DAY NUMBER 7

08.22.2008

Blaine and John in front of the infamous stack-o-cement footballs in front of Badger stadium.

Early to rise  (well not too early)  and John takes us on a tour of Madison.

First stop is  Micky's Diner near the campus.

Had to have some yanks with the omelettes.

Blaine, are you sure you want to eat that Rueben omelette?

Meanwhile, Tom said a little prayer over the yanks.

He wasn't blessing his food but rather praying that he didn't have to sit with the

 corn beef, sauerkraut and thousand island dressing omlette eating Blaine in the car for very long.

Old Hippies never die, the bike seats just get smaller apparently.

Next, John prepares for some fun water activities and sight seeing.

Perhaps somebody should have been reading signs rather than spending time on the cell phone?

Well, what can we say......the water police arrived with grappling hooks ready to board.

After a complete search and warnings issued, John convinced them that he was innocent by telling the truth.

If you believe that, let me interest you in some........

We took this picture earlier in the trip....  Just in case....

Nuff said!

Frank Lloyd Wright designed building in the foreground on Lake Monona and the State Capitol just behind it.

Even with the water coming over the bow.

Captain Tom had time to get his daily Kalifornia Llama report.

Lirica is ready for her first shampoo and shear!

Meawhile John confrims his 2:00 PM tee time.

Blaine had his usual issues as no one told him it was bring-your-phone-to-the-lake day.

Needless to say he had no one to talk to the whole trip.  :-(

Isn't that the WFWP (world famous wildlife photographer)?

Maybe we should pick him up............

Blaine objected to it but John wouldn't sustain.

Wildlife on the lake as photographed by WFWP T. T. Hansen.

Blaine attempts his own wildlife photo....

Is that it Tom?

"No!"

Is that it?

"Only if you plan on making a muskrat coat."

Well, is that it?

"You are getting closer..."

"You need to work on the "life" part of wildlife."

John makes his mark....

The lovely bride to be Kim, shows her one hand behind the back technique.

Then it was time to watch the Packers pour out a little whoop a** on KayZ Broncos.
