Once upon a time, Jean and DeeAnne had 10 children.
On day in July, they were all together in the foothills around Bear Lake, Idaho. Why Bear Lake? Because the mother's father was raised in George Town, which is near the north end of Bear Lake.
Over time, (a long time) the whole family grew to look like this.
The newest addition to the family, Whitney, is sitting next to the patriarch. The Bruces are missing (Julies' husband and Lorenas'). Also missing are Lorena's Joseph, her oldest two girls, Jesse and Mary; and Darcy is in S. Korea.
One day the Georgians went for a drive under the paradigm of "I wonder where this road goes." It turned out perfect. We saw a golden eagle. I took lots of flower pictures and we eventually found a beautiful view from the mountain behind the hill that served as a back drop to the first picture on this blog.
This picture shows what I miss while living in Georgia. While our trees are beautiful in Georgia, they cover everything and we never get vistas like this one! Matt is missing from this picture because he was on the lake.
Peter and Joseph are facing backwards, Matt is driving. Thanks to Clark for providing the teenagers' toys.
The picture below shows Lorena's youngest daughter on the far left, Conals oldest daughter in the middle and Angies oldest daughter on the right.
Outdoors above, Indoors below.
I don't know what Matt and the St. Georgians are playing, but at the big table they were playing Pitt, and yes, it got very exciting. At the far table, a game of Dominion is being set up. Dominion - in my opinion - was the most fun new game at the reunion.
Clarissa and her Dad getting ready for the frisbee throw from Ced.
The volleyball game between the Whettens and the Jordans. Jordans won :(
Volleyball was officiated by Ced. I liked the way he laid down the rules and there were no exceptions. Not even Grandpa got a second chance to serve. And don't mess with the net!
Not shown in these images are the table tennis game put together by Joshua, or the Risk Games. I don't have any pictures of those. It's late. I have to wrap this up.

What a total blast. What cabin were you at? That looks deluxe!
The turn to the lodge was at mile marker 5 between Fish Lake and St. Charles. Mom reserved it; she'll have the contact info. It worked great for us.
