Bird Family Reunion


Now that we are living near Steve's parents AND his sister (Rexburg), we only needed one more piece to complete our puzzle. :)  Julene and her kids decided to come down when the weather was nice in the fall and not brave our winters.  Ryan could only make it for 2 days, but we were thrilled to have him as long as we did.  We ate some good food, talked, laughed, cried, and had a little fun.

At the park, I started taking pictures of the kids and a sweet lady offered to allow me to jump in.  Notice our surprise when Lynette handed out t-shirts for each and every one of us!  They all say "Birds of a feather, flock together" on the back.  This was a pretty momentous occasion as we had not been together for a few years.

 Check out this line of posterity!

 Grandpa always gives the funniest reactions!


After the zoo, we all got dressed up and coordinated and headed out to this awesome barn for some photo opportunities.

I love these girls!

We really had a good time and are looking forward to doing it again.  I am a lucky lady to have married into this good family.  Let's hope it won't take years before the next time we do it again.
We miss you, Julene!
