| The skit is about to begin. |
The McKea family reunion was held this year at Flaming Gorge, Utah. Joe and Andy were the hosting couple, and what a great job they did! Everyone had activity and food assignments.
 |
| Good entertainment! |
 |
| "Ride um," cowgirl! |
 |
| Nobody juggles like this. |
 |
| Andy & Joe |
 |
| We are going on a dam tour! |
Perhaps the main event was the float trip on Friday morning. We launched our three rafts, each holding 6 or so people, from a point just below the dam. Almost immediately the water started to fly. Even the people in the so called, "dry raft," got soaked.
 |
| Watch it! |
The "water wars" were continual, and about 3 hours later we reached the docking area absolutely soaked and cold, but with big smiles. Even Katie, who inhaled some water as she fell off the raft, recovered quickly after getting some food.
 |
| Sherry won the cheese ball contest! |
 |
| Rachael is looking good! |
The rapids were great, as were the "Minute to Win It" games that were held later that evening. Everyone was assigned to a team, and a competition was held. Lots of fun and laughter was had by all!
One thing that will not be forgotten was the 50 mile bike ride that Mike, Joe, Andy, and Jeff took to Manila and back. The leg cramps really got to these hardy bikers.
 |
| Julie always has a smile! |
As for me, I only made one trip down the Green River, then Grandma and I, with the younger kids, made a beeline back to our rooms at the resort, for showers, snacks, and games. All the others were brave enough to make a second trip on the river.
 |
| What happens next? |
 |
| Is he really going to pour water! |
What makes a great family reunion? Lots of fun and laughter, I am sure.
Grandma and I are in charge of organizing the next one in three years. We will let you know where, but first you have got to give us a least a year to recover from this one. Ha ha.
 |
| You better be careful, Rachael! |
 |
| Grandpa loves a good breakfast! |
 |
| The water's great. Come on in! |
 |
| Breakfast in the breezeway! |

It was an absolutely perfect reunion! Thanks, Joe! And Andy!
Joe McKea It was way fun! I'm sure you'll do just fine. Sher and I talked about maybe every couple of years instead of every three. Any thoughts???
Bev McKea We are there even if it's an annual thing. Just chat it over and we will be there!!! :-)
Sherry McKea Noorda I'm all about cheesey!
My vote is to do it more often too. Three years is a long time. A few of the grandkids will only have one more reunion if we wait three years.
It was a fabulous time!
This was so much fun. Thanks for posting so many great pictures. I make a mean JB!
