2009 Family Reunion at Serenity Place

Patti and Rosemarie once again invited the whole clan down to the cabin for a weekend of good food, fun and companionship.

Grandpa sitting on a 4-wheeler waiting for Ken and Cyd and Nora to arrive.

Couldn't wait to get to the cabin to get Nora out of the car seat and see her.

Spencer rode from the gate to the cabin with grandpa,

and Caleb went with Rebecca.

Of course I had to try to catch a fish for the kids.

Spencer riding his horse.

Nora wanted to be up and in the middle of all the action.

Spencer with his "ear caps" from the little cheese wheels.

Caleb got a pair as well.

Spencer back aboard his trusty steed.

What a cutie!!

Dave was a quick learner at cribbage.

Natalie was a good sport and played the boys in their version of Ticket to Ride.

The first colorful leaves of Fall!

Rebecca and Cydney at the bridge

with Ken, having a good time on the 4-wheelers.

Spencer just wanted to ride, even though he fell fast asleep while doing it!

Dave, Jes and Caleb in the "Mule."

We had to keep the tradition alive by doing a jigsaw puzzle.

Cydney and Rebecca's turn in the "Mule."

Jessica and Spencer admiring a little cutthroat.

Natalie just chillin' on the deck.

We all had fun one night with the "candy-bar game."

Grandma playing the "oven-mitt game."

Spencer wanted to "see" the fish.

Reb and the "old folks."

Spencer was all ready to get back to the riding.


Caleb is ready to ride some more too.


Just had to do a couple of "lost in the corndog" photos!



Mom decided she wanting in on the "lost" photo.

And so did Rosemarie.

Four generations on the deck - several variations.





Great grandma with the kids.

Cameron's Birthday

We all met out at Dave and Jes' house on Cameron's birthday for a little party. At least, everyone except for the Jensens.


As always, the boys were hamming it up - always the center of attention! Although they are starting to get some competition - they just don't know it yet.


Th birthday boy!

Not at all sure what Caleb was up to here, but it is a cute photo!

Natalie is sure glowing these days - nice to see!

Opening gifts. . .

. . . and blowing out candles.
