The whole gang..skit/family night
Family Night...
Craig, Mike, Courtney, Jimmy & Jim
This was our 10th Annual Family Fun Get Away. This year it took place at the Grand Traverse Resort in Traverse City. It is a beautiful hotel!! We felt a little bit like the Clampetts! We enjoyed a large conference room where we hung out a lot of the day! We arrived on New Years Eve Day...so that night we had Pizza together and then had a skit night.
Our assignment....we divided into 4 teams, young and old mixed. Each team was given 2 props and a 1/2 hour to come up with a skit. Oh the laughs! Ours was centered around a terrorists on a plane and realizing God was in control! Others were a dysfunctional family and the pizza delivery guy inviting the family to church...another was Crocodile Evangelism...and on the lamer side "that's all folks!" It was fun watching and seeing the generations working together!
Craig has also done a great job of making a movie every year (then we watch it the following year!) so we watched that and he had put together some slides of G-pa & G-ma Austin. Thanks Craig! What a fun time!!...and lots of laughs!
We relaxed and swam the rest of the time. We love games too..so we enjoyed them! A little Golf, a little Skip-Bo, a little Euchre, a little Rack-O and oh, the best for last....Imaginiff! What a fun game. We loved it! It's a great group game and not too competitive.
We were checking out on Saturday. Tyler left early that morning to drive over to Lake Ann to see some of his friends from this summer. All was good till he phoned Steve to say he had gone in the ditch...Ummmm! He was okay and so was the van..so that is what is important. Now, how to get it out....long story short...they flagged down an end loader and he pulled it out with ease! Nothing like eating a little humble pie!
Our trip home was loooong...it normally would take a little over 2 hours to get home...this trip...4 hours! It was slow going in the TC area....like 45 max speed! And cold cold cold.....4 degrees...burrrh!
We had a fun time and are looking forward to next year!
