M Family Reunion Places

These are some of the places in my parent's history.

After my parents were married my Grandpa built a log house on some land behind their existing home. They sold the other house and my first memories of my grandparents are of this home. They would irrigate in the backyard and we would swim back there. It was beautifully built.






This is what is left of the Teton Dam


This canal runs right by my other grandparent's home. We used to tub down it in the summers.


When my parents got engaged my Dad lived in the little house on the left. He lived in the attic, but moved to the basement so my Mom could live in the attic during the flood clean up. My Uncle and Aunt lived on the main level. My Dad proposed in the attic.


My parents live in the apartment of this home right after they got married.



The home where my Dad's family was living while my parents were dating. My Mom met the family here and was shocked that they ate rabbit for dinner.


This box car was next to a home where my Dad's family lived. They would store grain in it. Not all of us are here because some of the babies were asleep in the car. In this house all 11 of the children in my Dad's family lived at one time before the eldest was married.


This is the house that goes with the box car.


This GIANT tree is in the front yard of the house.


This is the house my grandparents lived in when my Dad was born.


This is the home of my Dad's grandparents. He has fond memories of coming here.


The house where my Mom's parents lived when her Dad and Step-mom married. My parents had their reception in the orchard behind and then my grandpa built the log house behind.
