Anderson Family Gathering

Jonathan, Josh's brother, made it home from Australia for the first time in several years and to celebrate we all gathered in Jackson and Bear Lake.  He introduced us to his fiance, Davina, and we gladly accepted her as the newest family addition.  Josh's parent's were thrilled to have five of their six children together for the first time in years, along with spouses and 9 grandchildren!  We spent a few days camped at Alpine to run the Snake River.  A few of us made it down Alpine Canyon and got most of us made it to the on the scenic stretch at the Tetons (including Jonah!).  After Jackson, we headed to Bear Lake to hang out at Mary Ann and Dick's cabin.  We spent our time visiting, taking walks, and getting to the lake to sail Dick's boat.  It was a great week and I am so happy to be a part of the Anderson clan.

As previously stated, Jonah rafted his first river at 11 months.  Uncle Daniel let us hop on his new raft along with Dick and Mary Ann, and River (Daniel's 2 yr. old).  It was River's first river trip too.  This was also Jonah's first camping trip.  He did great, enjoyed being outside, and loved watching his cousins.

Thanks to each Anderson family for making the trip and making it a great one!  Here are a few pictures from the week, but there are more on the slide show.  Thanks to Cathy and Stephen as I snagged a couple of your photos for the slide show.
