Cousin Memories - Steve Ord
Olson Reunion Memories-
I loved the Olson Reunions. It was the best time of the year. It took me a long time when I was young to decide what to wear. My cousins my age; Chad, Linsey, Mindy, and Brandon were my best friends growing up. Teressa’s girls were like sisters to me. It was fun to see everyone. I remember them being at Mel’s church a lot with that delicious ham. Mel was good about always having a basketball or volleyball game going. All the Aunts and Uncles would take their turns talking to me individually which was hard for me to sit still and talk to them and I acted shy but I really liked it when they did that.
The Reunions in Star Valley were always fun for me. It became too far for our family to go a lot but I loved it up there. Staying at the hotel, hitting golf balls, hiking to Geyser Springs, seeing millions of grasshoppers jumping on Grandpas front lawn, and the smell of the old house was fantastic. I remember the Johns reunion was the first reunion I juggled at. I juggled dinner rolls for a silver dollar. It was great. Who knew that would turn into a tradition. I loved juggling at the reunions. In January I would already be thinking of what to do for my juggling act the next year. It was great to include Cameron and others. I loved the kids there. Football games and Mel’s trampoline were always fun too.
The best memories were always found in the yearly update by the Aunts and Uncles and then Grandpas poems. I have an arsenal of poems thanks to Grandpa that I use every talk. He was a great man. My hero. I want to be just like him. I’m so grateful for the Olson side of my family. They helped me see what an eternal family can be like. Thanks for the memories.
