The Event ~ The Corneliusen Family Reunion III

July 1 - 4, 2012, Beartooth Mountain Ministries Camp, Montana

65-70 family members gathered together to enjoy three days of renewing family ties.  This is the third Corneliusen family reunion that I am aware of.  The first was 19 years ago in 1993 near the North entry of Yellowstone Park in Montana.  The second reunion was five years ago in 2007 in Scottsbluff, an event Tim and I hosted at Trails West Camp along the North Platte River right here in Scottsbluff.

And now the third reunion is history as well.  For those of us there, we all had a really great time.  For those family members who were not there, what a wonderful time you all missed out on.  The setting and scenery was beautiful, the food was delicious (alot of good cooks in this family), the activities fun. 

Kids and adults alike enjoyed horse back riding, zip lining, rock wall climbing, kayaking,   a horseshoe  tournament, lefsa making,  swimming, card games, reminiscing, and of course working on puzzles! 

It took us about a day and a half to complete this eagle puzzle.  A real challenge!

We enjoyed the opportunity to take granddaughter Mathilda with us.  She had so much fun.  She even climbed to the very top of this rock wall. . . .

Alexis' friend Val flew into Billings on Tuesday nite to join us briefly before heading out camping with Cash and Annie and Alexis on Wednesday morning.  It was exciting to finally meet this guy who Alexis is so happy to share her life with. 

Family Reunions are very special events and I am so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful extended family.  Till we meet again. . .
