Miller Reunion at Palisades near Manti

The neatest thing about this reunion started before the party began.  We did a live temple session at the Manti temple.  My Dad and Mom were working and participated.  It was very special to have three generations present. My dad was emotional seeing all of us there.  It was very special.

For the actual reunion we had four generations.  It's weird that I'm not the kid anymore. 
After the temple we congregated at my parents, Janet and Rob Miller. We had to make a few ornaments with Grandma Miller. 
Do you think we have enough sandwiches?  We sent a few home with college kids.  Kate and Kat holding the sandwiches.  My sister Melinda with her daughter Rachel and her granddaughter Rose were one of the 4 generation groups.  Melinda is only one year older than me. 
When we got to Palisades Kyle, Tommy, Matt and Jed went out on the paddle boats.  At the picnic table with Kate, Tess, baby Dan, Abigale, Olivia.  In back are Travis, Jeff and Mary.  A picture with Nathan and Olivia.  Another picture with Laurie, Aaron, Eliza, Polly, Gwen and Blair. The kids spent all day on the canoes and paddle boat. Gwendolyn, Polly with Heidi Jo's baby Bridger, Heidi Jo, Blair and Brandon are on the dock. Abigail is a Freshman at BYU. Others who were present were Ashley, Kathryn and Erin Christensen, Susie, Paul and Amanda Johnson, Megan and Susie Liston.  The talent show included a dance routine by the Jones family chorographed by Katelyn, a complicated handshake by Katelyn, Kat, and Polly, Megan and my spoof dance routine to Party in the USA and Boogie, Woogie, Bugle Boy. The Dance party was the highlight of the day and went on for a while.  Look at those moves. We've definitely got the beat or we think we do. Susie and Nataliwe found some little snakes that provided all day entertainment. We ended with Mom and Dad singing "Walkin in the Winter Wonderland" just for old time's sake.  It was a lovely day!
