Pictures please!

ATTENTION !!!

The reunion is fast approaching=)

We are needing pictures by Monday the 14th. With everyone's busy schedule we need them now. If we don't get the pictures by then we will not have the slide show. Justin will be going out of town for a week or two, he has work and school. If it is too hard for people to get him pictures we will just cancell the slide show.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED.

Pictures from anyone who served a mission who is now a part of the family.

Pictures from all the families: weddings, births, parties, family gatherings, old family reunion pictures...

We want pictures of Bob and Glen growing up and their families growing up.

Pictures please!

Here is an email that was sent by Jessica the other day:

We had a meeting last night and we have changed some things. Saturday morning instead of your on your on for breakfast we will have breakfast at the parade. We will send more details later. Friday night skit night is what ever Chris and Robin want to do. Bobbi had some fun ideas about them if you want any ideas. We have canceled the formal activities Saturday afternoon and instead there will be an informal scavenger hunt for the kids and adults can go 4 wheeling, chit chat, take naps, try and get a sun tan, pull weeds or what ever their heart desires.

We will have fast and testimony meeting on the lawn (9am) at the cabin we are asking for causal Sunday Dress. We will have breakfast after church. We have canceled the family hike on Sunday and we will have games and activities the rest of the day, Greg will be in charge. We will close with dinner and then our Missionary Fireside and reunion slide show.

We were throwing around themes last night and we came up with this one "Defenders of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"- on Friday night we will have Bob open talking about the theme and the spiritual meaning etc...

Thanks to all those that have helped plan this reunion. We still have details to work out. If you have any ideas let us know. We are excited about July.

--The Reunion Committee

PS- The reunion starts on Friday night at 5pm the later in afternoon you come up to Heber the worse it is. It has taken family members 5 hours to make the drive. Also the same goes for returning to town. Bob and Sue suggest leaving really early on Monday.

A few other notes:

If you can bring camping chairs please do so- to sit in for the parade, the fireworks and for the reunion in general

If you have a canopy and can bring it please do- it gets hot at the parade and the the more shade the happy the adults are

Right now our count is 56 for the Bob Allen family and 48 for the Glen Allen family but we have not heard from several of the Glen Allen family about who is coming.Please let us know if you are coming or if you are not. We need to know the number for the t-shirts, meals, games, etc...

Why an Allen Family Blog?

To have everything in one spot and just a way to communicate with each other.

This blog is to share info on upcoming family reunions, parties and other Allen Family events. Feel free to share stories, old family pictures, ideas for the reunions etc.

We can have up to 100 contributors on this blog so let me (Bobbi) know if you'd like to be one and I'll add you. I can also add your email address to the blog list. This means every time someone post on the blog, it automatically emails you the post.

And just to make this post more interesting here are a few fun pictures that I had.
