Rottweilers--the family, not the dog!

Darren, Susan, Kevin, Ethan, and Jacob joined us up at Stoddard Creek campground north of Idaho Falls for the annual Rottweiler Family Reunion. Since Carl's Aunt Edna just died a couple of weeks ago at age 97, that makes his brother, Les, the oldest in the Rottweiler clan at age 81!


We truly are a winning family...all three of Darren and Susan's boys won their choice of soda pop in some kids' games (this cute little girl in yellow wanted to be in every photo--not sure who she is); Darren and Carl both won huge jars of jelly beans and Skittles for coming the closest to number of pieces in the jar (Carl was only 3 jelly beans under!). Kevin won marbles and Ethan glow sticks in a silent auction, and Pat bid all the way up to $8.00 to win a dancing Santa Claus!!

The main dish for the lunch was a pig that had been roasted in a huge barbecue-type drum. Jacob would have nothing to do with it..."that pig's dead, and it's been in the dirt...yuck!" (That's a direct quote by the way.)

I love to listen to Jacob talk! Looks like a "Lucky" fun weekend. Pretty cute picture of Susan, too!
