Briscoe Family Reunion

On June 24 Miriam and I caught a ride to Rigby with Mom and Jennifer to spend some time and go to the Briscoe reunion that Dad was in charge of. It was a late journey, but it was nice to just be there the next morning. Dad ended up having some appointments fall through on Thur so we went to the 'rock' park waiting for others to get up and Miriam had a ball.

Most of our time in Rigby was spent having Grandma and Granddaddy enjoying Miriam, we didn't do much that was very exciting. Both of them expressed how fun it was to either wake up to a smiling girl or come home from work and have her light up when she saw them. Miriam took right to Granddaddy and was always dragging him off outside. We did watch several movies including Fireproof- an excellent show I would recommend to anyone.

In my Dad's family for reunions they have gone to having a one day affair and alternating with a bigger more exciting one. This year it was the one day. We went up to Ross Park in Pocatello and had a picnic lunch with some games. My dad also prepared a presentation about his grandmother Briscoe- Eldora Hanson. Then we moved to Aunt Marie's church for a potluck dinner and a missionary meeting for my cousin Nathan who was leaving the following week for his mission. I think it went well and had a decent turnout.


We also got to be there for my sisters birthday which was fun. Miriam got to help blow out candles and we really enjoyed the yummy birthday food.

Where is the "rock park"? I haven't been to Rigby in a while.

The rock park is at the fair grounds, I don't know how long ago they added a big concrete rock that has 3 slides and a cave underneath.
