Family Get Together

This Past Saturday the entire "VELD" family and then some met up in Bitely, Michigan for a nice family gathering and overnight camping. We had a great time meeting at Uncle David's cottage out in the area of wildlife were there are raccoons, bear, birds, frogs, mosquito's, and deer ticks to no end. We had a nice picnic of Hamburgers, and hot dogs, with enough other food to feed an army. There was baked beans, potato salad, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, fruit, and grilled veggies. There was enough desert to make you feel like you were living in sugar land. We played ladder golf a.k.a old geezer golf, and the kids played alot of games. Then there was a time of jumping in the creek and swimming with the frogs.... Although I didn't get in there. Finally night time was setting in and we all ordered some of the best Pizza I have ever ate from a Mom and Pop's Ice cream parlor called 4 corners. We finally called it a night and crawled into our tents for a few hours of shut eye. This was my wifes first time ever sleeping in a tent and sleeping on the ground. She finally can say she experienced a little bit of camping life. We got up the next morning and could honestly say it was nothing like sleeping in our queen size bed at home.....LOL We packed our gear and made our way back home. It was fun hanging out with family especially some of our family we don't see on a frequent basis. Thanks Uncle David for opening your home to the family for a very wonderful get together. Hopefully we can do it again soon.
