My fixation has been fixed.

To start off, Bear Lake was awesome. Please be jealous, because it was that incredible. But there will be more of that later. Right now there is a more important issue at hand.

Pizza.

I think we've all established how much I'm in love with the stuff. While in Bear Lake, I was still craving it. Since I'm bossy and I tell everyone what to do, we all went out to get some pizza at Bear Lake Pizza.

What size would feed 6 hungry vacationers?...Medium? Too small. Large? Still too small. What's bigger than large, you ask?

The one and only 28" circle of heaven, Old Ephraim.

This legendary creation was named after a 10 foot bear, but that story is way too long and boring to write about.
This pizza is so big, that if your party succeeds in eating the whole thing, you get your picture on the wall!! (Oh my goodness, that is freaking incredible. Who wouldn't want their picture on the wall? We were actually trying to talk them into giving us cash if we ate the entire pizza, but they wouldn't have it.)


We were extremely confident as we strode up to the counter and put in our order for Old Ephraim. We merrily chuckled at how simple it would be for us, with our monstrous appetites, to finish this 28" challenge.
The mood quickly changed as the pizza, so large that it was being supported by 3 Bear Lake Pizza employees, was brought out to our table. Our confidence was shattered. Each piece was twice the size of my head. There was no way we could successfully devour it and get our picture on the wall. .. .. .. but, admitting defeat, we ate it, anyway.

Each of us could only handle 1, maybe 2, pieces before our guts were nearly bursting and our arteries clogging.

After we felt satiated, we boxed up the remainder of Old Ephraim and took it back to camp to show the others- and it was a nice joke for the rest of the weekend. (One of our guy friends wanted us to call him "Old Ephraim" for the remainder of the trip- I'll let you figure out why.)

Oh- and I'd give the pizza a 2 or 3. It really sucked. I guess they work so hard at making such a large pizza, they forget that they need to make it taste good.

If you didn't notice, the pictures are really crappy quality- my camera is still broken, so these were taken with my phone. I will post the lake pictures, later, when I get/steal them from my friends who were there with fully-functional cameras.

Look how cute she is in her princess swimsuit.

Notice how EMPTY the lake is?? And it was so warm. It was awesome. I'm telling you, you should be jealous.
