Every other year on the second weekend in June, Caineville is our destination of choice. It's time for the Peterson reunion. That's Jared's great-grandpa on his dad's side.
Caineville is on the East side of Capitol Reef National Park. It is a really unique place in the middle of nowhere. There are just a handful of families (3-4) that live there. Half of them are related to us. There is also a motel that fills up with our family during the reunion. Otherwise the area is filled with a few small farmers and ghost-towns. Here are some distant cousins playing horseshoes in Caineville.
We love the mesa above Michael and behind the town. It is the backdrop of the reunion festivities.
This is Stan, Jared's dad, and two of his brothers serving dinner.
We added playing in the water to our usual agenda of exploring, looking for rocks, eating, making crafts, talent show, and raffle....
We are enjoying family reunions even more this year cause we will probably miss some after we move across the country.

This is such a beautiful place! I'm glad you are taking pics there- so many memories. Thanks for the updates and hope Jordan heals quickly :)
I love family reunions! Seeing your pictures brings back so many memories of my family reunions when I was young. These memories will be treasured by your boys forever.
