Aspen Grove Family Reunion!!!

We had so much fun at Aspen Grove. It's a beautiful place, and all 42 of Karen Davis's descendants were there. And there were sports tournaments! Utopia.

KC rocked the climbing wall.
Rachel and cousin Ben shot things. I hope they weren't aiming at those on the climbing wall.

KC panned for gold, and found quite a bit. Amazing!

Ryan being cool, showing off the dimple with cousins McKay and Dallin.

Fun Times at the Family Reunion

Oh, the cafeteria! So great to not have to worry about any kitchen chores for a week! Show up, eat, and, go play some more!! Meet cousin Jake in this picture.

The swinging couch was good for Rachel, Jax, Anna, and Megan
I had the unique opportunity of playing tennis against President Monson's grandson. He is ranked #4 in the state of UT, and would probably be #1 if he played as many tournaments as the other guys. We had a very good, hard-fought match, which he was forced to retire at 4-4 in the 3rd set. He got upset with himself, and his dad (the Prophet's son, Clark) told him he was done, and to go shake hands. Did I mention he was 12 years old? Anyway, this is me, sweaty and victorious.

KC enjoyed the face painting. His choice of design shows very good taste. Or have I cursed him to a life of despair?

Aspen Grove Adventures

KC enjoyed the pool with his orange goggles.

I like how Jax joined our family picture

2nd Annual Annual Tennis Trip

Again, I took a bunch of tennis players to Colorado Springs to play in a couple of tournaments and so I could spend a little time with my mom! Now that I'm coaching the boys team as well, this year's trip was much different. 5 boys and one girl. Taryn got the upstairs with Mom; the boys and me got the basement. This picture shows us with Brian, the famous tournament director from the Memorial Park tournament who broke up the "incident" last year when one of my girl's parents has to defend himself from an overzealous (some might say insane) parent of an opponent (my girl won). "Get Brian!" has been our team motto ever since.

We went to Garden of the Gods to hike around and pose on the day between the two tourneys.And, of course, the customary group picture before going home. At least, we thought we were going home. We went home after fixing a flat and had to default the last day of matches in Pueblo. That was a big disappointment, but nevertheless, a memory and a story to tell to future tennis generations.

And the last stop on the KC trip...

We stopped at Grandma Davis's house and went for the "Pride Rock" hike

And Ryan threatened anyone who dared to take his picture
