GOOD BYE---FAREWELL---UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN!!!!

And this little piggy went to Char and Dusty's for a Luau

Now this is some Hairy Buffalo!!!1

Hey Cal..you said we were going to a Luau not that I was going to be the Luau!!!!

Fire and Friends...Perfect (0h and Chars toes to the left..Hi everyone we have missed you)



Cool picture of our fire



We will miss these beautiful fires

Just chillin and checking out the Hairy Buffalo on Friday night

Oh this is fun ....and I don't have to work...yeah!!!

How big Justin???

Pre-party group

We are off---just sitting in traffic in Chicago now at 12:35pm...after paying tons of toll road expenses and such a bumpy road to pay for!!!  What a week two weeks I should say it has been!!!  Getting ready for the Luau and then packing the motor home...where did all that stuff come from and yes Laura I found homes for everything that was on the counters in a hour'!!!  But before all the packing and cleaning we had a great turn out for the Luau and Thank You to everyone who came, everyone who dressed up without being asked and of course for all the wonderful food as usual.  And as usual a very big THANK YOU TO CAL & SANDY & DUSTY STEVENS and all their helpers.  Without you there would have been no pig and no Luau.  Even tho Cal & Dusty Stevens had wanted to cook it in the fire pit it wasn't meant to be but was wonderful stuffed and the chicken was fantastic too.  What left over BBQ and Pork we had was eaten at the Happy Hour at Angel and Derek's on Wednesday and made into noodles.  The Hairy Buffalo that Gary Serres suggested was a hit and the the Pre-luau party where we put the Hairy Buffalo together was as much if not more fun then the Luau....  One thing for sure when ever a few of us get together there is sure to be fun!!!  At the Luau Dave Wilson tried to count how many were there and was only 1/4 of the way through at 45 when he gave up.  Dusty and him figured through out the evening there was probably 100-125 people all together in and out.  I know not enough of you drank the Hairy Buffalo but then some of you (I won't mention any names Scott & Tommy) had maybe a little bit too much...."Get your own spot Tom!"  Either way there were many new campers who joined us and some said it was the most fun they had ever had...so we were pleased that you were pleased.  I think by all the pictures you can see people had a great time!!

Now this is one big slip & slide

The kids love this and can't wait for their turn...Thanks Angie and Denny for doing it for them

Here I go

You got my picture Char

OK Jen says I'll show you kids how to do it and she ended up perfectly in the water on her float

Come on down says Denny the water is nice..

The biggest kid of them all.....Cal Stevens

Whoops Cal that's going to hurt......but what a picture!!!

Jacob just a slid en

Yeah this is fun says Margret

Good job..but here are some pointer's from Denny

Angie and Denny had their Slip and Slide for little kids and big kids on Saturday the day of the Luau.  Our son Larry was taking our grandsons Eric and Dylan kayaking and both of them were like "Man we are going to miss the slide this year".  They really enjoyed it last year and those you did get to go down enjoyed it this year...well maybe except Calvin who was a little sore but said he wasn't going to let Jenni out do him or Margret!!

Thomas has a blast

Margret hits the water..hey Denny weren't you suppose to catch her???

The stage is set

Honey don't catch the blindfold on fire..this isn't a fire dance!!! (Tim & Mindy)

Not bad Tim

Let's dance Dave

Yep..you got it Wilson

Even though it tried or did rain on us during the Luau it didn't dampen any one's spirit and everybody just chipped in and helped and moved what had to be moved and went on partyin!  Of course i think the Hairy Buffalo had allot to do with every one's happy mood!!  If you don't know what Hairy Buffalo is it is when everyone pours different alcohol and juices together in a cooler or clean garbage can and you had fruit (of course ours had been soaked in vodka and everclear for two days!!) mix well add ice and drink!!!!
