Ok, with the wedding and family reunion going on, I was only around for a couple of days in the past couple of weeks. And with putting together websites for both events, that has taken up my 'slacking time' at work. (Just kidding Wade...but not really).
So the Kuder reunion went great! We got up there Tuesday afternoon and took it easy until Thursday when most others arrived. We had a great bonfire gathering at my parents place that night! It was a great way to get things started (Although Nick Watson was a little slow the next morning...)
Friday I decided to do the golfing. Bad idea. Easily the worst round of golf I've played maybe ever. I had a few so-so holes, then it all fell apart. Let's just say I had to take a 10 on 3 holes...and we only played 9. I only had 2 bloody mary's the whole time, so I can't blame it on that. Maybe I just wasn't that motivated to play? Or maybe I should just admit that I suck at golf. If I remember correctly, Tom Kuder won the golf outing.
Tenielle and Ava went miniature golfing. I'm waiting to get a picture of it, as Tenielle carried Ava around on her back all morning in a fancy carrier thing that we had never used before. Sounds like it worked great! I believe Hunter won the Miniature Golfing contest.
Other friday morning events included birding/hiking, which had a decent size group attending. SOunds like the birding was slow, but I think they all had a good time. Mike took a few of the Cali folks fishing! Judging from the pictures and stories, they didn't have a TON of luck. But they didn't get skunked. Jesse failed to land a Bass on Ox somehow...Set the hook! Just kidding Jesse :) He did manage to catch a few tiny little northerns...which Ox is full of.
Friday for lunch we had an awesome Walley fish fry! Everything was great! We spend the rest of the afternoon hanging out on Ox with the JetSki and boats...was a good time and the weather turned out to be pretty nice. Friday's dinner was at the campground...grilled salmon and bbq ribs...excellent again! Hung out at the bonfire at Manhattan Beach for a bit that night.
Saturday was our day on the chain. We had a couple of really nice 25' pontoon's to tool us around, and marty brought his boat along for those who wanted to kneeboard, wakeboard, etc. Ate lunch on an island in Island Lake...it was a great spot. (Might have been private but oh well). Had the big dinner at Manhattan Beach that night which was awesome. Spent the night at the Ox Tavern with a bunch of the cousins. Always a good time.
Sunday brunch was the end of it! Food was great, but we were all concerned about Grandpa who had to go to the hospital Saturday night. He's back in town at North Memorial today, and hopefully they can get feeling better. Keep him in your prayers!

Sweet! Twice in a row to be the first to respond. My best personal record. I think Steven forgot to mention that I beat him by one stroke in golf-6 months pregnant and I rarely play. Good times!
I have to agree on Justin's comments:
1) Ava absolutely is the cutest thing ever!!
2) Steven does suck at golf.
Make it 3...Ava is the cutest thing ever...
And Steve sucks terribly at golf.
First off, B, III? What kind of structure is that? And then Karen somehow ties III to 1, and 2 to nothing? I have a bunch of idiots reading this page. But to respond:
First off : You were on your honeymoon. And my family doesn't like you.
B : No comment.
III : Yes, she is. And everyone says she looks like me...so essentially you are also saying that 'I' am the cutest thing ever, which of course is a waste of time pointing out since everyone already knew that.
And to add:
Four : Yes, cheese is good.
E) I really do suck at golf.
And karen wins a tasty bottled water for responding first. Or she can wait a couple months and collect a glass of wine or beer or cocktail.
2394 : Ms. Pac Man is fun.
