Calderwood Family Reunion August 2008

It has been a long time since we have all been able to get together. With all of us living so far apart we don't get to do this often. I hadn't seen Shaun and Rebecca for almost two years, and this was the first time that any of us siblings had seen Ella, our newest addition to the family. So we made use of all our time. Everyone arrived on Thursday night late and we got settled in. The next morning we got up and talked and had a great time and then in the afternoon we all went to Ouray. We hiked up box canyon, walked the shops on the main street and then we went swimming and had a blast playing water volleyball. We were horribly loud, laughing and yelling as the usual Calderwood competiveness came out. After swimming we all went home for some dinner and we relaxed and then played another round of volleyball in the backyard, in the dark. Saturday was filled. The girls went shopping in Montrose and the boys went to Silverton to check out the sites. When we got home we had a surprise birthday for Mom and she was totally surprised!! The night ended with more visiting and volleyball. We all had a great time together and I can't wait to do it again!!
