Murray Family Reunion 2009

Ahhhh.....summertime is in its finest hour around here. We recently returned home from the Murray Family Reunion held at Lake Kachess, WA. The weather was fantastic, and the accommodations were spectacular. Nearly every family member was present at some point during the 4 days of festivities. It was so great to see how much our extended family has changed over the past years. Most of my cousins have families of their own, and I loved watching all the kids interact with each other. We celebrated Grandma Murray's 85th Birthday, and we took time to visit the grave of our beloved Uncle Bill. It was great to share memories of him and see his family. Lots of memories were created. Here is a collection of pictures from our trip. The local geese out for a stroll.Dave having fun at the lake with Nate, Ashley and Kristi.
