Orvin Jenks Reunion

This is my Grandma Nona Jenks. It was wonderful to have her there. Grandpa was too ill to be able to come, but he was in my thoughts a lot.

My cousin Angela put a lot of hours making this Family Tree of everyone in the Orvin and Nona Jenks family. My cousin Ginger's husband Jared, did the beautiful artwork. So here we are in Idaho for the big family reunion. It was quite warm, but there was always something going on. At Jenks reunions there is always softball,
horseshoes, basketball and water, water, water. Gage had a great time playing with cousins and especially playing in the water.

It was great being able to see so much of my family. I haven't seen some of them for quite some time. After the reunion we headed for Oakley to spend some time with my parents. Gage was quick to make Grandma Pam and Grandpa his buddy's. He loved "helping" out in the yard and garden and jumping on the trampoline. My brother Michael and his family live there also so Gage had fun playing with his cousin. We also went to the City of Rocks to climb around. Gage thought that was pretty cool to climb all over big rocks, but he wasn't excited about going back down the rocks.

I thought you might have been in Oakley when we were. I wanted you to meet the girls! Unfortunately we had to head back sooner than expected so I didn't call your house to see if you were around! Ah well. Maybe next year??
