Aren't they? On Monday night, for example, Mark and Maria distributed personalized bags to each child. Bags to collect coins (earned throughout each day for good behavior). Coins to trade in for treasures.
(Positive reinforcement = positively wonderful.)And didn't Suzy design cool Truman tees this year?
The week was full of all the traditional fun: Seven Peaks (and pink cheeks).
Bowling, bowling, bowling.
(Which was beautiful!)
Wes and I talked a few times about how much we loved the treasure theme Mark and Maria initiated for the week. Because to us, that's what family is: treasure. The kind that only appreciates over the ages (and throughout the eternities). We are so grateful for a rich heritage. For priceless relationships. For treasured memories.

And breakfast in the windy canyon.
Where the guys took to the field...
...and the girls?
The little girls found plenty to do.
One thing that was unique to this year's reunion itinerary: A tour of the Oquirrh Mountain temple.
(Which was beautiful!)
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. Matt. 6: 19-20

I too love the treasure theme that they introduced for the week. That might be something worth while to try at our house, perhaps along with a pirate themed week.
Never realized how similar Wes and Mark look, no questions asked that they are brothers but then again all Truman's look alike, just like the Call's.
Can't wait to get together again and play, hopefully very soon!
i loved looking at all these pictures with all the cute cousins. yes, i agree with lucy...cousins are the best!
Thanks for hosting and thanks for posting!!! I love all the memories and yes, our treasure is our family! (I did find some coins in my suitcase though, Mark and Maria, that was so much fun!)
Found some coins in my suitcase too...not to mention the key! Glad it got there. Thank you so much for being so great! So much fun and a perfect place!
Oh, how fun! You both have such great families. And may I comment on how gorgeous you are in that picture of you holding Spencer!
How fun is that! We are at a family reunion right now as well! Aren't they the best?
Truman Treasure for sure... Loved reading about it.. So happy to see the Patriarch in good form.
I like the idea of the Trumans doing all these great things...(and then maybe the Packer Gang can copy them!!!!) We are not so dumb...eh?
Great Group of People we all love!
Our siblings really need to start procreating at a faster clip! Our kids have one cousin and I do feel a bit sad for them not to grow up with a whole bunch - mine will be the oldest of all and may be too old and grown up to play with their cousins by the time they finally start coming at a faster pace. :)
wow... i can't believe what fun that must have been! way to go for being such "funsters" darling kids, parents, and grandparents! love you all!
That looks like too much fun!!
