Family Reunion Mary's House - 2001
Lori and I showed up a day late.  So most of the family folks were had already started without us.  Let's see if I can name everyone here, from left to right.

Michelle (cousin Ken's girlfriend), Julie and Ken (cousins), Brent (on the bike), dad Larkin, mom, and Lori. 

Picking up from Lori is Lamar, and dad at the far right. 

Lori and I flew in from Winnemucca in a Cessna 182 and I can't remember why we were late.  Probably work related. 

Yep, here's Brent on his new claim, a single speed Schwinn. 
The is my brother David and his daughter Alexis.  They drove in from Washington.  Quite the drive. 
This is aunt Lana and aunt Olga. 
Brent is pointing to his new friend Christian (his 2nd cousin).  When I started trying to figure out how everyone was related I had to do research.  Christian is my 1st cousin, once removed; figure that one out...
Uncle Rex and Aunt Lana...
Brother David, nephew Mike and Anthony, and cousin Danny.
And, how many relatives does it take to put up a tent? 
Left to right...

Brother Mike, sister Mary, Megan, mom, aunt Lana, Brent, Christian and aunt Cindy. 

Next day... we must be waiting for something. Probably breakfast. 

 
Let's see if I have these folks right.

Aunt Barbara, Tim, cousin Bonnie, aunt Cindy and cousin Ken. 

Aunt Melba, aunt Gracie, sister Linda, and sister Mary.
Brother Mike, aunt Gracie, mom, aunt Cindy, cousin Danny, and aunt Lana.
Oh, we weren't waiting for breakfast.  It was mom's birthday celebration. I won't tell her age.  I've heard that is bad luck....
Dad Larkin, uncle Doyle, cousin Crystal, and the backsides of my sister Linda and my wife, Lori. 
Another shot of the three kids (the clan).
How could I leave this picture out.  Some of the guys started hiking around looking for rattle snakes.  I've never actually hunted for snakes, but I'm pretty sure if there were any snakes in the area, this group would have found them.
Another family photo moment. 

From left to right, brother Mike (far left), aunt Barbara, Michelle, dad and aunt Gracie behind Michelle, cousin Bonnie, uncle Doyle, mom, uncle Lamar (far rear in white shirt), aunt Olga, cousin Christian (1st cousin, once removed), aunt Cindy, brother David, and brother Mike. 

Whew.  Lots of relatives.

This is cousin Mike and his girlfriend Michelle and her daughter Megan. 

Aunt Gracie and my mommy.
Uncle Doyle and aunt Gracie.
Cousin Ken, sister Mary and cousin Bonnie. 
Uncle Doyle and his wife Cindy. 
Cousin Ken and his wife Julie.
Uncle Lamar and his wife Olga.
Sister Linda and her husband Mike.
Cousin Crystal still sleeping while everyone packs up and begins to head their own directions. I couldn't believe she slept through all the noise. 
Brother David packed and ready to head out. 
It was a fun time.  And I saw more relatives in one place than I can ever remember. 

My thanks to Mary for putting this together.  Lori and I left in our rented Cessna 182 and mom and dad Larkin left in their plane (I can't remember what it was).

Great time... and great weather to boot....
