Sheppard Family Reunion

The Sheppard Family Reunion was held in early August at South Tahoe, right on the lake. It included all four Sheppard siblings (Sam, Art, Marilyn and Papa), twelve cousins, and twelve grandchildren ranging from 8 month old Max to twelve year old Alex. We celebrated with Sponge Bob/Square Pants, pinatas, and pirates (argh!) There was lots of golfing, swimming, skateboarding, bike riding, and good food!





























We caravaned down to Tahoe with the Leo and Amy. We had Colin and Adi half the time in our car. I loved Colin's exclamation at the end of the two day trip down: "My head is about to explode with all the fun I've had!" We took a quick detour in Roseburg to see the old house and ran into several longtime neighbors.

Here are the four Sheppards: Samuel, Arthur, Marilyn and Michael (the baby of the family!)














Nana and baby Max (a very tired little boy who didn't want to miss a thing!)














Here is Adi pinning the square pants on Sponge Bob with little cousin, Vivien watching!














Three happy Stoddards!














Jennifer directed the pinata with all the little cousins....here is Colin doing what he does best....swinging a golf club!














We spent one day on the lake playing with kayaks, paddle boats and wading (brr!)















Dinner the first night.....everyone reconnecting and meeting the new little ones!


Our little Max is the happiest baby!
