Fun fotos on a family visit

I met Valerie in Chicago at the Aspell Family Reunion in May. Valerie's dad Bob is one of Bud Aspell's six kids. I'm one of Mother Tibbs six kids. Bud and my mother are first cousins.

So, we think we may be third cousins. We're not quite sure, but we do know we enjoyed each other.

Valerie lives on Bainbridge Island near Seattle with her husband Craig and daughters Bevan and Ana (my apologies if I've misspelled).

They came to Coeur d'Alene this weekend for a baby shower for their longtime friends Scott and Carolyn. While Carolyn worked at the newspaper, Scott and Joey joined my cousin and her family on a visit to the Lovestead and to Tibbs Arabians.

So, of course, when it wasn't pouring rain, I snapped a few fun fotos.

Enjoy.
