Best Family Reunion Ever

Wednesday evening, July 21st, we met at Lava Hot Springs (about 35 miles southeast of Pocatello, Idaho) for a Dodge Family Reunion. Teri and Kristi's family were all there. Michael's family drove out from Georgia and were all there. Suzi's family was all there except Trent (who is working in Ohio for the summer). We stayed at a KOA on the Portneuf River, which included a cabin for Alice and I (Picture 1) and a group tent area for the others (Picture 2). Brianne provided games in a "special game tent" (Picture 3) and "cousin bracelets" (Movie 1) and some treats for all. The river cascaded beautifully beside our camp (Picture 4) and there were even fun diversions for little boys (Picture 5). Most of Thursday was spent tubing on the Portneuf River (about a half mile from our KOA (Pictures 6-9). There were a few spills (Movie 2), but everyone had an enjoyable time with minimal scrapes and bruises. After breakfast and bracelets Friday morning, we packed up (Picture 10) and went home.
