The Jensen Family Reunion (and Ruth tries some Winter sports)

Hello Everyone,

After a very busy August, we are making a post. We started this month off with a week long trip to Utah. This trip had two purposes: 1 (and most important). to have the Jensen Family Reunion. And 2.  to finally move out of our storage unit in Provo to our apartment in Vancouver.

We had a great time in Utah and we were very happy to see so many people. We want to thank Grantpa Reeve for letting us stay with him and go to church with him. It is always fun to talk with him.

August 1st marked the long anticipated reunion of the Jensen family. Uncle Lamar did a lot to make this happen and we were sorry he could not make it himself. There was a very nice turn out of 59 people, including aunts, uncles, cousins, spouses, and children.

Of the six siblings, four were able to make it.

For part of the week we stayed with my immediate family up in Park City. We were able to go and visit the Olympic Park up there. Here, Ruth and Elina are really getting into the spirit of bobsledding:

Then Ruth took on another Winter sport, to see how that was.

Meanwhile, I watched several people participating in Aerials practice. Some of them were pretty good. They would go off the jumps, perform the tricks, and fall into a big pool of water.

Ruth and I also had the chance to ride the zip line running over the ski jump ramps. We are in this picture, but we are very small.

After a quick stroll in a rainy Park City we headed for Provo.

There we visited the Paleontology Museum at BYU.

 

We also wanted to say thank you to our friend Joey and his wife Whitney for letting us stay with them and hold some of his pet lizards.

We finished the trip with a truck ride back to Vancouver and a move-in to our apartment.
