The Tobler Brothers' Weekend

...plus  Mom and Dad.  It's  been 5 years and 4 months since the brothers have been all  together at the same time.  We've tried but it's so hard to coordinate family schedules.  Then to fly a whole family is so expensive.  So the boys decided it was time to have a brothers' weekend...and invite their parents.    They were stalling out on what to do and where to go until they decided to just put Jeff in charge and then... agree or disagree... they committed to support the plan.  And it was great.

 A cabin near Beavers Bend State park in Oklahoma.

 Activities were pretty low-key...

visiting 

eating

 and lounging.

We did make it out of the cabin to check out the lake.

 

We saw a lot of fly fishing.  

 Worked our way through a mud bog.

 and hiked back.

 There was a lot a' beef in that there hot tub

 A few bets were made.

 ...especially when  we played Chad's game he made to teach his scouts about money/life.
We learned...rent, ride the bus and don't trust "hot stocks". 

 

We were all surprised at how much food we could "put away".

 

Sunday was cloudy and  rainy

but that didn't stop the fun.

Since our cabin was "off the grid". 
We had to hit McDonalds for our internet fix.

...more boiling the beef.

Monday it was  back to Jeff's.

 

There was  trampoline testing

 and the finale'...

... who's the heaviest Tobler
after a weekend of constant eating? 

Kyle volunteered to  organize our 2015 reunion.
 And it's been determined that all we really need is a  large couch and a fridge
and everyone will be happy.
