1996 Chaussee Family Reunion Photos

In July 1996, the Chausee family had a reunion in Grand Junction, Colorado. These photos are from Jody's album. I copied them as they were mounted, which is also pretty much in chronological order.

Grand Junction was up pretty high. I know when I tried to run back to our cabin quickly, I was immediately out of breath. It took a while to recover-and not because I was not in good shape.

Grand Junction was beautiful. Dad wasn't feeling well enough to attend, but the rest of the family went. We had a wonderful time meeting lots of cousins. Marissa and I met up with the rest of the Gerrards in the airport. We drove a rented van through beautiful forest to the lodge for our reunion.
 
One of Mom's cousins coordinated for everyone. 

Here is a synopsis of the event.

 Everyone stayed at Grand Lake Lodge
