Family Photo

visit from kids and grandkids- Part 1

All of the daughters and their children (& most of the husbands) were with us for a visit this past week. Shena, Shawn and Reina arrived from Costa Rica last week. Becky and her kids flew into Seattle and drove down with Trisha and kids as a surprise. We did not know they were coming from Georgia!! Here are some photos taken during the week, with more in the posting below.

A family photo will be posted once it's available.
