Morgan Family Fun 2008!

The week of July 20-26 the Morgan clan headed up to our wonderful family cabin. We all were looking forward to the week because ALL 31 and 3/4 (Amanda is having a baby!) of us were going to be there! My sister Allie took up the planning, which was great! Each one of us families had a day that we were in charge of.
Sunday: Pirates and Princess Day by us
Monday: Christmas by sister Suz and Shawn
Tuesday: Spy Day by sister Kristin and Jeff
Wednesday: Birthday Party by sister Allie and Brad
Thursday: Mardi Gras by brother Brandon and Amanda
Friday: Fiesta Fun by brother Peter and Cori
Saturday: Cleaning Day by mom and dad!
Of course, there was A LOT of food and fun. We all had a good time. M enjoyed playing with her cousins so much, when it was time to go on Saturday the cousins were pretty sad that the week had ended. Ryan had to work most of the week, so he went home early Monday morning. I didn't think he would be back up until Friday to bring us home, but Wednesday evening he showed up and surprised his girls! It was great to have him back and get to spend more time with us. There were a few moments of stress with Megan, of course she has my personality and we can clash at times, but overall she was good.
Saturday we had a very special surprise for my dad. We threw him a surprise retirement party. Now, my dad officially retired last year, but we slowly did it and then moved on to St. George so he was never given the proper send off. So, with the whole family being in town we went for it! My dad was so surprised - he told me he has never been so surprised in his life! There was a lot of family and friends that showed up; people he had done work for, and his boss of 20+ years (before branching 100% out on his own) Budd Rich came down from Wyoming. It was really nice and a great tribute to a wonderful, hardworking guy - love ya dad!

I won't post all of the pics - way too many! My sis-in-law took over 500 that week; of course she also took all of the family pics too. On average there were about 200 pictures taken each day between all of us! CRAZY!!!
