Grandma's birthday wish

This is the whole gang that was in attendance except Ethan Powell.  He got cut off.  Lerlyn disappeared behind Kirt in every picture unfortunately.  The next picture up has Ethan - he was where he could be seen, but several  other people disappeared behind  other heads then.  I think we did pretty good for such a big group! (Double click pictures to see them bigger.)

Saturday, August 13th, Grandma (Lillywhite) Kurtz got her birthday wish - minus just a few people.  Her 80th birthday was earlier this year in February.  She told us all that she her birthday wish was to have a whole family get together sometime during the year.  With lots of people's cooperation, we were able to make her wish come true all but for a few people.  It took quite a bit of effort for some people.  I think the Wardell's win for the longest trip.  Thanks to everyone for taking the time and spending the money to make it happen.  She was so pleased...and it was lots of fun for all of us in the process.  What a great group of people to have a chance to reconnect with.  Happy 80th Grandma!

Here are the family with Grandma shots that we took.
