The Avon Young Family Reunion

On the flight from Reno we had to stop in San Diego first. From San Diego to Phoenix there were about 30 people on the plane total, so that was so nice!



The first day we spent at Canyon Lake. It was so nice to be in HOT weather, especially since it ended up snowing after we left Reno the night before.




A picture of the hills behind our resort. We stayed at the Gold Canyon Golf Resort near Apache Junction where Teri's sister Becky lives.

Tim and Logan on Saturday morning.

Saturday we all drove to Tucson to visist Avon's grave and to spend some time with his siblings who get together every memorial weekend.

Tim, Logan, Gav and Brett melting at the cemetary.

Avon's siblings and children - Teri, Debbie, Trina, Becky, a sister of Avon's, Val, Dusty, another sister, Jimmy (can't really see him), Uncle Phil (Avon's brother), Phil's wife and the third sister that was there. Avon has one more sister who wasn't able to make it.

Avon's three (out of 4) sisters singing at the luncheon at the park.
Friends and family of Avon's at the park.

Some of the cousin's who grew up together at the park. Kristy, Tim, Angie, Gav and Tonya.


Logan zonked out at the park.

Everyone who was at the park.

Siblings and spouses (who were there): Debbie, Trina and Steve, Dusty and Georgia, Becky and Dan, Teri and Brett, Jimmy and Wendi, Val and Gary.
All the cousins and their kids and Uncle Phil. Kristy and I are due at the same time and her little girl and Mya also were due at the same time!

Teri and all of her siblings with Uncle Phil: Dusty, Val, Trina, Becky, Phil, Jimmy, Teri and Debbie.

Avon's siblings and his children.
Tim and his cousin Ryan. For those of you who have always thought Tim looks nothing like a Sorensen, now you know where he comes from! I really wish I had gotten a picture of him with ALL of his cousins since most of them weren't at the park in Tucson!

The cactus in front of Becky and Dan's house. I loved the landscape in Arizona - it was so beautiful!!!
Tim and I had such a great time and I loved being able to see where Teri came from and see her family where they are from! Tim realized once we got there that he hadn't been to Arizona in over 10 years! We hope to go back with our kids someday and spend some more time in Tucson with Teri so that she can show us where she lived! Thank you thank you everyone in Arizona for taking such great care of us and planning such fun things! We had a great time!!!

Sounds like we both enjoyed the Southern heat this week.
