After a grueling trip, we arrived at Crest Haven Family Center in Illinois at about three o'clock in the morning. Our family stayed in a little cottage on the campground. Above is everybody that was able to come to the reunion, except for Grandpa, who had gone home before we were able to take pictures. Gabriel's family came from Pennsylvania, Dorcas's from Vermont, Fain's from Texas, and us from Colorado. Kezia and Chris and Grandma and Grandpa came from about twenty miles away. Joella's family lives just across the road, as they are presently care takers for the campground.
Here are all 29 grandchildren present. Had all the grandchildren been present, there would have been 43! ( The 44th is on it's way to Craig and Joella's family!)
Here are all the girl cousins, 15 in all.
All the boy cousins (except Dorcas's baby Fletcher who did not care about pictures) - ready to run, jump, climb trees, and tease the living daylights out of their girl cousins!
Dorcas's family (Dorcas is the oldest of the Morley children and has the most children) was the only one we managed to get a picture of as a family! Sorry! The time sped by dreadfully, and we only got these group pictures because we decided it was more important to take pictures than eat the supper that was waiting all ready for us in the dining hall! We wanted to get the pictures before it got too dark and before Dorcas's family left the next day. We were all so glad the Barths could come. They brought a lot of love, and also some Vermont cheese and a half gallon of real Vermont maple syrup for each family. Their oldest son, Peter, was the master photographer of the reunion, snapping shots of almost everything you could imagine.
