: Midwest meet 'n greet
: GR8DAME August 21, 2006, 04:36:52 PM
Yep, it was a blast getting to meet, and get together with old freinds and meet some new ones. Just a couple qiuck remarks before I get to the pictures:
Special thanks to Nicole, Julie and Megan for working out all the details and setting it all up.
OT2 (Tina) It was great meeting you, we really need to get together for a ride in the near future.
Lins and Darrell, many thanks for all your help, and the fantastic meal Saturday night. You and your beautiful girls have an open invitation to our campfire any time.
April and Brad, seldom does anyone meet all your expectations much less surpass them. You are fantastic people and it was great being canvas neighbors, if only for a little while.
Holly, picking you up at the gas station was a surprise, and a delight! Merlin has used his drool towel and sends a big sloppy thank you!
Kristie and Gaby, Thanks so much for the towels, they are a wonderful keepsake of a very special weekend. I am so glad you could come up for the day with all of us.
Liz, the secret santa plan was inspired, the boys so enjoyed the bully sticks that Megan gave them! You had a long hard journey to come and it was great to meet you and Jaimie and the boys. (Casey is still trying to convince me to go on an atticus/cyprus kidnap run!)
Megan you are a dream of a house guest. I hope you had a good time.
K, That's all the comments except for the photos. Dale has a well known butt fetish, so no offense to anyone pictured, none is intended.

It was our pleasure. And you are right bout all the puppers getting along, they all did wonderfully. The looks on the faces of our fellow campers as they passed a single campsite with 13 dogs and almost that many people made it all worthwhile, LOL.

I was wondering how busy the dog beach normally is.  I bet seeing all those big paws was a sight!  Not to mention everyone at the campsite! 

Stella, the photos are great!  And like I told Liz, I am totally jealous!  I can't wait to become part of the Mid-Western group!

We became a tourist site that's for sure. Every kid in the campground had to come see and pet our dogs more then once. The rangers also stopped by to pet the dogs. We also had a guy say that our dogs were very well behaved and told all his co-workers not to worry about our site. That made us so very proud!!!

The beach wasn't too crowded, was it? 
we got a few stares.  :)
The camp site was funny.  We were all parked on the corner lot along the first road.  Every time someone walked by there was a chorus of barking.  :)  That was funny.  And this one DNR lady kept driving by and stopping to pet all the puppies.
