I never thought I'd see the day when we would all get together for a family photo. It's just really too bad it was under such horrible circumstances as our sister's funeral. We will miss her dearly. I just pray that our next family photo will be a happier time. So let's get together more often and find something to celebrate! (posted by Myrinda Barnes)

Family Reunion 2008

We had our annual Elmer Family Reunion this year at Les and Gai Elmer's home in Alpine, Utah. It was a big success. This year wasn't as big of a turn out as past years, but it was still wonderful to be able to see family that we don't often get to see!
There was the traditional Saturday morning breakfast, bazaar and raffle, coin hunt for the kids and the dutch oven cook-off. This year we also had a pinata for the children!

These are some of the pictures from the reunion. If you have some pictures or videos that you'd like to share please post them under "New Post."Unfortunately, I don't know every one's names, so if you know who they are, please leave a message in the comment section and I'll update it!
