Nielsen Family Reunion

The Nielsen's Family reunion was at Cub River. 

Here are some pictures from FHE put on by Grandma Candice! 

All the Grandkids with their Grandparents!  

The kids love the steps and used them all the time. The littles really loved shutting and opening the door. 

Dave took Kevin the flune here are a few pictures of what the flune is.

We also went to Riverdell to go swimming. It was a lot of fun because since I was pregnant I could sit with my legs crossed in the water and float! 

We later went to 

You know that you are from Arizona if there is a huge park and all you want to do is play on the rocks!

We ate pizza at the Wellness Center and it was hilarious because they gave us tomatoes on the side instead of on the pizza!

I didn't take any pictures so these are from Dave's phone. They were pretty awesome.

The awesome group picture.

These girls played super hard.

They love cousins!

This has to be the cuties little girl ever!

I would give her a powdered doughnut any day!

David went on a Day Explorer trip. 

He found this random little lake.

Dave loves bridges!

Minidoka

I have always wanted to go to the Minidoka Internment Camps that was right outside of  Twin. It is so super amazing to see a part of history that happened so close to home.

This is the Honor Roll of all of the Camp Members that fought in the war. I was crazy sad to think of what happened to these Americans that didn't do anything. There is a lot of stuff to see and read.

This is the baseball diamond that they played on. Thye loved baseball there. 

Minidoka was self-sustainable. The Japanese Americans there cleared land and built farms. They made the rough desert into living farms. And then when the war was over what happened to the land and people, they were given $25 and a ticket home. They weren't allowed to stay. The land they cleared when into a lottery that gave precedence to veterans where they got 40 acres and two buildings. 

I like this picture because it shows that it is in the middle of the night.

This is a reconstruction of the guard tower.

This is part of the baseball field that the prisoners would behind.

Here are some of the buildings.

This one is about how they cleared the desert to make farmland.
