In June Dale and Bonne hosted a weekend at their cottage on Forrest Lake for the brothers and of course Marilyn the favorite sister. Regulars at the cottage, Jason, Trish, Chloe and Gerrit joined the weekend activities. It was great to see Jeff who made the trip north from downstate. Dale and Bonnie are the perfect hosts to take on such an event always going on an above the call. The weather was outstanding adding to the picture perfect weekend.
Pictures to follow:

The Pontoon got plenty of water time.
Plenty of space for the four RVs
There was plenty of space for the four RVs and as many cars. Dale even had several 30 amp hook ups to add to the quality of life for those in the RVs.

Family time is always rewarding. Catching up one on one keeps the home fires burning. Of course there is always a bit of humor and may be some ribbing going on…
Jeff and Jason were the master chefs for the week end. Breakfast fare was outstanding!
What is a Snyder weekend without Uncle Ray’s B-Q Ribs
Outdoors sit down dinner…the food for the weekend was outstanding!

The campfire time is a fun time to share the past, present and future. As you can see Dale was well prepared with lots of firewood. May be we will be invited back next year…
