The Zismer Family Reunion
Held in Manti Canyon by the resev.

Tammy was in charge this year and she did a great job. She and Todd brought up their horses and let anyone who wanted to ride them. I went on a two hour ride and got a bad sunburn on my face.

This is Sarah and Payton on the horse and Josie standing by it.

Dan and Kary brought up their 4 wheelers and gave rides on those to whoever wanted to go. I think Nana went on one.

Gathering for the family picture is always the highlight of the trip. There's something like 68 if we all show up.

Dan, my oldest sibling, & his wife, Gaylene, are awesome people. They opened their home to the Phister klan for our 2008 family reunion. I'm not sure what they thought they were getting into though. We have a huge family. From Grandma Phister through my Dad there are (and I may be off) 11 children, 51 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. That doesn't include the spouses, that's another 21. and all but a handfull were there. Add that all up and that's 101 (WOW if I'm wrong correct me pleaseeee.

There were people upstairs, downstairs, outside in front, outside in back, and in both bathrooms constantly flushing the toilet. I bet that water bill is sky high.

In the first picture Mike is in the chair, Sarah G on the floor with Noah, Raquel is on the floor in front of Mike and I can't tell who the two others are.


My camera ran out of batteries so these are the only pictures I got.

In the 2nd picture Tiffany is on the end of the couch, (Mom)Grandma Phister is in the middle and Great Grandma Webster is next to her. Amy is on the floor next to Scott on the loveseat and I don't know who is next to Scott on the floor.

On the 4th the town of Riverton, Ut. has their parade and it goes right in front of Dan's home. We all set up spots on his lawn and sidewalk and enjoyed a Nacho table set up for all. As always a water fight broke out somewhere in the family.

On Friday we had our family BBQ. Everyone contributed a salad or dessert and the food carried us all through the weekend.

On Saturday we all packed up and went to 7 Peaks Water Park in Provo. I had never been there before and had quite a fun time, even the older folks got wet on the rides.
In the 3rd picture is one of the twins, then Joni then Jasmine, Sadie, Tanya with her back to us and Donna looking in the cupboard. Not sure who's back we see.

Sarah's Family and me went on up to Roy for a couple of days and stopped back by on our way home for some more visiting. (didn't get enough the first time round)






The last picture is brave Gaylene, she is so fun to be around I wish I lived closer to her.

I just want to add that July 4th is a time to honor our brave soliers who fought to give us this free country. Let's not forget them.

God Bless The USA
