Dinsdale family reunion

Last Saturday, we had a reunion with most of my brothers and sisters and their families. We went up to my brother-in-law Gary's parents house. They live up on the mountain close to the entrance to Sardine canyon. They have a pond and it's really nice. Jeremy and Alex got to swing on a rope swing, go on the rowboat in the pond, feed the fish and Jeremy swung from another rope swing into the pond. I took Alex out on the rowboat and Ben joined me. When we got off the boat, Ben handed Alex the camera and he also had his hat. As we went onto the grass, Alex looked at us both and just kinda laughed and tossed the camera and his hat into the water! As I screamed, Ben hurried and decided to take his shoes and socks off and get into the pond to go after the camera. As soon as he got in the water, he leapt out and said he was going to need stitches. He had sliced his big toe on a rock when he got in the water. Two of my brother-in-laws helped wrap his foot and drove him to our van on the 4-wheeler (not the way he wanted to ride it) and I drove him back to North Ogden to get stitches. It was a pretty deep cut and required five big stitches. Needless to say, Alex knows not to do that again (I hope!!). And just a tip. If something falls in the water, camera, cell phone, etc., put it in a bowl of rice and let it sit for a few days and it's fine. We did it with the camera and it's good!

Sounds like we left before all the action began ;) We did have a lot of fun though, especially Annabelle. It was good to see you!
