Ray Family Reunion

The reunion was Dad's 90th birthday party. I hope he felt loved. It was great to be with everyone. There were 240 attending but it didn't feel like that many because the camp site was go big.
The best part were the visits.
This game turned into a back rub.

Jameon goes to college

It was fun to all be apart of the drop off. I'm glad Tiffany could go with us to show him around. She gave all of us a tour and pointed out his classes. The place was a ghost town. No one is there for summer school. He is adjusting well and says he has friends. :)
He loved his shopping trip. Mom tried to keep her mouth shut and just watch what he put in the cart. I just put back the second box of Raman.

He was just fine until we walked away and then he gave us the "don't leave" look. He is hold the poster size family picture we gave him. He better have it up in his room. :)

Grandpa and Grandma


We had so much fun getting know Brynlee. She smiled and waved hello to everyone. She was perfect in every way. I don't think Nicole and Devin know how good she is. It might take another child to find that our.

US History Trip

We look pretty ragged. This is Gettysburg, our last stop, and we look like we are worn out. Gettysburg was one of our favorites. The battle fields have a reverence about them. This is the new visitor center that we all loved. Jameson wore his beloved star fanny pack the whole trip. People didn't know how to take him. This picture caught Brynlee with her scowl. She only did that the first day we were there and then she warmed up to us just fine.
We all loved Washington DC. What a beautiful city with so much to see and so little time to see it. Can you tell we ran through a down pour to get to the Lincoln Monument? It was bigger than I remembered as a child. That doesn't happen very often.
This was Jameson's and Braiden's favorite part of the trip. The tour guide couldn't believe this was their first time on a Segway. They were naturals. He could believe it was Nicole's first time though. Caleb, Brynlee, and I stayed home and watched a DVD. We'll do it next time when Caleb is 16.
Nice photography Nicole!

This was our first stop, Philadelphia. It was full of history but I'm afraid we will remember it for it's heat. It was 100 degrees and 100 humidity. Don't worry, we watched "National Treasure" the night before we left.
