Great Scot!

by Julie

Last Saturday, June 26, 2010 we headed to Oak Grove past Leeds, Utah for the William Stirling Family Reunion. William is my great-great grandfather. It was great to see siblings, parents, cousins, uncles & aunts and of course Grandma C. with her sturdy little plaid cane. We played games, listened to stories and enjoyed a tasty lunch. The kids gathered up lots of candy being blasted out of a potato cannon. I didn't get any actual reunion photos, so if anyone has some, please share. Members of our immediate family who were there: Mom & Dad, Debbie, Chuck & Snick, Vicki & kids and Wayne's family.


One of the highlights of the reunion was Wayne...
boasting a tartan kilt while piping an array of delightful Scottish tunes!
Grandma called out "Wayne, what's under the kilt?"
and later tried to lift the kilt to attempt a peek.

Grandma Christensen, Wayne, Mom

Grandma & Wayne and
Grandma's brothers, Merrill & Culbert Stirling

4 Generations... Grandma, Mom, Wayne and Meg





We stopped in Leeds after the reunion to see the

Stirling Reunion

Hi all you wonderful children. Just in case you didn't get one of these invitations in the mail. Please come if you can - I know Grandma would be glad to see all of you. And - you will get to see Wayne play the bagpipes all dressed up in his kilt outfit. Oak Grove is close to Leeds at the base of Pine Valley Mountain. Love, Mom
