All in all, in my opinion, the reunion was a hit. The lodge and cabins at The State Game Lodge in Custer State Park, South Dakota was nice. We enjoyed a nice big grassy area next to the main cabin and had a nice little creek running through the property, although we ran into ticks! Jeff found the first one in Matthew's ear! Gross!!!
We only encountered one minor problem upon check-in and eventually received a spare room (for free) for their mistake. Later did we find out it was haunted! Too bad the ghost did not make an appearance! The Herron family had a nice, cozy cabin which was right next to the creek.
My hard work and the hard work of a handful of additional family members really made this a success! The adults played a single-elimination tournament of Family Feud which was fun! You'll see the winning team below sporting some funny glasses. The kids played several outdoor games and won prizes for their efforts.
The weather cooperated, the food was delicious, and the company great. The fun, laughter, jokes, and beer was freely flowing. What a fun bunch of people! I certainly enjoyed hanging out and visiting with all 61 people. Thanks to all those who helped me. I sure do appreciate the help and couldn't have done it without your organization.
