Pickup Family Reunion--July 2008

Finally getting pictures posted from the Pickup reunion. We had such a great time and EVERYONE was able to be there. Right now there are 9 grandchildren with at least two more on the way, and I'm betting there will be 5 more next in 2009. We started with a trip to Fort Stevens. It's a great place at the beach. There are lots of bike trails, a lake, a very short ride to the beach, a shipwreck and lots to see and do. We sported our family shirts the first day and it was always easy to identify a Pickup. We went to the temple one day, as always, which is one of my favorite things to do at our annual family reunion. Friday night we had a girl's night out and went out to eat, then back to our house for games and foot treatments by Lynnette. There was also a family birthday party, talent show, shooting, and lots of swimming to beat the heat. It was a busy, fun-filled week, but we sure enjoyed spending time with everyone and Zane and Nora really got to know their cousins and aunts and uncles better.

Family pictures were kind of a joke for us this year. There was little cooperation.

Nora discovered she does not like the taste of sand.
