First, I'd like to thank EVERYONE who joined us this weekend. What a great joy it has been spending time with you all. Thank you all so much! Okay, so I finally picked up a camera when we got to Green Mountain. These were all shot with the D200 and 105VR. Patrick "Let's get this hike started!" Patrick,Faye (Herb's lovely wife), Chris Knight and Ryan Joe (J.Alan) "Hey, what's so funny?!" Sommer "Sorry Joe, you missed the punch line!" Leigh (My self portrait) Thanks again, everyone! It was so much fun spending the weekend with you all!
Leigh, I am sorry that I missed the hike, but it looked like you had a good bunch. After lunch the folks that went to the dam were a buch of tired puppies!
Mason, I understand completely. That was one of the main reasons we didn't go to the Dam...I knew I'd be wiped out BEFORE lunch! LOL Hey, I just want to thank you for all your help this weekend. It was great of you to act as a chauffer/host/etc. I know that you helped make everyone's weekend so much nicer. I can't wait to see you and Allison again. BTW, I'm going to hold you to that promise of taking Patrick fishing!:smile:
Again, nice to see this group of great people. Mason, if I come next year, I will go fishing with you and your dad.
Thanks Frank. I usually try to take a few pics at least once a week. This weekend though, I felt it was more important to tend to everyone's needs rather than take some mediocre shots.:wink: Seriously, I had so much fun this weekend I hope everyone else had as great a time! Thanks to you as well Frank for organizing the Saturday morning and Sunday morning shoots. I think everyone really enjoyed both days!:smile:
You don't have to thank me, it was my pleasure. You and Patrick are the ones who did all of the work! I will get Patrick out on the water soon.
Oddly enough, he doesn't fish. He lives on the lake but to my knowledge he has never caught a fish! However I keep my boat in his boat lift and he does ride with me quite a bit.
That would be great, Dave. Maybe next year it won't have to be the whirlwind trip! Thanks Dianne! I'm counting on you to be here next year!
Thanks, Wade. I wish I could have gone on the hike with everyone, but just didn't feel it would be the wise thing for me to do (being 6.5 months pregnant!!!). I saw that gazing ball and figured..."Hey, I'm already fairly round at this point, why not go for it!".
No worries, Rex. I was glad to hear you all got a little rest. At least you got to join us at the Safari Park and at dinner!
Next year, Dave! You and DaveD will definitely have to plan on staying longer...maybe even bring your wives along next time! Thanks for making the kamikazee trip down. It wouldn't have been the same without you!
