This year's reunion was held from Friday, June 30th, through Sunday,
July 2nd. However, some arrived a day early, and some also stayed
a day later.
It was a lot of fun, and it was nice to see everyone
again. Too bad there were so many unable to attend, but that's
just the way it is sometimes. Hopefully, you folks that couldn't
make it this year will be able to next year.
But just so you know, UNCLE DAVE WON THE QUILT THIS YEAR!!! WOOHOO!!!
Finally, after all these (how many, 15 or so?) years, I finally won
the quilt. Many thanks to Luella and everyone who helped her make it. It is a beautiful project.
So, on with pictures!

The hula hoop games:



Lisa demonstrating the hula dance:




Watch
the movies of the hula dance training session! (They are rather
large though, so if you have dial-up, you should start it before
you go to work and watch it when you come home.)
If you have Macromedia Flash 8.0 or higher, you can use these links to see the movies:
First clip (~10.1 megabytes)
Second clip (~11.3 megabytes)
If not, you can either update Flash
by going here, or just use these links:

Sunday, July 2nd.
Sunday
we went exploring out on the desert. To the pictograph panel (see
the pictures on the Reunion 2005 page), the dinosaur footprint, and The
Wedge.
Here is a sandstone formation in the middle of nowhere with a storm kicking up in the distance:

Here is a storm a' brewin' in the direction we're headed. But it did make the desert cooler.


The view from the rim of The Wedge Overlook:

Zoomed in to the bottom:





Zebras? In Castledale?
