June 2-9, 2012 Family Reunion in Orlando
We had a family runion in Orlando so our whole family could be together before we leave. We had all of our children and their families join us for a week in Florida. All 21 of us were there for a great time spending time together, visiting Universal Studios, and even spending a day at Coco Beach. Ryan, Heidi, Dallin, Carley, and Peter were the first to arrive, checked in at the Grande Vista Resort, bought food, and helped pick the rest of us up at the airport. Gina, Aaron, Kaden, Ethan, Trevor, and Luke came from Heber City. Britt, Casey, Treyson, Chloee, and Nixson arrived from Highland, and Megan and Shane flew in from New York City. We drove from Wyoming and stayed with Kara in Provo before flying together. We are so grateful for Ryan and Heidi for all they did because all the rest of us arrived fairly late Saturday.
Although we didn't get to sleep very early because of all our visiting, we were up in good time to attend church. It was Fast Meeting and we so enjoyed the spirit and strength of the testimonies that were born. We also enjoyed Sunday School, Primary, and Priesthood meetings. After church, we has a leisurely day of family and getting acquainted with the resort.
Meal were planned in advance with different family members in charge of different meals. Ryan and Heidi took the first big meal which was greatly appreciated and enjoyed. Other family members took charge of meals during the rest of the week. Grande Vista Resort accomodated our family very well for the week with swimming pools, activities center, BBQ areas, and a big lake
On Monday, we all wore our Robinson Family tee shirts and headed to Universals Islands of Adenture because everyone was excited to see The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Everyone loved our tee shirts that Aaron did such a fantastic job creating and getting for all of us. Even the Characters couldn't help but notice. They took us backstage for a personal photo shoot.
