Family, family and more family

This has been a great couple of months! We have had so much fun seeing our brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews. My brother, Dan and his family came from Eugene, OR to visit over the 4th of July. The morning of the 4th we made our annual trip up to Brighton Ski Resort where my other brother, Dave's singles ward puts on a delicious 4th of July breakfast.
Bill and I flew up to Boise, ID for the weekend to visit my two sisters. Our first day there we floated down the Boise River with Becky's family. Then on Sunday we had dinner at Ann's house. Bill flew home Monday morning, but I stayed one more day and went to my niece and nephews' swim meet. They are great little swimmers!

Reunited

In June we had a wonderful Whitaker Family Reunion. This is the first time that all of Bill's sisters, brother and their spouses have been together in many years. We even had 16 of the 19 grandchildren there too! It was so much fun!
We spent the first couple of days playing, swimming, golfing, eating, etc. Then we had even more aunts, uncles and cousins come for a fun picnic and talent show. Everyone had such a good time and I loved meeting more of Bill's family. I'm so glad we were all able to get together before we move. Fortunately, Bill's brother, James and his family live in D.C. and Bill's sister, Tina and her husband live in Albany. We hope to get to see them often!!
