I thought it would be a good idea for all of us to be administrators on this site. That requires your email so if you want to add pictures (which I hope you will) then either send them to me and I'll put them up for you, or it's much easier (especially when you have a lot of photos) to just do it yourself.
I have some people's email addresses, but some I still need. So please email me and I'll put you on as an administrator to this blog and you can add your own photos and posts anytime you want.
While I'm here, I just want to say thank you to all of you who made the effort, spent the huge amounts of money, and took all the time necessary away from home and work, to make this great reunion be what it was.
Cheri and Melissa put so much effort, planning, money, and not to mention the physical labor (cleaning...a lot, a lot of cleaning) into making that week possible. Thank you, thank you!
The food was great, the ranch was peaceful and gorgeous! I think for me, the favorite moments were shooting with Ben (thank you for being so considerate and patient, Ben! and for the kindness in sharing all the ammunition, guns and skeets.) And having that drizzly, but ever so wonderful lunch out behind the ranch. Jeremy and Andy helping everyone over the log to the other side. I believe Ben helped, too. I have fond memories of the girls doing everyone's nails, and the wonderful, creative treasure hunt that Emily put together for all the kids. What fun!
I also loved the kids just playing for hours at a time in the backyard on the trampoline! There are so many thoughts and feelings I had while I spent that time with all of you! I just love you, all of you. I am so thankful that everything fell into place to make that week possible for all of us!
So I'll post the pictures I have in hopes that all of you will do the same. Let me know if you have better ideas for this site. I wanted to get it done so we don't end up looking back in a year or more wondering what ever happened to that blog we were going to put together? I didn't want to procrastinate it any longer. It's July, and already it feels like the reunion was too long ago.
Thank you, wonderful family! I am so blessed to be a part of you guys! I loved getting to know Ang, Pat and Ashley, Taylor, Emily, Brooke and well, all the Adams, better. I loved seeing Tom, though it was a short visit, and missed Amanda. Hopefully she can make it next time. I could just squeeze Roni and Dick til their stuffin's come out and all the kids...man, I just love them! I love all you kids!!!!! I love this whole family! And I very much enjoyed getting to mingle and chat with Melissa and the bit of time spent with Jeremy and the Flint family.
Here are some of our pictures. Andy has more, but these are what I have for now.
