Oak Island 2008 Recap

We are home from the third annual Kogut/Sanne/Cummings/Beef Oak Island Vacation. This year was extra special because my Grandma spent the week with us, which was such a rare treat since we never see her living all the way in Seattle. Some of the highlights/lowlights of the week (and I will write in more details later).
  • Karoke - Duffers the local bar (only a golf cart away) has instituted Karoke every Tuesday and every other Saturday night. Pearson, stole the show with his Mick Jagger impersonation and singing of Beast of Burden. Matt, truly is an alum of UVA and JMU and sang Dixieland Delight on perfect note.
  • Susan and Eddie - A couple we met last year and ran into again, again, and again this time, mostly at Duffers. Awesome folks and can't wait to see them again next year! I think there was a bet going around about the "silver fox" [Susan] but can't recall exact details.
  • Wii Fit - Who says you can't get a work out playing video games. I can feel my core already stronger. The best babysitting tool for Luke, you simply turned it on and he just stood there and watched you bouncing soccer balls off your head.
  • Repeats - Pearson has yet to stop reminding me how much we all repeat ourselves constantly. Pearson has yet to stop reminding me how much we all repeat ourselves constantly. A habit I am trying to break.
  • Professional Photography - I decided it would be a "great" idea to do family photos on the beach, which was then met with resistence by some, a huge fight an hour before the photographer was going to show up, and then of course, a celebration of the family on the beach AND ultimately everyone very happy.
  • The Crisses - We now have the fortune of getting to see them at least once a year.

Took down last year's pics and posted this year. Yes, I got everyone in full body shots. Motivation to get in shape next year.
