So last night we (Mom, Dad, Maurianne, Graham and I) were talking about starting a new tradition. That with the exciting guests coming next week we could have our first Vernon Dunn Family reunion. (Or as Dad suggested we could call it the Seth H. Dunn reunion as the same people would be attending but we may sound more prestigious with that extra generation included.) Anyway we were thinking for our first one we could perhaps do a day trip, maybe to see the Spiral Jetty or something else cool/fun. We got to talking about it because Graham's family does reunions and they do them every other year (his Dad's family does it one year and the next is his mom's family or they try to do it that way.) I realize that things come up and it won't always be on a perfect schedule and depending where we all end up is a factor as well. Just a thought since we will all be together this summer and could do the first one. Maybe our next one could be to visit David and Jill in Auburn or where ever they may be in 2 years! Let me know your thoughts and ideas or other suggestions. I am so excited for the Dunn Family to get here next week!!

I absolutely think that this should be the first Seth H. Dunn family reunion. I thought of another activity we might want to consider-- a rodeo! There is a RMPRA Rodeo & Fireworks (Adults $5, 6-14 $3, 5 & Under Free) on June 20 & 21. Or, you could just come over to our house around 10 and watch the fireworks. The rodeo grounds are just down the street from our house. Last year it was fun, even though it’s not PRCA. Oh, and one more thing I forgot to mention . . . they usually have mutton bustin'! I know Maurianne will first in line for that! But wait, I think you're too old. Sorry Mauri. You'll just have to live vicariously through your nephews and niece.
I think a rodeo would be loads of fun as well! It looks like the Strawberry Days rodeo is also June 18-20th. It's a little more expensive though (it is a PRCA rodeo). It's $10 for adults and $5 for children.
And yes, I think having a Dunn family reunion every other year or so is a grand idea! Let's do it.
be careful, you may upset some of the other cousins, uncles and aunts. I'm kidding, I think the Idaho gang may be moving toward a model like this too.
