Reunion Time

Carl and I met up with his oldest brother, Les and his wife Gay, and headed up to Stoddard Creek campground (about 60 miles north of Idaho Falls) for the annual Ferdinand Rottweiler family reunion. Seems the only photos we took were of us! Unfortunate, because it is quite an interesting and diverse group! Each year they have both a silent and regular auction and sell all kinds of items everyone provides. This year Gay's denim quilt brought in $250.00. This is how they fund the reunion. They have a family crest plaque with the word "Rottweil" on it which is the town in Germany where the family name comes from. They tickets for the plaque, and the person whose ticket it drawn takes the plaque, keeps it for a year, then brings it back to the next reunion.

The theme of the reunion was "holidays."

Gay and Les are two of the best people you'll ever meet, and we love them dearly!
