The Ball Family Reunion

So about 3 weeks ago, we left for the Ball family reunion. It was so much fun. First, we drove up to my dad's parent's house, and stayed there for 2 1/2 days, and we went to Temple Square. It was a beautiful place. We saw the Salt Lake Temple there. It was very pretty. Then we went to the BYU Bookstore and got a few things there. Then, we left for my mom's parent's house and stayed there for a few days. My younger cousin was there, too, so I hung out with her most of the time. Then we left for the reunion. I had a ball! :)


I'm in a group of 4 called the Fab 4. It includes Kylie, Noelle, Mandy, and me. It's so fun to hang out with them. We each made a Fab 4 shirt, and Kylie and I got little iron-on picture to put on the back of our shirts. We messed around, (did pranks, shh!), and we made up this game where we're on teams (I was with Mandy, and Noelle and Kylie were together) and whoever had the towel was it. "It" would chase the other team and throw the towel at them. If it touched one of them, they would be it. It was really fun. We also slept in a tent together, and since it was really cold at night, we would snuggle up close together to stay warm. It would be fun to see them again soon.


Also, while we were there, we went to the lake, and I went tubing for hours. It was AWESOME!!! We also had a talent show, and I played my flute for it. I sort of messed up on the last song, but it was harder, so it's okay.


The only bad thing is that my cousin, Jason, was killed in a motorcycle accident, so we had to stay a few days longer to be there at his funeral. He is on my dad's side of the family. It was very sad. :(

The trip went by so fast, it's already over! I can't believe it! The drive home did seem very long, though. Even though I had a lot of fun, I'm glad I'm home. :)
