Family Reunion

Family Reunion in McCall was AWESOME!!! We had such a great time. Nothing beats tradition! Watching the cousins play, walking downtown to Ice Cream Alley, Playing cards until all hours of the night and eating until we were sick!!! Priceless memories! :)

Spencer spent an hour throwing cousins up in the air at the pool. They loved it and he got in a pretty good work out!

Grant entertaining us around the campfire with harmonica!!! Fire, S'mores and good music made for a great evening!

We hiked into Goose Creek Falls. SO BEAUTIFUL! Hadn't planned on getting in the ice cold water, but just couldn't help it! Off came the shoes and socks (even the shorts for M'Kay) and in the water we went. After the numbness wore off, it was great!

All of the kids were scared to get inside this old tree - - had to show them up!

This was one of our many nights out for an evening drive. We saw so many deer, elk, foxes, etc. Such a beautiful place!

This little guy was right outside our balcony while we ate breakfast one morning!

View from our condo balcony - - while sitting in the hot tub!

We celebrated Marc's birthday in style!

Pizza with M'Kay & McCall the first night we got there!


The week ended with Kennedy's Baptism! We left McCall Saturday morning, got home, showered, started laundry and then headed over to Nyssa to be part of her special day. Home again that night and back to Parma first thing Sunday Morning for her confirmation. It was a great time!
