We had our Dastrup reunion this past weekend and had a great time playing and seeing so many cousins and family members. Lots of singing, food, visiting and fun was had by all. Here are some pictures that document it.
Kenn, Pat, Jerald, Jeannie, Camille, Scott, Sherrie, Deanna, Paula, Annette, Kaye, and Randy (12 of the 15 children still alive)
Here is Emily getting her craft on with Grandma Dastrup…. and Alyssa is being oh so helpful! 
Then it was time for a nap… but isn’t her visor so cute (she wouldn’t wear it)
Emily showing off her crafting skills.
Even Brandon joined in on the crafting fun. Here he is making a frame for his temple picture with Eliza and Eva.
Here’s Amelia with the newest grandbaby…. Kimball

Next, on to face painting. Brandon got Volcanoes.

The little boys…. Rex and Tommy! Not so little anymore.
and more chatting.
What’s a reunion without water games?
All that fun in the sun was just to much for some to handle.
I think every available camera had atleast one of these of Bobby.
Rachel with her beautiful blue eyes and bright red hair.
Grandpa Jerald Dasrup
Mike handing out 873 Skittles (to anyone who would eat them) that he won in the guessing game as everyone visits some more.

Writing to Elder Dastrup (Samuel)
Everyone had to get in on the action.
But best of all… we love our (Great) Grandma Marylene Dastrup. Everyone had to get a chance to visit with her for a few minutes.
We had such a great time at the reunion…. a big thanks to all those who helped plan and organize it. There was so much fun to be had by everyone, and tons of great food to fill our bellies as we did so. Thanks again and we look forward to our next reunion in 2 years.

I am sad. I wish I could have been at the reunion. It looks like it was tons of fun! PS, do you know how I can get a login to the dastrup family website? I would like to update it for my family, but I asked my mom and she doesn’t know where the login is or if she even has one. So I’m just trying to find out how I can login to update. Thanks!
