The perfect ending to our summer was a Floyd and Gwen Toone Family Reunion in Grace, Idaho. We met for lunch at the Niter chapel, and got reacquainted with family we don't see often enough.
Some of Greg and Sherm's kids- cute nieces and nephews. Alicia took the fancy-dress award!
After a delicious meal, the Toone brothers took turns updating us all on their families. Here's Curt with cousins Garth and Michael, and nephew Matthew….
and brothers Sherm, Greg and Fred.
The grandkids represented the families in a competition of "Name That Toone", conducted by Ryan. So fun! Bryan represented our family well!
Then we had an Ancestor Wax Museum. and "came to life" when someone came up and pushed the button on our chair. We told a synopsis of their lives, and Curt and I depicted John and Emma Prosser Toone.
Brittney pretended to be Ann Lacey Bennet, and Steven was her son Enoch.
Trent portrayed (with a Scottish brogue) Peter McIntyre- an ancestor of both mine and Curt's!
And here's Heather as Nellie Bennett- Curt's grandmother. Connie, Greg and Trent did a great job putting this all together. It was so much fun, and we learned a lot!
Alicia set up a photo booth outside and took fun family group pictures of everyone. We missed Nathan's family, but all the rest of our family members were able to come.
All these faces just melt my heart!
Sure do love this family of ours!
