Our big vacation last week was at our family’s cabin near Tomahawk.  We went up prepared for a week of outdoor fun and immediately got rained on for two days.  Then Tyler showed up, with all his fancy computery sort of equipment. Of course in my family having fancy computery sort of equipment means that he brought a laptop with movies on it that could access the internet.

We are not hard to impress.

The first night he was there he pulls out his laptop and we think about watching a movie, pretty soon we are all grouped around him on the couch like a bunch of crazy monkeys. It was kind of pathetic, until this happened.

Yup, that’s my family hanging out in the garage watching a movie in their rain jackets.

Points of interest:

-The huddled together look is from a combination of having not much room between the boats and the fact that nobody could hear the laptop speakers over the rain.

-Just over their heads you can see Johns gigantic grill/smoker he got for Christmas, dinner was cooking and I think that’s why everything got set up in the garage. There is a very nice “shack” with crazy things like couches, coffee tables for your beer cans, and windows to quite the noise of the storm, but clearly that’s missing half the fun…

-John grilled/smoked us dinner everyday it was delicious! I’m having trouble adjusting to regular life, regular food, and being the regular cook!

Thankfully the sun came out the next day after Tyler went home and we went back to our normal movie-less existence.

Apparently a major hazard of having no TV’s in the family is that you’ll put up with all sorts of indignities just to watch a movie and cook dinner at the same time.
