VanBeveren Family Reunion

From Murfreesboro, TN we went to Pigeon Forge, TN for the VanBeveren reunion. A friend of Jim and Toni Lynn offered their home for us to use for the reunion. Toni Lynn told us that it was just a little cottage in the mountains and that she was pretty sure all 17 be able to find a place to sleep inside the house. Oh, and there was a pool nearby. Turns out that the "little cottage" was a huge log home with a pool! It was beautiful!

We had family talent show night. Here is Anna showing off her Irish dancing skills! She takes Irish dancing class every week...very cool!
