First - our cute little girls, Lauren, Jessica, and Paige. I love to see how they've changed each year.

| Cody came too - he REALLY enjoyed the water this year! |
| Cody and Paige enjoyed the hot tub together - or are they staring each other down? |
| The Reigning Bell Sisters - smilin' wide and happy to see us all, as usual! |
| Of course, they were in charge of the kitchen - and all that FOOD! |
| The deck really looked inviting - even before we showed up. |
| Wondering what the scene looked like from here? They have some of the best plants and flowers around. |
| How wonderful that Ginger's childhood friend, Donna was able to come, along with her hubby, Bill. Ginger really enjoyed their visit! Oh, Ginger showed pictures of her new grandson, and she promised to send photos of son Patrick and his family, and Tina and her boys REAL soon. (So here's that reminder, Aunt Ginger!) |
| Another old friend Pat from Maywood showed up and shared memories of the old days with Bob, and Ruth and Betty. |
| Bob also talked with Jim awhile. It was nice to see Jim and his grandsons and Michele there - thanks to Michele for doing all that driving. |
| Jim posed for this one. But, see Wendy walking by. I didn't get a good photo of her and Rik, but they had some wonderful news - they just found out they are expecting another baby! Congratulations to them (and Grandma and Grandpa)! |
| As usual, the volleyball games drew the "children" of all ages. |
| Sometimes they get fiercely competitive, as Ken gets a good backup from Julie D. |
| Julie brought Ryan this year. He enjoyed the volleyball. Their pool has a deep end and is better for basketball. |
| Some of the girls from the Danielson gang - in the hot tub all at once. Posing is Julie, Jane, Nell, and Chrissy. Little Jessica doesn't like to look at the camera. |
| It's always good seeing Linda and John there. Seems they spend a good amount of time in that hot tub each year too. |
| Lauren brought her mommy and daddy - Diana and Jamie too. I've learned James is quite the gardener/farmer - way surpassing my mini-veggie garden efforts. Bet he's REALLY busy picking produce about now. Jamie is still handsome, even tho I didn't get him in a photo this year. |
| Geri and Ann always show up with great food. This year Geri made the MOST delicious chocolate caramel cookies - YUMMY! |
| Cousin Paul and wife, Sue, live close by and come every year. Thanks, Cousin Paul, for helping Betty and Eric with the yard and setup chores again! |
| Sue and Linda took such good pictures, I had to include another one of them. Brother John is moving thru the crowd. I didn't get any good ones of him this time, but he does look good this year. Trim (almost), exercised, and has the scars showing the cardio work. |
| Eric is finally relaxing. Thanks for being a wonderful host all these years, Eric! |
| Ok, one more: We always enjoy John's family visit during the Reunion, and noticed the tie purses and belts they were sporting. It seems this is a new Canadian hobby (or just theirs) so Ken gave them all his old ties. For 3 days they and the cats enjoyed sorting and playing with all the ties on the floor. Julie says she'll make a "tie" coat or vest next. |
