4th of July Fun

It started out as a normal day, with Hank Miller and gang (Bob Frieze, Allen Hertz and Heather Hertz) at their spot in the pool/Palapa.

With more than 60 people hanging out in the Palapa all day, we played plenty of horseshoes, darts, and bacchi. Bertha tells me she beat Robert for the first time!

Staff quit work early to join in the fun and games, starting with tug o' war and the bike/kayak race.

The first round lasted only seconds as members beat the staff in the woman's division. The second was a closer match, but staff was victorious against the members in the men's division. (although, staff may have had a little extra help in the end... just maybe)

Last was the kids division.Pool volleyball got pretty competitive.

Staff joined in the pool volleyball as well.

Flaco, Ike, and Robertino from our Grounds department.

Mike & Janie Simms and their family were showing their patriotism.

Banda Cubana provided the entertainment for the evening.

On the menu was venison, gibnut, pork ribs and steaks, and chicken. It was delicious as always. The Simms and Bulkley families below.

Casey & Gloria Franklin and kids, Gill Kosina, A.G. & Kay Robertson.

Robert Cunningham & Bertha, Mellie and her sister.Some of the kids had glow bracelets. One of them hung from Kevin's ear most of the night.

And don't ask me what Antonio (Boat Captain) has got going on here.

Captain Joe (Tour Guide) and Terrance (Maintenance).

A combination of good music, good company, and undoubtedly, good drinks, inevitably led to some dancing. Gill joined right in.

As did the Simms.

Guests, Dale & Leslie Bulkley.

Eric & Karen Walker family.We concluded a great Forth of July with a spectacular firework show on the dock.

Happy Independence Day!
