Oct. 3-5, 2014 at MBSP

What fun being at beautiful Montgomery Bell State Park!
Great conversations, yummy food, & kids play together.
Some of us survived an unexpectedly LONG hike & tumbled out of canoe into the lake!
We survived the cold October weather, too!

We did it this year before we left! YAY!
Sadly it was after Yvonne & family headed home!
Mike, send it to everyone please. : )
