Allred Olympics 2012

Friday night,  just missing a few.  What a great family!

The 2012 Allred reunion was held at Suncadia, Washington hosted by the Wiley and Maria nation. The theme was Allred Olympics 2012 and we held opening ceremonies the same day as the 2012 summer Olympics.

The youngest and oldest cousin share a birthday.

The reunion was well attended with all but 4 of the 37 first cousins making an appearance sometime during the weekend.  

The Wells and Loriol family by the numbers as of July 27, 2012:

7 children

37 grandchildren, 25 years from the oldest to the youngest

75 great grandchildren with 3 on the way, oldest is 19, youngest born this day.

It was great renewing and strengthening family ties and meeting new members of the family.

Wiley, Ashlyn, Dexter & Sarah, Jon, and Carter did a great job day one (and the whole weekend) as Brianna and Jack were bringing the newest family member into the world and Maria and Elisha were with them.  Maria and Elisha then joined the festivities on Saturday.

What a memorable weekend in so many ways!
