Reunion Time

This weekend was the Durtschi Family Reunion. It's one of the few events I look forward to every summer. This one wasn't actually as fun as others we have. This one consisted of the Edward Durtschi family along with the Freidrich Durtschi family. There were TONS of OLD people there I didn't know. Luckily, there were some there that I knew really well and look forward to seeing (and pretty much the only reason I go). Anyway, the reunion was put together very poorly. They had no entertainment for the chillins let alone entertainment for the adults. After lunch there was this old lady that got up and started rambling on and on about how many bishops, primary presidents, missionaries and on and on and on there have been in the 5-7 generations of Durtschi's we have now. I think her figuring was a little off because he stats stated that less than 20 were in each category. Where, there are thousands of people in this family. *sigh* I left during the middle of that.

We ended up with two of my second cousins staying with us, Eric and Analee Edlefsen. On Sunday night, we decided to head up the canyon to look for their uncle (my 1st cousin once removed), Phil. I really can't beleive we found him as we had no idea where he was. We stuck around until about 1 AM taking turns playing the guitar and reminicing about old times. It was a blast.

Next year will be even better I suspect. Phil's sister Chris is planning and I hear we're going to be doing a week long camping trip. The reunion will be much smaller because it will consist of the Alfred Durtschi Family. Alfred is my Great Grandpa and it seems his offspring is much more than dull. I can hardly wait.
