Thank you, thank you to all that helped once they arrived. It was the wonderful help from the younger folks that made the picnic as great as always. Again both Ma and Pa thank you - it was great to have your help and understanding. Steve brought along two new arrivals for 2007. First and most important a Wife by the name of Jacqueline. She came by the way of Australia. The second was a Golf Cart that gave he and Jacqueline great mobility around the Home Station and places near and not so near. The menu for 2007 remained much the same. Pa did rearrange the portions just a tad. He came out even on the Crawdads - two five pound packages, and the mustard roasts - four in all. He goofed on the shrimp, however - he had gotten four packages, well two would have been enough. But, ya know the best part of the eats is all the great stuff that folks bring to share. Yum yum, good. As always lots of pictures were taken and shared. Pictures this year come from Jacqueline, Juan and Pa. Pa's camera contained many pictures taken by several unknown photo takers. Do believe, however that Jason was the prime button pusher. The yard, as always took on the look of 'tent city'. The tenters for 2007 were treated with rain one night, and lots of it. Several had a couple of inches of rain under the tent. It seems that the ground cloth should not stick out beyond the the tent wall -- oh well. Tent City Of
course there was a campfire. The fire was not as large as in the
past years - it has been just plain DRY at the Home Station for the
Summer of 2007. Hence the fire was keep low and well under
control. Ya know what, however the hot dogs, fire pies,
somemores, and all that good stuff tasted great as always.
Also, no never mind the low fire did not delay nor detract from
the Eucure Games and other enjoyment.
Campfire
The
younger set took a couple of side trips for 2007. One such
adventure was a swim time at Higgins Lake. Latter in the weekend,
some went to Mackinaw City at the 'Top of the Mit'. A many of
folks went for a ride 'around and about' on Steve's Gulf Cart.
Side Trips
Most
of all there is joy of having the extended family and friends about,
and that means PEOPLE. Yep, thos special people did show.
Many a picture was taken - this is what they all looked like.
People
Zach sent
along some neat pictures taken on his Cell Phone. Most were taken
at the campfire. Thus, on some ya will have to look close.
The effect is great. It does appear that some were taken
Friday night and on the trip to Mackinaw City. They have been
added for your enjoyment.
