Decker Reunion 2009



Last week was our Decker Reunion. It was so much fun. We went to Park City for a week. Most of the time we had fun swimming, playing games, and talking which we love to do! One day we ventured out and we all went to Lagoon. Our kids had so much fun. We didn't know if Isaac would be afraid or if he would like the rides. Turns out he loved it. There was one ride that scared him, but Bjorn was riding with him and comforted him. One night, some of the boys went to the Bee's Baseball Game, while the girls stayed back and played games. We had an awesome 4th of July. We all gathered on the corner and did some of our own fireworks and had a perfect view for the big firework show. Thank goodness we didn't have any major mishaps. Just a minor one when Aaron accidentally threw a firecracker out in the street at the same time as an SUV was driving by. It was tiny and there wasn't any harm, but the couple driving decided they needed to throw a fit and come yell at us and curse at us in front of all the kids. Lame. We had a couple firesides during the week. We got a chance to hear from Ben who was recently called to serve as bishop in their ward. We heard about the Wallentines experience living in Belgium for a year and a half . We got to hear from Katie and Kenny who went to Germany after she graduated. We heard from Jason who just returned home from his mission and from Ryan who will be leaving in October for his! We also heard form Eric P who was recently chosen to try out for the US Open. Pretty cool stuff from all of them! All in all, it was an awesome week. I loved hanging out with my family. I wish we could do that more often! It's always nice to get home, but I miss being able to just wake up and see my whole family.

How fun! I love your family! Maybe next year we could have a combined Orton/Decker reunion. Just a thought.

I got to see your parents right before they left for the reunion. They were so sweet to come up to Seth's farewell talk (crazy--huh? time flies!) It was so good to see them...your dad is just as funny as ever. Love them both!
