Torgesen Reunion Fun!


So it's been a long while since we've posted any news from our household; it's not from lack of news, more from lack of priority, time, and any number of other excuses I can't currently think of. The beginning of July found us visiting with family, most of whom we haven't seen for almost a year! Jamie and her kids were able to come stay a couple days en route to the Torgesen Family Reunion held in Northern Idaho (Blanchard & Oldtown to be exact). We sure enjoyed the opportunity to spend time with family! Here are some pictures to tell the story! Thanks David, Elizabeth, Kara, Scott, and Andy & Andrea for caravanning with us through the night!



Here is Carter (8 months old at the time) with his Great-Grandma.








What a good looking couple! Aunt Kara and soon-to-be "Uncle Scott" enjoying dinner out on the deck!









Here's everyone enjoying the traditional Torgesen Ice Cream pig-out (can't have an official Torgesen gathering without said event) before the fireworks on the evening of the 4th.






Some of the great-grandkids, while hiking on a trail beside Lake Coeur d'Alene in Northern Idaho.




Here the kids are actually hiking along the trail...feel like you're right there with 'em? Just trying to give the play by play...

The picture at the top shows the actual Lake. Due to my lack of blogging skills, I'm not quite there when it comes to formatting and getting the pictures where I want them!



Ah, a shot of Granny & Gramps Torgesen w/ the Johnson grandkids at their new home/Great - Grandma's home, in Oldtown, ID! It's been fun having G&G T stop by on their way to/from Oldtown over the past year as they've prepared to move up there... our door is always open!

Marie,

You probably don't remember me but Russ and I have fond memories of growing up with your parents for mentors - we all wanted to grow up to be like your mom. Well, I did anyway - lol! Anyway, thank you for posting these - I had heard your parents had moved to Idaho - we live in the Idaho Falls area. I found you via your brother Russell's blog - my sister-in-law Rachel has his blog listed. :D
