CHAN'S Annual Birthday Celebration - PARTY ON!

For the past 5 years, we've been involved with

Chandler's Birthday Celebration.

This year was no different

except we celebrated his 16th birthday!

He's lucky to have a summer birthday

so he and his buddies spent 4 days

at our cabin having

FUN, FUN, AND MORE FUN!!!

Anticipating a fun day on the lake!

Zach, Chan, Sage, Logan, and Nate

Chandler flexing his muscles

just before he did a back flip off the boat!

The 4-man tube was

definitely a hit!

When asked what their

favorite activity was,

it was definitely tubing!

We all took a nap while

Nate struggled to get the

wakeboard on!

Sage was so warn out,

he couldn't sit up or pull

his trunks up which were

slipping down. Nate had to help

pull them up so he wouldn't

be too indecent!

The boat was moving so the

picture is blurry, but this

is Chan wakeboarding in top form!

As soon as the water got choppy,

they were back on the tube!

Nate and Sage

waiting for a wild ride!

(couldn't be wild enough for these two)

~Chillin' at night

playing cards~

Had a fun Horseshoe Tournament.

~Nate with his great follow-through shot~

~Great form Sage~

Zach and Sage were on a team,

but ended up losing to Nate and Chan.

Nate had played a lot at his cabin

so he was a little more experienced!

However, Ron and I played the winners.

It was the Oldsters against the Young

Whippersnappers! And guess who won -

you guessed it "The Oldsters" Sorry

boys, but we had to humble Nate a little!

The trip wouldn't be complete without

a bonfire and making S'mores! Sage

definitely roasted the best marshmallows - browned

to perfection!

I have to say, these were a great

group of guys! They were all very

polite and respectful. They were quiet when

we asked them to settle down for the night.

They were very helpful and helped clean

up the cabin and thanked me after

every meal I made for them.

Some people might think we're nuts for

doing this every year, but I honestly

can say we enjoy it just as much as the boys!

SEE YA NEXT YEAR BOYS!!!
