Elsberry Reunion 2014

The Elsberry Family Reunion(my mom's side of the family)finally happened! My Uncle Ric had been planning this event for about a year to make sure that people could plan for it since most of us live out side of Idaho now. It was a two day event with a welcome BBQ at my Uncle Tim's in his fun BBQ area in his backyard in Caldwell, ID.  Then, we had a farewell Brunch at my Mom's in Middleton, ID. I was in charge of the games and Matt took family photos and some fun candid shots too.  It has been long time since all of us had seen each other, so it was fun to visit and see all the new additions to the family.

My Mom and Fred cooked up a yummy brunch with all the fixings and Matt cooked his famous dutch oven french toast. SO YUMMY!! Grandma Elsberry thought it was so yummy too, she wanted seconds.

The cousins reunite again.

 There a few missing that couldn't make it.

The cousin's kids..aka..Great Grand-kids for Grandma Elsberry with a few missing as well. It was hard to believe that Carter is the oldest out of the group of the great grand kids.

Here is most of the group with Matt missing because he took the picture.

A few slipped away before the picture and only 5 of 7 Grandma Elsberry's children could make it.

We still had a good sized group! 

Our family picture with Grandma Elsberry and the kids Great Grandma. We always love to visit her and see her smile. I am a grateful for her great example of perseverance and knowledge.

Then, lastly I couldn't end the post of the reunion with out mentioning that Matt's Parents were so kind to let us crash at their place while we attended the reunion. It was a quick and fun time catching up with both sides of the family.  We especially enjoyed staying up until 12:30 in the morning reminiscing about all the crazy things Matt did as a kid.  Carter and Ashlynn wanted to hear more funny stories and the morning pancakes cooked by Tom are always a added bonus.  It was a fun and exciting weekend!  

And once again Carter has his cup stacking gear close by. The kid is dedicated and always practicing for his big Junior Olympics tournament in August. If he can find a table then he is using any spare time of his stacking those cups.  More to come later...
