Camping

Here are a few highlights from our adventurous long weekend...

-having not one, but TWO fabulous boats to ride around on (yay jm, yay shawn)
-having our hair ties fall out while we were tubing (even before we bailed!)
-having our very own chiropractor for the weekend (andrew, you deserve three snaps in zed formation--- good job!).
-eating the same thing every day for four days (oh, wait a minute, that's on the wrong list...)
-watching the boys fly off the tubes through the air at mach3 before crashing into each other (bwahaha)
-waking two out of three of our friend's tents surrounding us with our hilarious antics in the middle of the night. (okay, so maybe we were the only ones who thought we were funny, but oh well!)
-having our own private taxis out to the boats so that we didn't have to get wet (domo arigato, garcons)
-finding what appeared to be nikol's NB's fridge shelf, which someone thought would make a perfect grill over our fire. what a treasure that was
-the phenomenal unveiling of Queen Rolly and Queen Lucky (who, after careful consideration, may be re-christened after a different dalmatian, perhaps Dipstick or Whizzer...?) In any case, "I AM A QUEEN. FETCH ME SOME WATER!"

To balance out this practically perfect excursion, there were a few drawbacks:
-a frightening storm practically blowing us away and drenching everything the last night
-the mysterious disappearance of the Pirate cookies
-Jacob's birthday cake going for a swim
-extremely annoying neighbours (thanks to andrew for calming them down one night and raining on their party the next)
-casualties included: my flip flops, one water ski, and one boat mirror

All in all, we had a fantastic weekend. Thanks JM, Shawn, Anika, Jacob, Andrew, Lisa, Karen, Caleb, Donny, Dale, Shannon and Mike. I love you all, from the heart of my bottom.

    Hmmmm...perhaps NB had previously been camping in his fridge. Would not surprise me. =)

    Sounds like y'all had a great weekend!

    Don't forget that 12 of Neighbor Bob's cousins and brothers and sisters were, in fact, camping right by us!
