O'Brien Family Reunion at Mt. Rainier

Hey Gus, check out the view! "But Dad, there is a rock on the ground!"
Grandpa Dick landing a dink. He did win the fishing derby this year- if there are fish to be caught, Dad and Matt can smell them out.
Mmmmm. Corn.
A couple of weekends ago we enjoyed a wonderful trip to Mt. Rainier for the annual O'Brien Family Reunion. What a wonderful bunch of people to go camping with. Family came from Sequim, Port Angeles, Spokane, Hermiston Oregon, Tri-cities, Walla Walla, Missoula MT, and of course Oroville. Hmm I might be leaving out a few..


Anyways, we had our usual laid back good time. Aunt Leta told stories about Grandma Della (Gussy's great-great grandma) raising her four children (Leta, Gene, Melvin, and Jack) during the depression in Walla Walla. Aunt Leta remembers so much- she could tell us about her 3rd grade teacher like it was yesterday.


The weather was absolutely perfect at Ohanapecosh campground- while the rest of the state suffered 100- degree temps- we were comfortable in the shade at about 80. It was a great trip, and we are looking forward to going back to Mt. Rainier sometime in the future.
