Bates Family Reunion


We had a fun 5 days in Utah last week. We went up there for Keith's Mom's family reunion. All of Keith's immediate family stayed at his sister's house. We had lots of fun swimming, shopping, and playing during the days before the reunion. We went to the Bees Minor League Baseball game for the 4th of July with the whole Bates family. The fireworks after the game were great! On Saturday morning we got to go to Hannah's (our niece) baptism. It was wonderful. That afternoon we met at a big park next to a church building with all the Bates and had fun on a giant slip 'n slide, and enjoyed crafts, food, games, and visiting.
My sister, Amber, and her husband, Michael, were up in the Salt Lake area for the 4th of July also. They live in Wyoming so we were very excited to be able to pick them up on Sunday night and drive down a little ways to Cedar Hills to visit my Uncle Mark's family. His daughter, Katherine, is getting married this weekend and so we brought them wedding presents and had a fun little visit.

I'm glad you had a great time in Utah. Family reunions are always fun. Here is my memory of you. I remember the time when we wrote that letter to Brandon for his birthday. We would always come up with fun ideas to do or make for people. We have so many memories that will last a forever. Your the greatest friend I could ever ask for.
