Ricks Family Reunion.

It's not very often that we get to spend time with Kevin's family.  His parents and all of his siblings live in Washington and so our visits there and their visits here are far and few in between. This past week however, Kevin's mothers side, The Ricks, hosted a reunion filled with a day at the lake, an afternoon in Park City and an evening of family history.  We wrapped up our weekend with a lovely homecoming for Kevin's cousin Nathan who spent the last two years in Taiwan on an LDS mission.  It was so great to spend time with the other side of the family and although we missed Kev's brother and his wife and their children, and uncle Doug, we had a blast with Kev's parents, his sisters and the extended Ricks family.
