such a beautiful part of this country and we look forward to going each year!
For Jake's birthday, I surprised him with tickets to one of his favorite bands, Nicklback. It was such a well done concert and Jake loved the pyrotechnics as well as the music.
Jake also got to go with a buddy of his jeeping and biking in Moab. We began this friend tradition a few years back when we would rent a hostil for a week and jeep all day long!! We now leave that tradition for the men to carry on because it became more of a constant hard attack for me on the ledges in Moab than it did fun.
Finally, the reunion that Jake and I hosted was our every two year reunion for the Patch family. Every two years my dad's side of the family has a family reunion placed in my grandparents yard so nicely nestled in the beautiful area of Midway, UT. My family takes reunions VERY seriously and we are very serious about fun and competition. Both of which we pulled off!! We had a fabulous time seeing family again and eating lots of great catered food. Can't wait to see what 2012 has in store.
