There are LOTS of pictures so I'll try to tackle it one day at a time. :)
DAY ONE: Sunday, July 3rd : Church, cars, Huck Camp kick-off - "Forever Strong"
-Church was great. Grandma bore her testimony for both her and Grandpa. The meeting was nearly over and Grandpa starting pointing at the stand and looking at her until she went up. Haha- He's a man who gets what he wants! They have the most sincere testimonies and love seeing their family live the Gospel and be happy.
-Afterward, there were some people coming to look at their house that is up for sale ( :( so sad to see them leave that house!) so we went over to the ware house and looked at all of Grandpa's cars.
This is Nancy's Favorite
(and it is actually GRANDma's car since it is the only one with HER initials written on the driver's side)

I love their 4th of July outfits of choice!
-After we left the warehouse, we went home and ate some delicious dinner. We had fun catching up and then had the Huck Camp kickoff to introduce the theme: Forever Strong.
Grandpa and Grandma had seen the movie before and loved the message and decided to make it our theme. Grandma shared that Jonathon and her had talked in the past about the importance of remembering our ancestors and protecting what the Huckvale name stands for.
Donny announced that Grandpa and Grandma would be moving soon up to Boise, ID to be closer to family and hopefully that can allow Grandpa to heal better. We'll be sad to not be able to come visit down in CA where there are so many great memories but happy they'll be nearby!
Bob invited everyone to talk about their goals they'd made (this was the reason I ran my marathon-- see my other blog happyrunningduck.blogspot.com for more info). It was nice sharing that with Grandpa.
Then we watched the movie Forever Strong up on the Sport Court. It was really good!
This is a picture of the cute Langfords who were laying down in front of me-- they all fell fast asleep!
Everyone was exhausted after the movie since we were all still catching up on traveling so far the day before to get here. Trying to fit 53 people in a house is quite an accomplishment! Bob's family got to stay in the master room and we found we could even fit all four of us in the king bed! There were air mattresses all over the house on the ground and even out on the deck.
