Family Reunion Picnic

Our summer started off with a Memorial Family Reunion Picnic. I got to see a lot of my cousins I hadn't seen in a while and meet family on my moms side I haven't met before. It was great to see everyone. We also celebrated my grandpa's 85th birthday while we were all together.

Having fun at the park.

Gratton was growling. It was pretty cute.

Aunt Kirstie and Gratton having fun on the swings!

David took these pics of Jared on the swing, I thought they were pretty cool.



Family swing time!

My Grandpa Crook, his sister and ...???

Grub time!

Great Grandpa Crook and Jared. I love this picture. I hope Jared will appreciate this picture later in life.

Surprising my grandpa by celebrating his birthday early

My Aunt Sandy put together a book of all his posterity. Each family has a page with pictures and memories with him.




This a picture of the cake. It was taken from a plaque that hangs on the wall in his house of his service in WWII.



Playing ancestor Bingo...Good Times!!

I don't know why this picture wouldn't flip. But I thought it was a cute picture.

My mom and her sisters.
At the end of the day. I had to say goodbye to both my brothers, Alysa, Sonja, and Gratton. We had already packed everything up in Rexburg. The kids and I headed to California to extend our vacation and Bill headed to Washington to get things going with finding a job. It's still hard being away from them.
