Family Reunion

This year's Oberholtzer Family Reunion took us back to Laramie, Wyoming, where I grew up.  We camped out at Lake Owen, one of our favorite places to camp when were were growing up.  We fished in the lake, went on raft rides, ate tons of delicious food and just had a fantastic time renewing bonds with family members.  On the last day of the reunion we broke camp and traveled to Laramie for a fun "Amazing Race" type game that took us to many of the places I frequented when I lived there.  We got to see our old house, our old elementary school, and the store that used to be Baskin Robbins (where all five of us kids worked in high school).  It had been 7 years since I have been there so it was interesting to go back.  As usual, the annual reunion was a great time that leaves me feeling a tad bit homesick when it's over.

We got to Laramie before we went to Lake Owen so we got a pizza from Papa John's and ate it at La Bonte Park.  The kids wanted to take this feather but we settled for a picture of it.
