Island 2010

As always, this year's Island trip was too great for words. Once again, I'll simply make a list of significant occurrences.

1. Our friends from Minnesota visited on Saturday and Sunday, after all our family had left. We had a great time fishing, and we caught quite a few decent small mouth. It was a 6-hour drive for them, but they stayed for less than 24 hours! Even so, we had a really fun time with them.

2. My dad's cousin Tommy was on the Island for a few days, and he brought his dogs Buster and Buddy. For the first time, there were 4 dogs on the Island at once! (Buster, Buddy, Ginger, and Sasha)

3. David and Rachel both passed their swim tests! I believe David is the youngest person to ever pass a swim test.

4. I beat my cousin Mike in ping-pong!

5. My Uncle Jody dumped me - fully clothed - unceremoniously into the lake! I do not recommend swimming in clothes. Not if you can avoid it, that is.

6. Uncle Dan, Danny, and Mike re-shingled the rec. house roof. The cousins were appointed the unenjoyable task of cleaning up the old shingles and nails.

7. We wrote a song about the Island to the tune of "California Girls" by Katy Perry. It's actually really good.

Here are some pictures. Enjoy!
