The Morts

We had our 3rd annual Mortimer Family Reunion this last weekend. Due to my parents' health, we chose to just have activities at their home. We celebrated John and Jeff's birthdays, enjoyed some great potluck meals and did LOTS of swimming. On Saturday night, we played "The Match Game" (based on the old tv show) and thanks to my nephew, Sparky, even Charles Nelson Reilly was in attendance. There was a lot of movie going all weekend with different groups going to "The Dark Night" and "Mamma Mia", so we had plenty of film discussions. We also had a talent show where Katie performed a dance to "Fruit Salad Salsa" and Jennie did a not-so-serious opera rendition of "Old Mother Hubbard". On Sunday, my Uncle Gerry and Aunt Linda came down from Idaho Falls to give us a devotional about their mission in the Phillipines. Amy and her kids came, and we also got a visit from Uncle Bob and Aunt Anne in Tennessee. Here's the family picture we took, but it's totally incomplete -- we're missing like 12 grandkids/their families/in-laws. I added a slide show with some pictures we took -- some our better than others, we're experimenting with all the great new camera equipment Jeff (thanks!!!) gave us.
