The Egan family reunion was July 10-12. The Vancouver Egans are very diligent in attending. Over 100 in all attended this year.
Christopher, Katherine and the kids arrived Friday night. Here Katherine and Kadelyn are sitting outside our hotel while we all visit and the kids play in the sand.
Uncle Josh had a fun time with his neices and nephew.
Melanie and Tom and Kelly as we ate lunch on the drive to Burley. I think I drove Tom crazy with my picture taking....but this is a wonderful picture of them!!
Chris showed Josh just who the stronger brother is....
and Maralee and Terran got in on the fun too!!
The sun was in Erma's face as she took this so it's a little lopsided, but here we are with our sweet family that was there. Serenity Lynn and Terran really don't look this way normally....they were being silly.
Not sure I can say that about Maralee. Isn't she cute this way???
We went to Wendy's before the kids headed back to Utah, and Serenity got a little sad and didn't want us to leave. Here we are snuggling...I told her we needed to be brave and we hid our tears well.
In the usual tradition on our last night, the Egan's played games until we couldn't keep our eyes open anymore. We had a wonderful weekend. Next year the reunion will be in Salt Lake, as it's the 150th anniversary of the Pony Express....and of course Howard Egan, the one who's name we all celebrate was not only a Pony Express rider, but a bodyguard to Joseph Smith and Brigham Young and one of the original 144 pioneers to enter the Salt Lake Valley. See You there!!!
In fact she got fabric from several family members so we would all be represented and showing our love to Dad, though her own fabric collection rivals even the best of fabric stores. She has ALOT of beautiful fabrics.....and she is always making something. She has a wonderful way with fabric....wall hangings, quilts, pillows (in fact I shared a pillow she made when Jon graduated on this very blog.) She worked tirelessly on this quilt and it was finished in amazing time!! 
Here are some of the squares....some of the fabrics are of state flowers and birds from around the country. In this close up, the Washington State bird...the goldfinch and Washington apples are represented. It was so much fun looking at all the squares she made and remembering the things she made with them. Aunt Adele is known to frequent as many quilt shows as she can around the Northwest....and my cousin Jane goes with her. Like mother, like daughter:)
Anyway, here she is holding it up to show the back...she had the quilt machine quilted and presented it to Dad last week. I got a picture of Dad with his quilt, but am waiting for my brother David to email it to me (it was their camera). I'll post it when I can.
