McCall Idaho with Karina and Dan and family

Karina and Dan have been going to McCall since their honeymoon there many many years ago and They have almost made it every year since. One of the traditions is Ice Cream alley. Here we all are enjoying high amounts refreshing treats.

We celebrated Jim's 75 birthday and Karina and Dans anniversary. Nattie provided the creative candles 

Kayaking is one of my favorite activity

We also love playing games

Almost everyone tried water sking

Many of us did the swim to the Island, which is about 1 1/2 miles, depending on how straight one swims

Jim gave it the good old college try

Food always brings us together

On the drive back we enjoyed extra time and visiting with Andrew

We are so glad that we were included in this great family retreat. Thanks for sharing McDonalds. We love our time together.

Yosemite Chatterley Reunion 2019

Many of us hiked Saturday morning, even though trying to leave by 7am  was not what the youth wanted to do. But, when we left the park mid day, we counted over 200 cars lined up, trying to enter the gates. We enjoyed hiking, swimming and even a stage coach ride

we learned that Joseph Chatterley was a wheel rite who immigrated about 1853 from Manchester England

Sunday we attended

church at the Oakhurst building in Yosemite area and then we had a Come Follow me lesson. We are so glad we could share a few days with the children and grandchildren. Yosemite park is a must visit for those who love nature and adventure

Cruising with the family 2019

Our family reunion began in Orlando to prepare to board the Carnival Breeze on Saturday.

Of course, our trip couldn't begin with out our family workout session

and a big breakfast feast

and lots of stuff

It was fun seeing all the twins

lots of great food every day

more hugs

more strips 

preparing for more sun

even more cute cousins

many games

inside the library we could escape the sun and still visit and play

we girls got a makeover

while the young boys favorite activity was the elevator 

and my kids and I worked out  everyday

so many more photos and memories that it is difficult to pick which ones. I may have to do another  blog. We celebrated the 4th and I always remember mothers loved of America and the red white and blue/ We honor her and my father as this trip could not have happened without the inheritance. Celebrating the way my parents loved to celebrate,,,cruising, food, fun sun, music and dance, and lots of laughter. I love my family and I loved sharing this memory with all of them.
