July 2006 Reunion at Cedar Creek Lodge in OK
This year's reunion was held July 7-9th of 2006 at our favorite lake lodge #1, "where it all began". The lake was even better this year than we remembered it being. . . . the lake was high, the water clear and refreshing, the weather was perfect with a slight breeze for outdoor visiting and sports. There was fishing from the barge, diving off the pier, paddle boating and canoing and swimming and volleyball, and now our latest and newest activitiy for the truly brave, rope-swinging. Yes, rope-swinging. Lodge 1 now has a sencond private lake on the other side of the driveway which has a launching platform for a rope-swing from which you can jump into the middle of the lake. This year's lifeguard duties were handled by none other than Chewey Smiley. Indoor activities involved eating, sleeping, (ahem) restoom facilities, hat decorating and a "Ladies Afternoon Tea". We are now taking suggestions for next years activities so now is your chance to let your ideas and wishes be known. . . . We hope you enjoy these photographed memories of this year's reunion and help us create new ones next year.
