Chris's family reunion

At the end of July we went to spend some time with Chris's side of the family.  It has been several years that we have all been together.  We had a great time hiking, cliff jumping, slip and slid, and playing games with one another. 

One of the days, we went fishing with Chris's dad.  Here is a picture of Christian catching his first fish.

We went on a short hike to Cascade Falls

Kanarraville Falls

Gene was a great sport and came on a hike with us.  

 Christian really enjoyed hiking with Ruben. 


 This is my favorite picture of them.


 I decided that this my favorite hike of all times!

The few...The brave...The cliff jumpers...





Reunion Time

At the end of June, we went on our annual Reunion with my family.  This year we went to good old Star Valley, Wyoming.  We stayed in some nice cabins.  My parents met some people on the plane to Jerusalem who offered to let us stay there. We had a great time and are thankful for the generosity of the owners of the cabins.

 My nieces and nephews had a great old time paddling canoes.
 The men went fishing at this beautiful lake but the fishes were not hungry.

 The best part of having the reunion was being able to be with my Grandma.  Even though I didn't get to talk to her much because she was either sleeping or reading, it was just great to have her there.  This was the last trip I got to spend my Grandma a live.   I love her and miss her.
