First Annual Davis Family Picnic----June 10

We gathered in Canyon Park, near the mouth of Spanish Fork, Canyon on June 10th for the FIRST EVER Davis Family Picnic. It lasted only a few hours, but there is a certain kind of joy that is saved for big family gatherings and it makes any effort to make it happen worth it. There were more from the Marvin branch than any of the others.  There were alot of conflicts that day, but it happened!

We played 9-square.

This was the long line waiting to get in. 

We played ladder ball.

We raced cars!

We visited and rubbed shoulders.

Brenda and Little Zion Marvin.

Of course we ate well!

Charly Davis with some of Uncle Richard's grandkids.

Bethany was able to pick up her kids for the day.

There was little doubt that Grandpa 

and Hans had missed each other.

The highlight was the program. Each branch of the family honored their 

parent with a song that reminded them of that parent and some experiences 

to share why.  We chose "I Love to See the Temple."  We shared all the 

connections Grandma M had with the Payson Temple before and after she 

passed away.  It was interesting that three of the four chose a Primary Song. 

None of us will ever forget that an Apostle and old friend , 

Elder Dallin H.  Oaks, visited Grandma the day of the Payson 

Temple Ground Breaking.  He gave her a blessing that day.
