Camping at Hilgard Junction Park before, during and after Family Get Together....Above Arlo is trying to get his chair to fold out, darn thing is a puzzle that should just fold out so easy!  :)  Our trailer, in space 2.
Standing at the back looking North, you will see Greg's tent (blue) the the other tent is Cynthia's family tent that has been around since before Marco was born....now he is a married and a dad!
Space #1 finds our grandson Jacob's vehicle along with Daughter Cynthia's pickup.  You can see Jacob's tent too.  Actually it is daughter Sandra's little tent so she could have a place to put her stuff.
 Great Grandson Isaac and Great Granddaughter Lola, loved camping and the freedom it gave them for running, jumping, playing in water and just enjoying being with each other.
Newest member of our family is Alicen Clair with her mother Melissa, from the sounds of things Alicen really likes being outside, she is almost 3 months old.   You can see Cynthia in the back ground fixing the flap on her tent.
Grandson Jacob was a real help in keeping up with the little kids.  Here he is talking with Rosemary our great granddaughter, in the back ground you see Cynthia working around and her granddaughter Lola trying to help !
Cynthia setting up her kitchen under a wonderful shelter, her son Marco is to the right doing some picture taking of his own.
 Sister Judy taking advantage of some shade while she watches the coming and goings of the kids.
 Melissa brought the wading pool for the kids and at first the water was COLD but didn't take the kids long to figure out it was OK.  Cynthia, Melissa and Isaac under the shelter and Lola in the water.
Just a camp view with the shelter over the table to protect the food that might happen to be out. :)

So many pictures missing, didn't show Sandra, Zdenka, and some others.  Will get with my grandson Marco and see if he will share some photos with me.  I can only hope.

2012 Family Get Together, just can't call it a REUNION as feel it is really just a family getting together to know each other, eat good food, talk and bring each other up to date on our family members.  :)
