Family Gathering 2006

I think this little guy (Truman Wells) expresses the fun we all had at the Family Picnic. We had a nice "beesy" gathering at Ryan Dam, hosted by Connie and Bill. Good food, fun visits, and (of course) the Washers game. After a bit of rest-up, folks gathered at Bert & Ernie's for some music by Mi Dva, an internationally acclaimed folk duo. Then Mary and Jim hosted the after-concert sing-along around the patio fireplace. A bit of rain sent the revelers inside, but didn't dampen the party. Mary and Jim were also hosts for the Sunday brunch, and I want to express our appreciation for their hospitality. Mary will soon be posting the results of the Christmas name-drawing. And I want to extend a fond "we-missed-ya" to the MIA crew: Mike; Matt, Kelly & Will; Joey (came lately); Molly; Karla; Jerry, Mikayla, Carter & Kesiah; Miranda & Nate; Ben, Jake & Nick (softballing).

Hey! I know he's a Bobcat, but we can't exclude Ryan entirely (after all, he does have a brother playing for the Griz!! He PROMISES to be at next year's family picnic (and if it's at the wedding, he better damn well be!). Anyway, just wanted to ditto what John said about the good times and thank everyone for doing what they do best - holding great family get togethers. I'm looking forward to Christmas and especially next summer!
