This past weekend we were up in the Eagle River area for our 9th Annual Taylor Weekend. Here are a few highlights:
-Mike Taylor shot off a water balloon with a slingshot and fell backwards into the lake. I'm pretty depressed I didn't actually see it happen, but I did see him in the lake before he got out so I could try to picture it.
-We played musical chairs. For real. This produced some of the most laughs of the weekend.
-Dan the Man got a beer bottle to the forehead during a heated game of Beersby. Not really a "highlight" but definitely a crazy moment! Along this line, we almost got knocked out by a giant branch that fell onto the picnic table we were sitting at. It hit Peggy on it's way down a little, but luckily there were no major injuries.
-Grandpa Vuolo's lecture on keeping the cabin clean was hilarious. I wish, wish, wish we had his impassioned speech recorded.
-Getting to know Chris' bride to be, Brenda, a little better. She was such an awesome addition to Taylor Weekend!
-Roasted cheese curds (thank you, Andy). This is something we get every year, but it's always a favorite and something I only eat this one weekend out of the year. If you've never put a cheese curd on a stick and roasted it marshmallow-style you are missing out.
All around it was a pleasant weekend with great friends. We mostly just relaxed, played games and had many conversations ranging from the Bible to whether Joe's friend is really a bitch or just really looks like one. Haha :)
Until next year!
