JONES FAMILY REUION

JONES FAMILY REUNION
BRYCE CANYON
June 26, 2009

My dad's family reunion, VERNON ARMSTRONG JONES,
was held in beautiful Bryce Canyon this year.
Aunt Lavenda and Uncle Leon were in charge and
they did a great job with keeping the activities and all the FUN going!



Stacy and I couldn't get any of our children to go with us so
we grabbed Liam and Jackson and headed off.
We were going to stay at our Brian Head Condo,
thinking that Bryce Canyon was up Cedar Mountain.
When we were just outside of Cedar City,
Lisa called and wondered where we were.
She then informed us that Brian Head was 1 1/2 hours away from Bryce.
We immediately called Rubies Inn to see if there was any rooms left.
We lucked out with the last room available.
Leon had the large campground on the lake reserved and
we had all the reunion activities there.
The campground was in walking distance of Rubies Inn.

LOVE YA ALL!
