We did a Spring gathering of Winters this year. Winters historically have gathered in the Fall, but global warming changes everything 🙂
We played games, read books, and found many places to hide:
Harvested monster oysters, skipped rocks, and started fires:
Kayaked, admired an orca, and soaked in amazing views:
Very much enjoyed our time with Mom:
She recalled guarding Sue from boys, had a word of warning for Rian, Mikaylie’s new husband, and sang us a song:
Twenty-Two of us required all the table Mal and Kim could muster!
Took me 18 hours to get back home (delayed flights, added connections, and missed a gate by seconds!), but it was worth it.
Obligatory closing nature shot, at least would have been a nature shot 100 million years ago 🙂

thanks for sharing your wonderful family reunion with me. Your mom is so very special & your family outdoor adventures exilerating!
Yep, Mom is pretty special. Her middle name is a perfect reflection of her character … Beth Joy Winter 🙂
You didn’t add that Mom recalled you were her favorite 😉❤️💕
Favorite for the day. I think the new boy, Rian, was the previous day. She spreads the love out 🙂
thanks for sharing the Pics and especially the videos of Beth!!! made my heart happy to hear her voice!!! such an incredible human she is… I’ve often wondered if she had any idea of all the positivity she shared with so many of us and the impact she had in our lives!! nah.. she was just being Beth!! glad you all could get together to make and share memories!!!
Love it, Beth being Beth 🙂
This makes me happy, so many familiar faces!
