Corni Fest 2009 (Good Style)

Ahhhhhh yes, another year in beautiful Cornucopia WI. How we keep getting invited back, I will never know.
The ride there!
Unfortunately Laura couldn't make it this year, so we asked Mike to take her place.
We insisted he act out Laura-Like behavior, which included: giggling randomly and often, getting wasted after only two glasses of wine ( this proved to be the most difficult task), and talking at great length about all the health benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar, or as she calls it..... ACV.
Before the others arrived.
The Steak Pit. Or as Dale called it..... The Arm Pit.

Chris got the rowdiest the first night, and spend most of the morning (the few hours before more beer was purchased) with this look on his face. 
I was unable to live down last years splash into Siskiwit Lake (regardless of my years of safe watersporting), and was forced to wear a wet suit for our Lake Superior ride. I stayed in my boat this year, but sweated my ass off.
Mike on the other hand (who had never been in a kayak and swims like a puppy who has just been tossed into the water for the first time), was told he would be fine given his avid "oudoorsyness"-- and he was. 

The Queen of the Ball (meatball that is), Ms. watch your cocktail and your breakfast around me Maya.
Wet Suit-- Actually makes swimming in Lake Superior fun!

My alone time......... Not by choice.

Feeling a whole lot better with a few Two Hearteds in him.


uhhhhhhh, I am not familiar with this face, but I am sure it followed a nasty comment about pooping.
Cuzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
The Pontoon started up this year, and we had a beautiful Margarita Booooooooooooooooooze cruise.


Maya, a.k.a the Saucage.

I never followed that 30 min after eating rule,so 
Rose and swimming togther is probably fine too.

Trouble
Chris's "Go F yourself face"
More Trouble.

The Original trouble.


Juno
Tim's Lake Superior property, and the next camping destination for Mike and I.




Lost Creek, Lake Superior.



Thanks once again for the hospitality and copious amounts of food and booze. 
You were unable to scare Mike away, so next summer he will be asked to return-- but as himself  this time.
All in all, it was another great weekend with my family. They really know how to have a great time, and seriously gross each other out. 
I love you guys, and I can't wait until November.

2009--- A Thirty Onederful Year!!!!

I bit of a blogging hiatus- sorry. I will come back and include some of the end of 08 goodies, but I really have no interest in looking back. Last year, although transformative in many wonderful ways, was really stinkin hard!
2009 will hopefully be the year I reap the benefits of last years labor, and I hope you are all along for the ride, my life is about the people in it, and the stuff I want to make.
Happy New Year my peeps.
