Tucker Reunion 2013

After returning home on a Sunday night, we had 4 days to recompose ourselves to get ready for another reunion, this one was a little closer to home.  The Tucker Reunion was in near Huntsville, UT.  We decided a long time ago that we wouldn't try and schedule a place to stay up there since we didn't know if we'd be here when they were planning it.  Randy's parents only live 30 minutes from the "main home" most of the family was staying at so we opted to stay with them and drive up every day.  We only went Friday and Saturday because Randy needed to work that week.  The house we hung out at was ginormous.  A great reunion house in Liberty, UT.  It had a huge sitting area, plenty of room for the brood that was there.  The funny thing is that friends of our that we knew in Wisconsin, after moving back to Utah, bought a house probably 1/4 mile from where we were staying.  It was a fun reunion  Here is the gang, well most of it anyway.  Masie had a really bad afternoon and was napping and I wasn't about to wake her up for a picture.  I wasn't in the mood to torture myself like that.

 After she woke up, we got a family shot.

On Saturday we went into Huntsville and took a tour of the David O. McKay home.  It as a really interesting home.  It started out with just 2 rooms and was expanded on periodically.  The McKay's always had people coming and going that they had 4 kitchens (1 of them now is bathroom).

 They also had these sleeping porches.  They weren't always closed in.  They were for the summer when they had the most company.  There were like 4 of them.   Also you could tell they kept adding onto the home because there were weird steps to get in and out of different rooms everywhere.  It was really cool.

Peej and Malia before the tour started.

 Our tour guide was a grandson of David O. McKay, so we got real first hand experiences from him.

 When President McKay was younger 2 of his sisters died within a few months of each other from different things.  They made this memorial for them to always remember them.  I thought it was cute.

 And I thought this was hilarious.  Just read.

 The front of the home.  It's a really big home.  I loved exploring the place.  Even if Masie screamed through most of the tour.

Back at the house there was someone always in the indoor pool.  This pool was awesome.  The kids had a blast.  Our family never got over to the reservoir which was fine since this pool was perfect for us. Micah flipping.

 And squirting.

 And the kids fighting over the big inflatable turtle.

We had tons of fun. . .again.  So glad we were able to go.  Till next time Tucker's
