The Nelson Family Reunion....
Tales and folklore have long been told about families reuniting to see their long lost or far away kin. These family reunions, so I have heard, often take place camping in an enchanted wooded forest or in a small town bursting with charm. Family comes from far and wide to catch up on days gone by and when it winds to a close, tears are shed because they do not know when they will see each other again.
That's not us.
Our family has never been able to check the normal box.
Not that we are weird or anything, our family dynamics are just different. My dad is a Nelson; he has one brother and three sisters, all of which live here in town. My Grandma Nelson also lives here. Most of my cousins are here too. So guess where we have our reunions? Yep, right here in Vegas. This year we held our reunion in July. We had a temple night on Friday. On Saturday we enjoyed a lovely, sweaty picnic at the park followed by a splashing fun time at the Hollywood swim park- which we rented out and had all to ourselves. The best part: no tears had to be shed since we would all likely see each other sometime in the next week!!

My niece Ava was baptized on August 3rd. Afterwards we went to my sister's house for dinner and cake. That day also happened to be my Grandma Nelson's 82nd birthday. Since I'm her favorite grandchild I thought it would be nice if she and I got a picture together. Aren't we cute!!
