Fam Reunion

Kent's grandma wanted to have a get together with her kids, grandkids and great grandkids.  That was actually the main purpose for the ill-fated trip to Yellowstone from which we just returned.  As you have seen, we still had fun despite the fact that there was 12-16 feet of snow at the park and we had to cancel that part of our trip.  Kent's grandma has lived in Preston Idaho pretty much forever (as far as I know) and lives there still.  It's pretty much in the "middle of nowhere" especially where she lives, but it is so quiet and beautiful there. It has always held a special place in the hearts of all Grandma Jepsen's kids and grandkids (and why there it is a bit of a dispute about what to do with the mountain she owns after she passes on).
 It was a serious effort to get group pictures.  I tried to get a pic with the whole group. That didn't happen but they were willing and happy to round up all the kids for a "2nd cousin" picture.
 We played kickball, the kids swung, the boys played football, and Elise and a few of the other kids were in puppy heaven with the 2 puppies that were there.
 The kids were finally willing to participate in a family photo!

Here's the beautiful view from the park where we had our party.  So green!
