The Three Amigos
It may have been Thanksgiving weekend, a time for turkey dinner with all the trimmings, but at N.E.T. Campground in Vineland, it was Birthday Central.
Andrew MacNeil was joined by family and friends at his parents trailer, to celebrate his 25th birthday. Since it is also his dad Doug's 50th birthday on Oct. 19th and it was my 50th last weekend, it soon became a triple threat, as we commemorated all three big days at the same time.
Instead of birthday candles, everyone was givne a large sparkler which we lit in the bonfire and waved around while singing "Happy Birthday". When the long-lasting sparklers finally burned out, Andrew, Doug & I joined hands on a large knife as we cut a birthday cake which said "Happy Birthday Everyone" (that saves on icing, doesn't it?) LOL!
It was great to see Andrew's grandparents Bob, Liz and Drew's friends Rick, his partner in crime Steph, Rick's sister Tammy & her BF Lee, join Doug and Heather for the festivities. A BBQ feast cooked earlier by Drew & Rick, meant there was plenty of leftovers for us to enjoy later, when most of the guests went home. Good times, great friends...who could ask for more.
Four-legged Party Crashers
Also joining the fun at the campground were Doug & Heather's dogs Sassy & Jack. Sassy was pretty laid back at the party, while Jack was -well, Jack...always interested in what was going on and who or what was passing by the campsite.
