Barrett Family Reunion 2016

ere's what went on this month. Aug 10-12 Barrett Family Reunion 2016!!! Bear Lake Utah. Jared got us there a little early so we did some off roading before check in, and we procured 2 flat tires. That was the only hiccup of the trip though, and Bill came and picked us and our gear up and took us to the lodge. Jared found a tire shop the next day and got them fixed. Overall it was great! Heidi and Gabe did a great job on the itinerary.
Day 1: checking in and getting rooms worked out, dad's famous burritos, playing games inside and outside of the lodge, spiritual thought by Holly on grace, watching some olympics or more games or bed.

As you can see we had a lot of fun. There was some spiritual feasting as well. Heidi and Gabe issued a Barrett Family Challenge to everyone in the family at the beginning of 2016, we set aside some money in the family fund to give cash prizes to all who completed at least two challenges in all four categories--Spiritual, physical, financial, and family history. Kynsie did every challenge except 1 which was more than anyone else could do. It was a blessing to listen to everyone's experiences of setting goals and accomplishing these challenges. I felt we grew individually and collectively as a family this year. Love my family!
