The annual family reunion

It was once again that time of year again for the annual Waite Family Reunion. This years event was another wonderful event. Though it seems like the event gets larger every year (we know there were at least 65 in attendance) this years event was much more enjoyable because it was a bit more subdued than it has been in years past. Maybe it's because we are all getting a little older! :-)

Though every years event is special, this years was especially nice because we got to see Whitney Conner who we haven't seen since she moved to Florida some number of years ago. Whitney came with her boyfriend Nick who was warmly received by the entire family. And, the two of them dove right into the whole Waite craziness by anchoring the winning team on the tug of war competition!

Also, once again, the Pot luck at the end of Saturday night was a huge success! Another special aspect was that though Whitney had to go to work on Saturday afternoon, she and Nick returned Saturday night after she got off work and they enjoyed some time around the camp fire with the family!

Here are some pictures and a video from this years family reunion.

Before you know it, it will be time for another Waite family reunion in just 12 short months.

Some other great news of something that happened recently is that Carol was recently promoted to Staff services Analyst for Cal-fire. Her husband Eric is so very proud of the way Carol has excelled in her career change from that of being a 25 year veterinary technician to that of entry level limited term Office Technician for Cal-fire and working her way up to an analyst position in just 3 short years. Carol, your husband is so very proud of you!

Stay tuned folks, 'cause in less than a week, the rig is pulling out for our trip to Truckee for the wedding of Eric's nephew Marq Wraight to a wonderful young lady Stephanie Chambers!

Happy Camping! Eric and Carol
