Top row left to right

First Row

First picture

Ken, Brannon, Larry at Brannon's choir concert in high school. Brannon said that would be the only time I'd see him in a tux. Not quite...he wore one when he got married.

Second picture

Leisa and her daughter Alyison. Alyison is now 16 or 17.

Third picture

Turtle races!! One of the past times at the family reunion campouts were turtle races!! It would take half a day to catch the baby turtles. Then we'd put the in the center of the table. The first turtle to make it to the edge was the winner! See that cute curly haired little girl in the white bathing suit? That's Katrina!

Fourth picture

The last picture is of my baby brother, Troy. (2006)

Second row:

First and second pictures

Another fun time camping was when Aunt Lois and Uncle Dave would borrow an Amish buggy from their friends and give us rides. That is Troy, I'm not sure who is in the middle, and Patti.

Third picture

The young girl and the boy on the right are now Troy's kids riding in the buggy! The boy on the left is a Sprow, one of Mitch and Sue's kids but I don't remember which one.

Fourth picture

Brannon is sure enjoying his ice cream! It's melting faster than he can lick the paddle!

Third row

First picture July 4th 198-something

Church services during campout. The older cousins would read from the Scripture and the rest of us would make up the choir. Brannon is the toddler in the bibs and red shirt in the front. Katrina is in the purple sweatshirt behind him. Here's what I could figure out from left to right starting at the top of the picture. Ken Vallimont is standing. Richard Faunce (Dad), John Christner are sitting in teh back row. I'm holding Patti Brose, Troy Faunce, Krissy Sprow, Peggy Faunce's hair (Mom always liked to hide in pictures!), Reenie Brose (cousin Irene - we called her Reenie I guess because Grandma was Irene.). Next row is Aunt Joyce Brose hiding behind one of her grandsons, Aunt Bea Vallimont, Mitch Teal, and Aunt Jean Sprow is sitting. On the left side of the picture is Todd Faunce is the front then Janice Vallimont, and I have no clue who is in the red hat and jacket.

Picture two

Kindra Faunce, Troy's youngest.

Picture three

Troy, John, Ken and Chris T who was someone's friend who came to visit.

Picture four

Uncle Pete, Aunt Joyce's husband.

Fourth row

First picture and then around the large family photo.

Katrina eating ice cream. She had tons of curls then too! Under her picture is Todd (2006). The picture under that is Todd's wife Missy and her son Hunter dancing together at Todd and Missy's wedding (8/10/2007). That house is where we grew up. Katrina and Chip have bought a house on part of the acreage next to this house! Camping again. Uncle Pete is kneeling trying to get the stove going for a meal. Doug Brose is holding the pot lid, Ken is in the hat. Gail Sprow has he back to the camera in the red shirt. I'm not sure who is in the chairs around the campfire. Above that Bo and Kindra (Kinner) are swinging another cousin.

Large family photo.

This was taken in the mid 80's. Brannon was a baby so it probably was 1985 since he was born in the winter. These are all first cousins. There are about 12 people missing from this picture for various reasons they could not be at the campout that year. I remember one of the girl cousins was in the service overseas. Grandma and Grandpa Heilman are sitting in the middle. One of these days when I have time I'll repost the picture with names.
