We had our family reunion in the Black Hills to celebrate my Grandma's 85th birthday. All of my aunts, uncles, cousins, and their kids showed up for a weekend of camping fun. My cousin Lori did a great job of planning everything and when she goes into the "Reunion Planning" business, I will let you know.There was a bounce pillow..........

Best Dressed Award









I took about 300 pictures during our vacation, so I will be adding posts in snipets. (Don't fret, I am not adding all 300 pictures) This picture is my absolute favorite. This is my Grandma, Verna Mae on her 85th Luau Birthday Party. She was definately the best dressed lady at the party!

Vacation

We are still on vacation, but I did get access to a computer today for the first time in 2 weeks, so I had to post. No pictures for this one though, I have computer access, but it is slooooooooooooow. Pictures you can look forward to in the coming week: my grandma in a hula skirt, Mt. Rushmore (or as Courtney says, Mountain Rushamore), city folks fishing, Story Book Island, Old McDonald's Farm, the Denver Aquarium, the Denver Children's Museum, and us taking a 3 day nap when we get home!
