Missing family member....

Does anyone have a pic of Crissandra? She did show up at the Perro camp on the 4th....after most of you were deep in slumber....at 10:30 PM!

Fourth of July, pt 3, the kids!

Since about half my pictures are of the kids running around and doing all the things we used to do before we got so old, I thought they deserved their own post. Here are some of my faves!
Jordan, Alexander and Christian out on the pattleboat, as you can see toot's little legs weren't much help
Gram and Hannah relaxing and enjoying the antics on the deck
Erik and toot practicing their spidey powers, if I knew how I would put the video of Christian jumping around singing spiderman in his spiderman underwear, too cute.
He didn't want to sit in the big part of the stroller, that's for Hannah, so he took the bottom bunk
Alexander and Jordan during our own version of the boat parade

Fourth of July, pt 2, Beno's birthday!

So our last night there was Beno's birthday! Woohoo happy birthday. His birthday cake was expertly done by our own hands, and by that I mean not by me! As Megan, Jess and Nick are showing us, it tasted so good they couldn't even wait to cut it. On a more personal note, while I don't know how good it was by mouth, it was quite tasty through my nose. Which is how my sweet, sweet brother helped me taste it.
In our effort to collect those on the other side of the lake, we managed to give Beno an extra special birthday present. We had a pirate mission where we flipped all the deck furniture and stole all his booze, about 12 hours before his mom and sister came to visit. Sorry! Like gramp said though, if we write our name on it it belongs to us!

Fourth of July, pt 1

Okay folks, here is what's happening. I took something like 200 pictures, so we are going to have a couple installments since I am only allowed to post 5 pictures at a time.
To the left you can see that the water volleyball net was put back up and was one of my favorite parts of the whole week. Comedy abounded with drink breaks and points alike being called by the judges, Matt and Billy, who were often guessing as they were paying very little attention. With something like 20 substitutions through out the game the good guys, aka my team, lost 2 games to 1.

Maria, Charlie and Kathleen rocking out on the boat after our failed attempt to restart the evening boat parade. They don't seem too upset!!










On saturday, we decided we wanted to take a little trip out to the rock island and jump off. So a small crew of us, the Dorf kids, Uncle Kev, Aunt Natalie and Tash, took the beast out. Little Kev and Jess followed us in the paddleboat. In a stealth mode operation to win the race to the rock, that Kev and Jess didn't know we were having, Aunt Natalie took the most important job--keeping our rowers hydrated without making them put down the paddle, while Meg and Tash took turns paddling in the front. This show of teamwork worked out and we won the race, and rewarded ourselves with a relaxing swim in the cove.



















Of course, my co-founder, co-president, and most consistant participant in the martini and cigar club at our annual meeting. This picture makes me thirsty :)



Stay tuned, part 2 tomorrow!
