Return to Wisconsin

16 people. 8 adults. 8 kids. 1 house.

It sounds like a bad reality TV show, but it actually was how I spent my summer vacation in scenic Eagle River, Wisconsin.

Remarkably, there were only two injuries: a burst appendix and a hand slammed in a car door. Neither fate befell me or my lovely bride. Moving on.

Two things I find remarkable about the state:

• After spending almost 2 years in California, I can't believe there's still a place in this country where smoking is allowed in restaurants.

• In California, I'm a fat ass. In Wisconsin, I'm a chiseled Adonis.

Rather than bore you to tears with a bunch of words, here are some photos:

Ah Wisconin. It looks lovely. Was the Cap'n well-behaved?

debz, when did you start shoving children overboard?

The young lady dispensing of a toddler is not my lovely bride. It is my little sister Diane, who loves her children too much to let one actually fall over the side, but not so much that she isn't willing to pretend he did.

Dude, my bad.

No problem. I can see how the mistake was made. After all, Debz is the toddler-tossing type.
