Cully had the idea of a gathering of the Pike/Gibson/Nordby/Frye clan in Wisconsin Dells where Nanny and Grandpa lived; and thanks to Uncle Jerry and Aunt Myrna, the house is still there for a reunion spot.
But first the Old Timey photos — then and now — Valley Fair photo from a while ago….
Cully, Mom and Todd, Valley Fair 70s
And now — July 22, Wisconsin Dells – family has expanded
Rough bunch —
We had great fun — Cully figured Oliver and Emmett were the right age –she was right – they loved it! Bob and I did not do the whole experience, and I only have a few photos of us at home in the woods.
Favorites — Fudge – several times – and the arcade also several times — Emmett collected a bunch of small rubber ducks in the arcade. Ann Marie and Todd got in a little aunt and uncle action — and I did not cook since my two children both happened to marry great cooks. (Not that they can’t cook 🙂 )
I think they were watching a movie
only Jonesy looking at the camera!
A great big thanks from Mom (me) for the treat of being together.
Oh what a treat! I remember the Valley Fair moments. You all look like a wild crew. Bob looks perfect in his new role. Thinking this should be your Christmas photo.
How lovely to all be together in that special place in the woods.
So nice that you understand — you have been there since the first Valley Fair old Timey Photos — I have one of all the Blake Middle School teachers too!My heart is full with all the history and love.
Looks like a good time had by all. Great pictures.
I realize I also have an “escape to Wisconsin” to temper the intense Lake Elmo vibes.
That new old time photo is hilarious!
Glad you all had fun!
