Milo Andrus Family Reunion

 My parents came to town this weekend to attend the Milo Andrus Family Reunion in Pioneer Park in SLC. .  Milo Andrus had 11 wives, 57 children and now has over 30,000 descendants. Our family descents from his first wife Abigail Jan Daley who is my Great, Great, Great Grandmother
Milo was my Great, Great, Great Grandfather.

The first event we attended was a lunch with our wive line cousins.

With over 30,000 descendants it no wonder we knew a few...  Eric's dad's best friend Dean Merrill also is from the same wife line. And  my mission companion, Angela Cromar who's parents showed up at the reunion come from the 10th wife.  

Then we enjoyed Pioneer Park.







 Later in the day the girls enjoyed pioneer games.





 After dinner there was a program about Milo's 11 wives. 

 Eric won a prize for guessing how many marbles were in the jar.

It was a wonderful day and so much fun to meet our "Cousins". I am just sure glad we don't practice polygamy any more, but you can sure see how it increased our posterity.
