My dad's brother Bruce and his two sons Chris & Steve all came to the hospital to visit my dad. All the Battjer boys in one place!

Props to the Uber driver who had to pick up our rowdy drunk asses several hours later....

Chris woke us up bright and early to go fishing. (Gove: IS THIS FOR FISHING?) Breakfast of champions. Steve and Chris representing for the "beefcake" side of the Battjer clan.

I did however manage a teeny tiny bit of ego recovery when I managed to hold my own in BEACH WASHERS, the poor man's version of horseshoes that we played every night at sunset...

Later that afternoon, Chris and Steve decided to go for a second session...

Nice long reading session after lunch.

On the way back from our hike, we met a friendly Australian and chatted a bit in the shade while we waited for the tide to go down...
chris b + steve b
We made our way over the rocks...

I handed the camera off and managed to sneak into one of the group shots.

...but we ended up hanging out drinking on the porch...
chris b + steve b
Haha.
chris b + steve b
Haha. Elyse, Bruce, Chris, Steve, me and Nalin!

I call this photo "Drunk Cousins."
chris b + steve b
Haha. Let's hear it for NEW FRIENDS!
chris b + steve b
That was the sensible choice. Chris, Steve and I decided to keep on drinking heavily and somehow ended up on the beach partying with the locals we'd met in the bar.

Another holiday dinner! Clockwise from left: My cousin Chris, mom, Amy, Brett, Amanda, my cousin Steve and Mer. (If I remember correctly, this is right before we all got into a big discussion about global warming - because my cousin Chris, who is a consultant for oil companies, doesn't believe it's real. Or that if it is, it's just part of a natural cycle and has nothing to do with humans burning pretty much the ENTIRE oil supply that took x years to develop in just the last 100-odd years. Hmmm....)

Look! It's the other Battjers! Chris, Bruce and Steve. After getting suited up and noshing for a bit (ok, and having a few warm up drinks) it was time to head over to the country club where the wedding ceremony was being held.
