In July, we attended the RARARA 2014 Family Reunion at the YMCA of the Rockies near Estes Park, CO.
RARARA=Robert A. RAsmusson Reunion Association...er sumthin'.
It was great fun, with the exception of the swimming pool. Apparently it was built on a granite foundation, which is a lightning conductor; thus, when there were thunderstorms (which there were all day every day), the pool was closed. So our plans of swimming all week were foiled. FOILED! Let's all learn from this experience, and not build our indoor (or outdoor, for the matter) swimming pools on top of granite, hey?

Nils' siblings and parents are scattered all over this great US of A, so getting together with the whole gang was something that hasn't happened in years and years. It was awesome having everyone together. Our kids love seeing their cousins, who all live far away. They are all pretty similar in age, so everyone has a buddy. It's the best!
Thanks, Saren, for the sweet pics!
