Sorensen Family Reunion 2010

The annual Sorensen family reunion was held again at Tinney Flat up Santaquin canyon. The families represented were Douglas (Janie), children - Shirl, Dennis, Chris, Russell; John (Jackie), children - John Jr., Jamie, Liz, Emily; Merta Rae, children - Brian, Raylene, Brenda; Jerry (Julie), children - Ryan, Rory, Ashlie; Naoma (Ernie), children - Mark, T.J., Ernie Jr. Several family members were not able to make it this year but a few from Colorado and other places did. The reunion went from July 15th - 18th. Most of the events or gatherings were at Uncle Doug and Uncle Ernie's camp site as the large group site was not available until Saturday afternoon. Below are a few pictures of family members who attended. The highlight of the weekend was the marsh mellow roast with marsh mellows the size of baseballs. Austin was a real pig and ate four of them. (I hope to get a pic of him eating soon)

Don't ask what Lily did with the corn. Good thing we cooked it before we ate it.

I wonder what Aunt Janie was thinking?

Sunday morning tear down. Time to go home.
