Calderwood Family Reunion

At the end of July we drove to Eastern Idaho for the Calderwood family reunion. On the way there we visited my Aunt Cindy and some of her kids in Boise and took our kids to a water park there, but we don't have any pictures of that. (What was I thinking?) The reunion was held at a huge lodge in the mountains in a very remote area across the Idaho/Wyoming border from Jackson Hole. It is so beautiful and we all had a good time, but the 28-hour round trip drive just for 1 1/2 days of reunion was... a little intense!

At the reunion they celebrated the birthdays of all kids under 12:
The Mickey Calderwood family was in charge of the food, which was actually not as bad as I thought it might be, especially considering that Carson's mom had a broken foot and was in a wheelchair! Thanks Mickey for doing most of the work! Here's Carson and his brother and sister serving food:
They held their annual auction to make money for next year's reunion, and Mickey was the MC as always:
