Ray Reunion - Day 1

One of the main reasons we wanted to go to AZ is because Mark's parents were having their first Ray reunion with their kids. We kicked of the reunion with a bang. On the first day we went to a park and launched rockets. Each grand kid got their own and chased them down when they landed. It was a nice warm day and the cousins really enjoyed doing this activity together.



Later in the afternoon we had pictures taken. It went really smoothly and quickly which was surprising with the size of the group.

The wonderful couple who made all this possible - Dad and Mom

Brian, Erin, Hunter and Porter
Us
Spencer, Sara, Kaitlyn, Jacob, Annie, and Grace
Derek, Heather, Katherine, Brooke, Alison, Kimball, and Andersen

We ended the evening by going to see the temple lights and then had hot chocolate and donuts at the Madsen's house.
