Clark Family Reunion Fun

Clark Family Reunion 2008- I Love These Guys!

This is our 8th year doing organized reunions, but we have been getting together without calling it a reunion for a long time! I think about how we would all travel to Mom and Dad's in New Jersey and have a house full of kids! Those days shopping the outdoor vendors from New York in Columbus, swimming in the pool, traveling up to the Hill Cumorah Pagent. And all of Mom and Dad's trips to Utah where we would all gather at Linda's or Stephen's. I guess in those days Mom and Dad did all the work and planning. Now we all pitch in so that Mom and Dad can enjoy it.

The T-Shirts make it seem so official. My kids love their "Clarkie" shirts and we wear them all the time. This year we went to a wonderful ranch in Utah. Hidden Springs Ranch. Linda found it and she did great! Let's keep this place a secret!

Here are my highlights and favorite memories.

Blessing 2 babies -

Enjoying the sunrise and some quiet time on the back deck - Kerry took some awesome pictures.

Swimming in a warm pool - the pool was so great.
