Wordless Wednesday

Getting to spend the weekend with my Mom! 

Scary Island Meets the ER

It all started Friday evening.

Friday evening we converged at Fat Patty's (a local restaurant that has amazing food) and laid out our plans for Saturday: a day at the lake on a boat.

Once Saturday morning rolled around, we blew up our floats, grabbed the food and headed out onto our 14 person pontoon party boat for our 8 hour adventure. The morning started out nice, the weather was warm, the breeze was cool and the discussion of Teen Mom was had. After we decided that Farrah wasn't liked and Maci was the favorite. We ate lunch on the boat, did a little swimming (at least until the meniton of snakes) and did a little fishing.

And then the rain hit...

Once the thunder and lightening started, our fun day at the lake turned into, Scary Island Part 2 (since we experienced part 1 a few months ago). So our eight hour adventure turned into six but by this time everyone was either red from the sun or had to take a poop (basically just me)  so it was back to shore we went! It continued to rain off and on all night. 

This is where you could say the evening got a little interesting...

After getting the lake water off of us we celebrated Josh's belated Birthday. As LeAnna said, it was either the best or worst Birthday party she's ever attended. See what happened was Kristin and LeAnna had got him these really awesome shooting sparkler candles. Little did anyone know that they'd end up setting off the hotel fire alarm. Oops. 

Once we got the fire alarm situation under control we set back to watch a movie and enjoy a little champaign. Sounds pretty harmless right? Wrong! Long story short... Josh ended up slicing his finger open trying to get one of the corks out. He sliced it so deep that we ended up in the ER at midnight. 

The best part about the trip to the ER was the fact that there was all of us sitting in the lobby talking to each other via our iphones thru facebook status updates. Then we see this guy who will remain face less... 

This guy was a total creeper. First of all, the two signs (incase you can't read them) are for the bathroom and vending. They were side by side. This dude couldn't decide which one to do first. He stood there debating whether or not to get his snack or take a poop for at least a good 5 minutes. Ultimately he decided on the poop first but we're still not a 100% sure about whether he took a snack in with him. We also saw a Tom Selleck worthy stash but sadly no picture was taken of it. 

If you're wondering how Josh ended up....well he walked away with some parting gifts of stitches and the tools that were used to heal his wound. 

 

All in all, it was a fabulous weekend! Now it's back to my new found love of yoga and whispering, "Chaturanga" as I do the moves during class. 

A Day at the Lake

Be on the lookout for a product review soon! The wonderful people over at CSN have graciously offered to send me a product of my choice to review. CSN has a variety of stores and offer everything from a bathroom sink to children's toys. You need it, they have it.

Now, on to my weekend! My best buddy Kristin came into town for the weekend and that always means a great time is in store. Even though I had to work all weekend we were able to find time to hang out. I also had the pleasure of getting to hang out with some other lovely people.

On Saturday, 9 of us headed out to the lake, where we spent a few hours out on the boat and in the water. When we arrived at the marina, we noticed they have an area where you can feed fish and since the fish have realized people do this they swim around there continuously. There was so many fish it was unbelievable! Take a look...

It was sweltering hot and had I listened to Kristin, I wouldn't have brought my bathing suit but thanks to my judgement call before rushing out the door, I packed it. Thank goodness, because it was so hot out, we all ended up jumping into the water. 

Basically the girls got in the water and the guys fished. It also didn't dawn on us to bring floats for the water so we were stuck with life jackets to use. Next time, we'll remember! It was also on this trip, that I realized my friend Kristin could be Rosie O'Donnell's twin sister. You be the judge...

Honestly, the lake was exactly what I needed after days of hard work. It was fun in the sun with great friends and in a great setting. Doesn't the lake look so pretty with the sun setting...

Now it's back to the reality of Monday. Hope everyone's weekend was fantastic!
