bear lake Part I

our annual family reunion 

was held at Bear Lake this year.

9 kids

7 spouses

17 grandkids

and one "papa"

made for a full cabin

but we wouldn't have it any other way.

It was definitely a time of healing.

We did a lot of laughing and crying.

Stories were told and Joe's mom was remembered

It was a really really good weekend.
