Ebbert Reunion--Saying goodbye and the drive home


Saturday morning we all got up and got on the road (or the plane). Here is the only pictures we took of all of us together. Really it's not even everyone. My dad and his wife Nancy are already gone. It is always so fun to be together. My kids think I am much more light hearted and fun when I am with my siblings. I suppose they are right. It is almost like going back in time a little bit when we are together. It's also wonderful to see how they have all grown and what great families they have. Thanks for a fun time everyone. Can't wait for the next one!

The whole gang minus Dad and Nancy.


Does your family have to do this every photo shoot?

On the way home we took a little detour through Joplin, MO. It was absolutely unbelievable. I have never seen anything like it. The devastation was so wide spread. There had already been a lot of clean up done, but it is still heart breaking. The pictures don't even come close to doing it justice.

If I am not mistaken this is where one of our churches used to stand in Joplin. It is completely gone now. It is not on the news anymore, but so many people will be dealing with this for years to come.

Yes, our family has to do that too every photo shoot! Looks like you had a fun time, glad to see you all on here. Those poor people in Missouri though, you just never know when something like that is going to happen, so sad.
