Goodson Family Reunion in Idyllwild, CA

Bill and Alice, five of her six children and their husbands and children gathered at a lovely log home in the mountains above Palm Springs for a Family Reunion.  Five members of son-in-law Jeffrey Robinson's family were in attendance also~

We had SO much good food- lasagne, chili, pulled pork, Mexican, etc!  Thanks to all the great cooks.  The kiddies had ample opportunity to play games and run around.  We attended a concert in the local park one evening and went to the Nature Center for Butterfly Daze- the one day each year when people can 'play' with Monarch butterflies before they are released to the wild.  Each evening there was a devotional with a spiritual thought- thanks Bill, Jeff, Rod, and Rob!  We played games, went for walks, made crafts and even had a 'yard sale' on Saturday morning- no money exchanged, just a time to trade for someone else's goodies.

And a good time was had by all... what a lovely home we stayed in, made of imported Finnish wood!
