Westcott Family Reunion at Bear Lake

Beautiful Bear Lake. This is the view from our cabin. My great uncle Paul on my dad's side has this place up here. We have been up here about 3 other times than this. It is huge and accommodating for a big group. We always have such a great time here. ( Um, yeah the reunion was back in August! I know, I know! We had such a busy summer. Things just got crazy here! So, now that we are getting hit with cold weather I am able to stay at home and update!)

Meryn

The man who started it all...Mr. Winn Westcott...It is rare you get Winn looking at you smiling like this. I have found he does not like his picture to be taken. So, I caught him in action doing something else! Ha! Winny! Got ya! I did not get a picture of the my mother inlaw that holds the family together :I It is always nice to get together with his family. I enjoy are conversation's! I'm grateful to be apart of Bryce's family. I am grateful to be apart of Bryce's life!

COUSINS: Isley, Cole, Dillon and Stahli. These boys played on this hill the whole time. Boys and dirt right?! They had so much fun!

Ashton with his dump truck at the cabin.

Leaf Run on the Silverton Narrow gauge! We traversed through the high Rockies into the animus valley...breath taking in fall colors!

We met up with Bryce's Brother and his awesome wife and family and camped in Silverton Co. we spent time Jeeping in the mountains, exploring old ancestor mule train routs of travel, shopping, and the highlight was the Silverton (Fall Leaf) Ride to Durango, Co.

Quotes of the trip(insider):

"He da man"

"Rache"

Aloha! A trip to paradise...

Finally! It has taken me a while to post something! I know, I know! So, this is back in July over the 24th. Bryce and I decided to go to Hawaii. We went to the North Shore and stayed at Turtle Bay Resort. It was absolutely beautiful. We had a great time. It was so nice to just relax! We went kayaking,snorkeling, exploring, touring the island and much more. Our favorite part was snorkeling!

The beautiful temple. We had some picture's of us in front of the temple but I am not going to share those with you!

The temple grounds..

Pearl Harbor...taking a boat ride to the USS Arizona.

Bryce viewing the names of those who died at Pearl Harbor.

If you look close you can see the ship in the water...erry!

You know we had to get a game in! So, why not at the "Arnold Palmer" course? It was 2 minutes away and the resort drives you there.

Bryce playing his ultimate sport!

It totally rained on us. Our clothes where all stretched out and wet. We were aware that this kind of weather is normal.

The "pig". I am actually proud of myself for eating meat now. When I came to Hawaii um, maybe 16 years ago with my dance team I was totally grossed out! Now, I can accept that we "normal" humans eat meat! It took a wonderful patient husband to show me the "real world"! ha ha

This is US! Do you like how my face is burnt? When ever we go on vacation we always rent a convertible. You know just to keep us young! Anyway, I always wanted the top down and boy did I get what I deserved! I could barley allow the flower "lea" by my face. I was so burnt!

The Polynesian Culture Center. Another beautiful land that the "church" owns. Nice and clean! :

One of the original boats that came to the Hawaiian islands. Amazing!

Ewe la la! The Tahitian dancers where the best! They are the one's that shake those hips! :)

Ahh...Hawaii has the most beautiful sunset's! I have lots of picture's but this one was my favorite! See the reflection of the sun in the water?!

Another beautiful picture...

This is one of the view's from our resort. We had such a wonderful time! We often reflect on how relaxed and peaceful it was there! We SO want to go back soon! :)

LYMAN REUNION...VIMASHLAPAJATARO

Every reunion there is two quilts that grandma makes. Of course we all want one so put in our money and get a raffle ticket. This is where the family gets most of the funds. Everyone is wanting a quilt! What a brillant idea!! Thanks to the "6" original. (That's my dad and his siblings)Chistopher and Keara playing hacky sac.

Ashton and Azure

The twins were very entertained by a stroller!

The Fort! This is where the kids hung out the most. If we needed any of them they would be there. They had such a blast! It's nice to let them run and be free!

"Coley Pokei" are nickname we call him. Is sitting on his bench that he made. He's so dang creative just like his father!!

The proud owners of making this fort. Cole, Holly, Ashlynne and Keara.

Sis inlaw Jess with baby Jude. Cute picture of them huh?!

Baby Jude

One of the pass time's is coloring the "theme" of the reunion. We had a lot of art this year to choose from. This is great for the kids! It entertain's them well. Also, the adults. :)

We usually always have a "Vima" shirt for the reunion. This year the theme was "Out of this world". Here is J.C., Kandee and Fran making our shirts for us! They were in charge of the reunion this year. It was such an success! Thank You guys!

My cousin Kemberli,me and Amanda. My cousin and I use to play a lot together when we were kids. We would explore the mountains and make forts. She is the same age as me. It is always so good to see her.
