Burley Idaho

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!!!

It's a group decision.....yes we do have them in Vancouver sometimes. You can start your own family reunions Diana.....even if they're just with your own family:)
