We got started a little late on the grilling, but once we got it going and with a little late inning relief by Mark we were flipping burgers and brats non stop. Had about 20+ people show throughout the day
.

The Hay Ride got off without any problem and we eventually got the Badminton court set up after much technical analysis and contemplation. [In  other words we eventually had to read the instructions.] After the first round of chowing down some loaded up and visited the nature center and Military Museum. On the spur of the moment, after it looked like we weren’t going to have anyone do the horseback riding, several saddled up and road the saddle trail. When they got back some took a hike around the lake and then we finished up with some more conversation, food, badminton and ‘Pit”.

I stated three goals for the picnic:

Everybody comes! Thought there would be more, but we did have plenty of new faces.

Everybody relaxes and has fun!!  The early birds helped set up and the late sleepers helped tear down…don’t think anyone pulled double duty

Everybody eats, and eats, and eats!!! Pretty sure we hit a homerun on this one. Never stopped eating, and never ran out of food.

While some arrived late and some left early all and all we were there from about 11am to 8:45pm.

Prior to 2009 this event occurred at Thanksgiving, but as the numbers grew my apartment got to small and eventual we had to stop doing it in anticipation of me getting a bigger place which never happened. So last year we moved it to an outdoor get together centered around the July 4th Weekend.
