Roger and Gloria's clan


Here's our family's photo at the 2006 Gordon reunion in Crawfords-ville, IN. We're missing Ellaina, Aaron, Madeline and Ella, who weren't able to fly in from Oregon.

Everyone you see here crammed into Erin and Rich's eight-seat Toyota minivan and traveled 600 miles from Minnesota to Indiana.

We left on a Thursday morning and spent that first night in Davenport, Iowa, after visiting the following places in Iowa: Northwood (Roger's birthplace), Carpenter (where many Gordon ancestors were laid to rest), Marble Rock (where Art, Mary Ellen and Roger lived for several years), and Waverly (where Rich attended Wartburg College, Noah's self-proclaimed future school).

We stayed that night at the AmericInn in Davenport, where Sarah took the first swim of her young life in the hotel pool. The next day, we got up and drove across Illinois to Indiana.

Thought about EVERYONE the whole weekend. I'm sad we couldn't get there, it was just too expensive for us this year. I'm so glad you all had a great time. THANKS for posting these pictures. I'll have to find a pic of the Dick and Mary Ellen's clan. Miss you! Lots of love and hugs!
