Blast to the Past

After gallivanting in Winthrop for a better part of the weekend, we spent the last day of our glorious three day weekend up at Josh's parents cabin on Lake Roesiger in the much more local Monroe, WA. Although it was raining almost all day we had a blast enjoying the company of some of our favorite people: the Izzards and the Schweens.

We decided to be a little unconventional in some of our choices for conventional fun, i.e. board games and movies. Instead of playing something new and exciting like Settlers of Catan, Apples to Apples or Cranium, we played Scattergories. About two rounds into this delightful game we all realized how much brain power this game requires but how incredibly fun it is. We also decided to revisit our childhood and watch Free Willy (the original) on VHS. I don't even remember the last time I watched a VHS. We experienced things like having to wait for the tape to rewind, the pause button only pausing for so long till the machine gives up and lets the movie go on, and the amazing computer graphics of the 90s. All in all it was an awesome day soaking up good friendship, entirely too much food, and laughing at what used to be.







Ben and Josh braved the cool waters of the lake during the one sun break of the day.
