The Reunion

We rounded out our vacation with a trip out to Central Montana for a family reunion.  Ryan's mom was one of nine children and with family spread all over the western states, trying to get everyone together only happens every few years.  But it is so enjoyable when it happens!  We sure enjoyed seeing Grandpa Clarence, catching up with siblings/cousins, watching the next generation play together, listening to the memories of days gone by and receiving encouragement from Uncle Dale to keep true. 

Grandpa Clarence surrounded by most of his family. 

Our immediate family.

Grandpa Larry with his grand kids.

Morgan wasn't sure about meeting all these new faces, especially when they were trying to convince her to come play.  Her second cousin Kylie mentioned the word 'toys', then produced stickers and all of a sudden new faces were just fine.

 These two cousins became fast friends and Lane was sad when Benjamin left a day before us.

 Melita and Logan giving new meaning to the term 'tailgating.'

As long as someone was willing to drive the lawn tractor, these cars were generally full and Morgan and Lane were usually the last ones out.

Benjamin, Colter and Lane kept us entertained with their various stories.

Thank you Don and Joanne, and Lloyd and Debbie for opening your homes and letting us all invade!
