Capson Family Reunion 2016

It has been 7 years since the Capson family has all been gathered in one place. Seriously, not since my wedding had we all been together. With family living in various parts of the country and each family having lots of kids of their own, it is hard to gather us all. But with the oldest niece headed off to college this fall we thought it was the best time to have a reunion before more and more of the kids are in college, on missions, or starting families of their own (eek!).  

So, we finally put together a family reunion and I'd say it was the best family gathering we've ever had. I'm so glad all 40 of us (missing Carsten, otherwise it'd be 41) could make it work.   We all traveled to Las Vegas, where my brother Stephen lives. We all stayed at various places; my sisters Darlaina, Shara and I stayed at the Aliante Resort Hotel with our families. The rest of the families dispersed themselves among Stephen's house and his in-laws places. Darlaina and Stephen came up with the itinerary and designed and ordered t-shirts for everyone. Each day was filled with fun activities and because there was a schedule and everyone pretty much took care of their own food and families the week went smooth and we all had a great time.

One evening just the adult girls spent an evening at the top of the Stratosphere. We ate dessert at the Top of the World restaurant. The restaurant rotates and you can see all of Las Vegas--it was such a romantic atmosphere--perfect for all 8 of us ladies. Lol! While eating we saw people jumping off the building--it totally freaked us out and we determined we are all completely chicken and nobody could dare us or pay us enough to jump.
