Kara takes a break

....this is where it starts to get weird.
Yeah, like it wasn't weird already, huh?

Somehow Kara's boyfriend Scott disappears into a drunken haze of his own as Kara tries to go shot for shot with "professional drinker" Ed. Lofty goals, but to no avail. She was no match.

Somehow during this drunken shot contest, she decided (at the ripe old age of 23) that Ed (35) should DATE HER 50 something year old MOTHER!!!!

So, OUT comes the cell phone, and she CALLS her mother, and tells her that Ed is (are ya ready for this?) YUMMY!!!!

Robbie and Brian ESPECIALLY liked the YUMMY analogy, and used it the rest of the nite to EGG on the fun....

Ed tries to explain to Kara that he is CLOSER TO HER AGE than to her mom.

Ashley takes her only
SHOT of the evening

Group shot at the
end of the trip.

So, yeah, that might not have been the BEST choice of words. Cause, apparently, Kara....
     a) suddenly forgot that she had a boyfriend
     b) forgot that said boyfriend was drunk on the other side of the fire
     c) realized that yeah, Ed WAS closer to her age than her stinky mother's age
     d) um, yeah, did we mention that whole YUMMY thing?

TO his credit, single, and notoriously easy, Ed did not forget A or B - you know the whole BOYFRIEND thing?

Though, at one point, after much ribbing from Brian and Robbie, Ed threw up his hands in utter frustration and said, "Alright, I'm going in my tent! I'm gonna take off all my clothes. Whoever wants some, COME ON IN!!!!!"

During this. When we weren't egging it back on with YUMMY comments, and trying to keep Kara from pitching over into the fire, Ed had an epiphany, and turned to Brian to ask "when did I lose control of this situation? We were in control earlier dishing out the points in the wood gathering contest? When did I lose control of the puppet strings?"

Brian and Rob, of course, replied, "We don't know Ed. We still have them!!!!!"

So, eventually, later in the night, after we got everyone to bed, Brian and Ed are the last ones standing, hanging out watching the fire dwindle away, listening to the sounds of Scott and Kara continually zipping and unzipping their tent for some strange drunk reason, and watching what will go down in Canoe-a-palooza history as the "Drunken Lesbian Light Show" © as Nora and Ashley flipped on their flashlights IN their tent, and spent a lot of time making a silhouette show and giggling.

Ah, the sounds of nature, the roasting fire, tents zipping and unzipping, and lesbians giggling in the night.....it just doesn't get better than that.....

Good Night Ed. Good Night Brian.
Good night Ooh Laa Laa Island.

Another successful Canoe Trip.

See you on the river next year!

The Wood Gathering Contest that got OUT OF CONTROL
Well, we made camp WAY too early. And started the fire WAY to early. Thus, we burned up our wood WAY too early. Somehow....Brian and Ed appealed to Scott and Kara's COMPETITIVE natures, and sent them on wood gathering missions by awarding POINTS for each piece brought, and extra points for larger pieces......
Scott gets frustrated with the SHOVEL he was using to attempt sawing thru a large log....he was in the lead though...	....until Kara showed up with THIS monster	Kara tries to show off her "manliness" (and earn some extra points), by snapping this log in half. Nora tries to talk her down.	Then, still behind in the POINTS, Kara runs to the far side of the island and tries to rip down a frickin TREE.....
So, we're thinking that Kara's best bud, Ashley, wanders down to the far side of the island to talk her down, and tell her to give up the stupid "points contest" and just let Scott win, but.....NO............. Suddenly Ashley, comes running down the island with Kara's pants in her hands. Kara chasing behind her in her bright yellow panties. As she comes strutting thru the campsite, she does an about face, and heads to her tent.....where we see		Kara in the now infamous OOH LAA LAA panties.
OOH LAH LAH in bright red letters across her ass........ In honor of the moment, we named our sandbar......OOH LAH LAH Island.
