2005 Bourne Family Reunion

All of these people and one dog met at NATURAL BRIDGE VA for the 17th annual reunion of the Bourne family. Below are some pictures I took while attending this awesom gathering. I am related to the Bournes thru marriage. My daughter Wendi married Rik Bourne. We love Rik and all the Bournes, the ones from the North and the ones from the South. I am not sure why they invited us, but we had a wonderful time and will go again if invited.
