And there were 20....

The children gathered in Ludington and their children and their children's children. Outside of missing Michael Deeds (Kari's husband) we came together for the 2009 Clarkson Clan Family Reunion. David Miller's children and My Stacy, Ed and Lori did not join us. But it has been many years since we were all able to make this annual event and oh so worth it! Much happiness abound - we frolicked and jumped (yes I introduced jumping pictures to MY family!) trekked and laughed our way through this past weekend, even with the sun shining its face on us sporadically through ominous clouds, the joy of being together prevailed! BUT we did not succeed in getting one big family shot! Took tons of photos but we were never all together at the same time so...it will be in our mind's eye that we were there and not something we can prove with a picture! But some wonderful memories were captured and will be shared with this post...
