McArthur Family Reunion

In the last five years, the whole McArthur Family has only been assembled two times: Once for a brief visit to Historic Nauvoo for Greg and Michelle's Wedding last Spring, and once a few days ago for a delightfully random family reunion. There was no grand plan made, or invitation extended; however, one by one the McArthur children managed to get off of work and make plans to travel from their homes across the country to spend a little time together at Grandma and Grandpa's house. The adults enjoyed long hours of company and conversation, and the cousins played together like old buddies. It was a special treat, one that we hope we can enjoy again sooner than later. While we were only there for a few days, we still managed to pack in the fun. We also had some casual family photos made, and were privileged to all attend the blessing of the newest member of the McArthur family, Gabriel Kylie McArthur.

Here are a few photos of the cousins:

playing in the sandbox in Grandma and Grandpa's backyard,



playing basketball with Grandpa in Grandma and Grandpa's backyard,



feeding the ducks at Hafer Park,





splashing, sliding, and swimming at White Water Bay,











going crazy at the local U-Bounce,













and listening to one of Grandma's bedtime stories.



Here we are out to dinner for Nicholas' 30th birthday.



And here is a family photo we took while we were all together.
