The Annual Rogers Cadotte Meet-up

Every year, for as long as I can remember back to when I was too young to remember, our close family friends, Ernie, Bonnie, Katie, and John Cadotte, have visited Traverse City for about six weeks in the summer. Ernie and dad were fraternity brothers at FIJI at Michigan State University and his family has a house on Old Mission Peninsula.

We meet up with them and the Wilsons each year – previously for putt-putt golf and pizza, bur more recently for poker, chip-dip, and beach-ball volleyball. We saw them on the Fourth of July this year, and had fun hanging around the campfire watching their neighbors light fireworks that rivals the big-boy ones down the bay.

Ernie has introduced beach-ball volleyball to us in the past couple years, which is far easier than actual volleyball. The beach ball ads an element of surprise to the game, as its flight is unpredictable. Plus, it brings in all ability levels and allows us to play in a smaller space.
