Vegter Cousins at the Summer Cabin
Haugen Lake


As the cousins grew up in the 1990's, the cabin at Haugen Lake was a natural vacation spot. Small cabin. 480 sf. Large families. Deans, Hopkins, Dekkers, Peters. 18 cousins. 8 aunts and uncles. 2 grandparents. And lots of fun.

Uncle Harry Visits
Uncle Harry and Aunt Teresa lived on Bass Lake about 30 miles south of our cabin. As Uncle Harry got out of his car, Caleb (age 3) was excited to tell him about his Grandpa Vegter's big catch (actually, about a 39" Northern). When Uncle Harry asked Caleb, "How big?" Caleb demonstrated with his hands showing about 8". Uncle Harry never let Dad forget about his "big catch."
