Gwiliam Family Reunion

The descendants of George and Vernice Gwilliam gather every few years for a family reunion. Actually this is not all of the descendants, probably a little more than half. What a great family! We stayed at Flathead Lutheran Bible Camp. We loved the camp and loved the reunion.

Playing on the lake was definitely a highlight!






Cliff jumping right next to the sign that says "Cliff Jumping Prohibited" - even Grandpa Buck jumped.







There are a lot of twins in the Gwilliam family. Here are 6 1/2 sets of the 8 twins in this family.

A Gwilliam reunion wouldn't be complete without a talent show and auction. Uncle Don entertained us with his magic show.


Jill, Hanna, Kaela, Julia did a skit called The Audition.

Ezra's talent was eating to the coolest song called "Ezra Eats"



On Sunday morning, we had a devotional right next to the lake. It was so beautiful. Jill gave a great talk on Do Good, Be Good.






Hanna and her buddy Kasen Nelson (Kayla Gwilliam Nelson's son)
Jill and her buddy Elise Gwilliam (Ezra's daughter who has a genetic disorder but shows lots of signs of autism. She doesn't speak.) Ezra said that every time his son, Brett, prays he says, "please bless that Elise will be able to talk again someday, maybe."
It is amazing to see all of the things that this family has been through: divorce, cancer, death, adoption, inactive children, etc. Time will tell what the next adventures will be. Just remember to always keep the faith!!!

8 sets of twins in one family? Oh my word! Like really. How does that even happen?
