Sorenson Family Reunion 2010

The North Rim of the Grand Canyon-Sorenson Family Reunion 2010, August 5th-8th

My dad's brother Hal was in charge this year and he did an awesome job! It rained a lot, but other than that, we had a lot of fun. There were lots of small hikes and drives to go on and lots of picture opportunities. The canyon is beautiful and it's the first time I'd been there.

Our little family and Kristan decided to break up the drive a bit, and Wednesday night we drove to St. George to stay the night with Jimmy and Rylee. Thursday when we were driving the rest of the way to the campsites, there was a HUGE rainstorm that flooded the roads in Colorado City. It was pretty scary. That was not the last rainstorm we would see this weekend. As soon as we got there and started setting up the tent, it poured on us so we put the "Easy Up" over the tent and finished setting it up. We decided to keep the Easy Up over our tent the entire time and I think it saved our tent from being drenched and flooding as so many other tents did that weekend.

I don't remember exactly when we did everything, but I do remember there was a horrible rain storm Friday night that lasted all night and half of the day Saturday. Ellie and I ended up staying the in the tent most of the morning so we wouldn't freeze and get soaking wet. We did a lot of visiting, walking, singing, eating, and just enjoying one another. We really think Hal did an awesome job preparing everything for us and I'm not sure I could ever have pulled that off. Thanks Hal! We had a really great time.
