The family, June 2012

Our nephew Damon, wife Amanda and six of their seven children were vacationing in Seattle from Phoenix.

We scheduled a day to get together with them and have a fun and relaxing time, eating, visiting and enjoying their company.

Before they came we were able to get a picture of our family (well, at least half of it!) before Damon and Amanda came.  Something that isn't easy to do when your children grow up and have families of their own.

I love pictures, especially ones of family and good times together.  I think it's so important to me because my parents didn't take pictures and I have very few of myself growing up.
