Post reunion update.
Thanks to Doug, Vicki (our bonus mileage travelers), Dave, Pat, Ralph 3, Carol, Ralph 4, Meagan, Gina, Tom, Denise, Mat, Adam, Leah, Heather, James, Emily, Katie, John, Mary Beth, Amy, her best bud, James, Anthony, Carter, Warren, Abbey, Wyatt, and Clark for making the 4th of July/Jim's 60th a blazing success.
It was Uncle Jim's wish for his 60th to have as many of you as possible, attend the reunion. I think we did pretty darn well on that score. He was touched!
For those of you who were unable to attend - you missed a trip to Tahoe Lakeshore, two Lake Valley kayak, paddle boat and swimming trips, rides on the ATV, the best 4th of July parade/water balloon fight ever in Dutch Flat (thanks to Amy, her buddy and dad we had over 200 balloons to throw - even then we ran out quickly), fireworks and bouldering from the Summit over Donner Lake (as Anthony would say - Awesome!). Ping Pong and Kiddie Pool at the lodge, hanging out on the screen deck (blast you mosquitos), branding wood plaques out front of the lodge, soccer on the TV (with the Trips, Carter and Warren in the bear and wolf rockers). Food, food, food (thanks to all the sous chefs, cooks and clean up crew!).
Of course there is never enough time to do it all. It seems time runs out before we can see the waterfalls, all the lakes, hike, etc. However, I guess we can save that for your next trip to the Gap.
I will post Uncle Jim's pictures once we get them loaded off his camera. Please look at Meagan's post for the parade and others.
Thank you again for attending. Though it may seem like the reunion is a lot of work, the benefit of seeing everyone together makes the all the work worth it (in gold). We love you all so very much!
