Wolfgramm Family Retreat 2018

What a fantastic weekend! Our cabin buddies was my nieces, Anessa and Alema Atuaia. They're attending BYU Provo and wouldn't be with their family who resides in Cozet, Virginia this Thanksgiving holiday. So we made sure that they know they are more than welcome to join our little getaway. And I'm glad they did. These two bright young ladies has always been a joy to be around. We had a blast driving together to the cabins and hanging out in the cabins talking stories and laughing our brains off! It was also nice to see my nephews from Las Vegas to join us and spend time with them this weekend. There were 7 families together spending a fun and memorable weekend together at the Holmstead Ranch. Each of the families had their own cabin and we gathered together in the main hall to eat many fantastic meals. I'm glad that i was able to experience many wonderful memories with each family and friend. I hope we can do it again but during the summer time so we can do more out door activities. Anyways, here are a few photos from this weekend shenanigans.
