The Reason for my blog - the world's GREATEST Grandchilren!!!
Uncle Clarence's camper sprung a leak - dad to the rescue with a tarp and rope.
A new game called, "Kube" that Rick brought. They say it's similar to pool but I had a hard time following it. The guys had a good time playing it though. Look at Rick's shirt - it was HOT!!
Chase riding the horse - he's a real cowboy!!!
Chase and Grampa playing foosball in the lower level of the Lodge.
The Ugly Shirt Contest - Uncle Jerry won because the "lady from the restaraunt" that juged didn't like green. I think Chase should have won - his was really ugly!!
The Gorter Reunion is over for another four years and other than a bit of rain, mud, heat and humiity, I think everyone had a good time. Grandma said she didn't want to appear biased but she thought it was the best reunion yet. I'm sure the reason is that everyone kinda "stuck around" the lodge for the most part. They weren't off swimming, boating or doing their own thing. I think she had a chance to "visit" with all or almost all of the nieces and nephews who were there. She brought along a book of pictures she's been working on all summer and it was a huge hit with everyone.
Here are a few pictures of the weekend:

Way to go, Chase!!
I don't have any pictures of the ladies because I was in it. The lady actually picked my shirt and hat but I told I couldn't win because I was "in charge" of the contest so she picked Aunt Jen. I think she picked her because Aunt Jen had a funny duck hat on.
It was a good contest and I think they should have a "unusual hat" contest next year BUT I'm not in charge so I'll let the newcomers do it.
John Smidstra voluntered his family - I'm not sure his wife or sister were as excited as he was but he says he loves family get-togethers and thinks they're important to continue. Jim from Texas said he would be happy to host it in February in Texas if anyone would come. I told him to go for it.
That's it for this week. Have a super week.

Goals for this week:
1. Chase's quilt
The reunion looked like it was a lot of fun. You might want to mention to your followers that if they click on the picture they it will enlarge them. I'm going to have to agree with Uncle Jerry - his shirt was not the ugliest. I would of voted for the pineapple one although Chase's looked pretty ugly too. I'm glad you had a good time and I'm sure everyone really appreciated all the work you put into it.
