The children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of Ruben Merrill & Ora Bunderson Allred gathered July 23-25 in Suncadia, Washington to share old memories, make new ones and renew family ties. It was hosted by the children of Wells and Loriol.
Uncle Ellis 79, Aunt Richine 87, Uncle Jim 89, & Aunt Muriel 82-the four surviving siblings.
16 first cousins made it, pictured above from youngest to oldest. There were 36; 2 have passed, 1 is hospitalized, 3 are serving as mission presidents (or sisters), and 5 out of contact. Over the course of 3 days 130 of us gathered.
We ate, ran, ate, played games, ate, visited, ate, toured farms....
It was a great!
