Knapp Reunion

This past weekend was another Knapp House Reunion (minus 2 couples). During Keri's junior year at Calvin College, she lived with 5 other girls in a house out in the country. Their times in the house including rusty water, collapsed sewage pipes, mushrooms growing behind the toilet, Tae Bo (you know you loved it Jenni!), "The Bachelorette", and house dinners formed lasting friendships! All of them are now married and try to get together at least 1 time per year. In November, everyone was able to make it to St. Louis where all 12 of us fit into our 2 bedroom apt. and we played "4 on a couch" until 3 in the morning.

We all camped in Julie and Derek's backyard in Holland, MI. (We missed you Ruth/John and Alicia/JP!). On Saturday, we got to take Derek's Grandpa's boat and sea doo out on Lake Michigan. It was really cold, but fun! It rained the rest of the time, but we were stubborn about having our campfire to roast tonka pies, smores, and a new camping dessert for us: elephant tails. For this tasty treat, you wrap a crescent roll around a dowel and roast it. Then you roll it in butter and cinnamon sugar and go into a sugar coma. Just kidding, they were amazing! We played games both nights including Taboo, Catch Phrase, and Scum. Good times had by all! Finding true "lifers" (life-long friends) that you can completely be yourself with is hard, and Keri is incredibly blessed to have these girls as a part of her life (we both really enjoy their husbands too)!
