    Thank you! This isn't their first time hammocking, but it was their first official hang with the group from Hammock Forums. They have actually been hammocking since before the 5 year old was even born! We love it and wouldn't camp any other way!

    PS Their Dream Hammocks have been hung in their bedroom and their beds put in storage. Thanks Papa Smurf. The hot pink one was enjoyed so much that she cried when we had to get her out to run an errand.

    A HUGE thank you to Paul, Missy, Papa (and Mamma) Smurf, Gargoyle, and heck pretty much everyone that was there. Great group of folks, lots and lots and lots of food along with tons of enjoyment. The Saturday kayak down the Thornapple river is something I will be thinking about for a long time, pure bliss.

    We had a great time too, thanks to everyone who made it happen. Good to meet some new folks and catch up with old friends. The Michigan contingent is becoming a force to be reckoned with! Looking fwd to the winter hang.
    Good luck,

    I wish to say thank you to Missy, Paul, and Randy (Gargoyle) for all their effort in putting this together. Your work did not go unnoticed. Randy and his wife (Dream Hammocks)were wonderful explaining the differences in the hammocks displayed. Nice work, super comfortable. Got to try a DIY, WB XLC, and the ThunderBird. Now I would like an 11 footer . There was so much to do at this hang that there was never a dull moment. Parade of hammocks, kayaking, biking, hiking, raffles (really wanted the quilt ),bag toss, fire, awesome chili cook-out, bacon, eggs and coffee, the list goes on. Had fun meeting everyone whose names are hard to remember . Looking forward to next year
