Labor Day Hike

Every labor day weekend for the past few years, Antonio goes on an overnight man-hike. It usually includes him, my dad and/or his dad, and perhaps some brothers or friends if they can make it. Ninja got to go for the first time last year and was very excited to go again. It was a little lean this year, just Antonio, my dad (G-Pop), and Ninja. Uncle Gee was supposed to go but had some last minute work obligations come up. They had fun, as always, but came back very dirty and VERY mosquito bitten. I didn't even recognize Ninja because his entire face had swollen up from all the bites (as seen below). Not to worry, he has gone back to his handsome self.

Ninja is taking a little rest on the hike in. He is required to carry his pack and all his crap in it (though I think Antonio takes pity on him and carries it for a little while).

Happy Camper, Daddy

Poor, swollen, Ninja
Dinner! Two fish!

A very, very cold lake. Antonio tests his manhood every year and jumps in for a little polar swim.

Fish on a stick, anyone?

I'll take one, please!

Looking a little too much like The Joker.
