Terry Family Reunion in Albion Idaho - Day 3

Last day at Albion! Our time here went far too fast. Gosh, what a fun and memorable time it was!

Terry Family Reunion in Albion Idaho - Day 2

The day started out with breakfast, obviously, and crafts!

Breakfast was fruit cups, yummy breakfast cookies, sausage..

Crafts were all kinds of things! Painting birdhouses or treasure boxes and canvases 

River & Hot Springs Fun!

Sunday afternoon we drove an hour to a hot springs that also had a river flowing right by it. Such an interesting experience. It felt so good to soak in the warm water as well as wade through the colder water. I just really wish I had brought my water shoes!

Labor Day Weekend Reunion w/Inlaws

On our drive through Nevada and then in to Idaho, we saw smokey skies... 

Albion Idaho Reunion Eats

We had so many good meals while we were at the reunion but one of my favorites was an interesting dish. They had 2 tall metal containers that looked like old fashioned milk buckets. The canning lid rings were put in the bottom first, then layered (I guess) with ham, potatoes, carrots, cabbage, cauliflower and mushrooms. Steamed for a couple hours (I think) and dumped out in to these sled trays for everyone to dish up. It smelled fantastic and was so filling and good.

 

Evenings in Albion with Smores!

 

 

 

Anyone who knows me by now should know that I love s'mores! I found some s'mores trail mix that is good. Some s'mores gum that is...interesting. I ate my share of s'mores and roasted marshmallows at the reunion.

 

 

 

A great way to end the evenings in Albion. That and the fact that there were 3 screech owls flying around too! So fun!

Albion Idaho Campus Retreat

I went with no expectations to Tony's family reunion because honestly I did not know how it would even go. I was more than happy by the end of the weekend that it was so fun I wish it could have lasted a day or two longer!

 

This is the building we stayed in on campus called Miller Hall and the whole place is called the Albion Campus Retreat.  The campus used to be for the Normal School, where teachers went to learn how to be teachers before universities were established for this kind of thing.
