Ghost writing for grandson Tomas

Tomas, a self-portrait

Spending time with my family was really special this summer...and one of the highlights was a family reunion held at my cousins Jerry and Bonnie Robel's home in Selah, Washington. A lot of my Dad's side of the family was there, including the "trouble-makers"...the Robel and Ciez families! They really aren't trouble-makers, but it sure is fun to tease them about it...especially, since us Sheltons are so mild-mannered and proper. Some of the Kushners were there and they kept us all in line.

Anyway, my oldest grandson Tomas was given my camera and this is his contribution to the blog. I will caption the pictures as best as I can...remember, I was off doing my storytelling and he took the pics. And he took a lot of pictures...this is a small sampling of them and, unfortunately, some of the partygoers didn't get caught in his sights.
