Lewiston

After traveling through Hell's Canyon, we arrived in Lewiston, ID. My parents and the RV went on five minutes further across the river and the border to Clarkston WA. Get it? Lewis and Clark!

This is where we celebrated my grandmother's (father's mother) 90th birthday. Grandma has 4 kids (all present), 13 grandkids (12 present), 17 great grandkids (13 present). For some families this might be no big deal because everyone lives close. We represented NY, PA, NC, WA, OR, CO, CA, and Idaho. AND one granddaughter and her twin one year olds traveled from their home in Germany.

We had a great time catching up with everyone for two days. The picnic party was a huge success with 75 family members attending. I had not seen most of my cousins for 17 years. My Grandma had never met my kids. It was great to make new connections. We all found each other on facebook and hope to keep in touch.
