These photos contain me, my siblings, and my cousins, along with our families. We met in a beautiful lodge by Lake Wenatchee from August 9th thru the 11th for the purpose of spreading our Grandparent's ashes, according to their wishes.
My brother, Shane, went a day ahead and hiked up & scoped out a beautiful and perfect spot for the "ceremony". We spent the first evening, as depicted in these here photos, going over some old photographs and memorabilia that my sister, DeAnn had brought and organized. We were able to take home some of the photos and items that held a special place for each of us.
Also we were given discs with everything scanned so that we'd all have a digital copy of the photos and documents (thanks to my Dad, Ron, for scanning everything!). It was a really wonderful reunion and memorial. I think Gran and Pa would have been very pleased. This was the first time us cousins had been all together in one place since we were in our youth.
Esther (my youngest), me, Dee, & Teri.
