The first tradition is to swim to the dock(pictured below)in the pitch dark of the night.
Below, they are excited for yet another year keeping with tradition(can you see the testosterone??)
The second tradition for the boyz is making a grueling, long trek to the island(1 mile from shore) you see below on the inflatable hot dog. Last year they made it about halfway there, which considering they had only one oar and found a cain while in the middle of the lake, I would say....eh pretty good.
This year they have 3 oars and a bat(don't ask)! So they are feeling quite confident that they will make it to the island in record time(less than 2 days)and without any casualties.
So here they are.....before the big trek all geared up and ready!!
uhhhh ohhhh.....where's the island? Unfortunately they fell prey to some vicious winds that caused them to get off track..... Well, take a look at the video for yourself:)
They did manage to get further this year.....and I'm thinkin next year they just might reach the island!!
They had a blast and love this adventure!
Here they are all pumped up for the big swim at night!

ReplyDeleteI'd like to bring attention to the fact that Caleb Eckhardt is wearing a PINK COWBOYS hat! Glad his true colors finally bled through! And, he totally deserved the hit on the head with the bat after the hot dog flipped! :)
