How I Spent My Summer Vacation

I corrupted my dad and Debbie (and four other unphotographed people) to the ways of Wii.

These former league bowlers were completely consumed with Wii Bowling. Debbie played almost every day of vacation. And every time I tried to play by myself, my dad would chime in to "set me up", so he could play, too. I think I'm going to get them a Wii for Christmas.

I watched a couple of sunsets like this one.

Of course, I did what I do every time I go to the lake....read a couple of books.

I was away for nine full days. Most of these books came with me, and most of them came back read. I averaged about a book/book and a half per day. And if you think that pile is daunting, check out my "to read" pile:
