Island Park - 2023 Family Reunion, July 4 - 10, 2023

 The family decided to go back to Island Park for our reunion.  Rich gave us the cabins and provided several OHVs for us.  Rich's only project was putting in some fence posts and fencing around the fish pond.  It was a little hard to plan things because everyone was coming up at different times and going home at different times.

Theron and I stayed with Brett and Lori Simonsen about 5 days longer because Ali was in Little Mermaid and this way we could drive down for that and then drive home.  It was longer than we wanted to stay but they got me out on the Russian River kayak ride.  After the first two or three rapids it was easy sailing and lots of fun.

Probably the most memorable part of the trip was our kayak trip.  When we started it was bright and sunny.  We slowly meandered down the river and watched as dark clouds moved in, the rain began, the rain continued, the rain became more powerful and by the time we pulled out we were cold and soaked.  We only saw two moose.

The best part of the trip was the family shirt - "This is my dysFUNctional  family shirt."  Marc had fun printing this.  We all wondered if the shirt was dysfunctional or the family was dysfunctional??  We still have questions.

Everyone except Cameron.  Cameron is still serving the Lord in Georgia.
