Iowa Trip
Well, this is really late, but better late than never.
We were late leaving because we lost Tokko. My mom let him out and then we couldn't find him. Turns out 2 native kids picked him up and took him home THREE BLOCKS AWAY. Luckily, I ran into them as they were talking about him and got him back.
Picked up Mike at the Bus station and headed south to pick up Jenna in Fargo(She was there with her friends shopping). Called Holly as my parents were getting her, apparently while she was really drunk, but who knows. We drove all night and got there around 7:30.
Instead of sleeping I decided to stay up and watch episodes of Trailer Park boys that I'd already seen; Go me. I really should have taken a que from the rest of family and taken a nap but you know me, always powering through.
Next up was some much deserved drinking on the Northern Iowa River while we floated down it in tubes. Jenna, Katelyn, Mike; My cousins Alex, Clark, and Chris; and Clark's friends Bob, Megan and Tice were the group I was going with. Before we got there, we needed to get supplies, so Mike and I(being the only 21 year olds) went in and bought 7 18 packs of cheap American beer. put that together with the 24 in the trunk and we had 150 beers for 10 people(8 seeing as though Jenna and Katelyn weren't drinking). Lots of Mennos on the river(many in their dresses), Drunks hitting on my sisters and Bob got lost and we had to wait for him(how do you get lost on a straight river?). I fell asleep(didn't pass out) once we got back to the campsite and got a wicked Aaron tan (AKA a Burn) because of it; fun times. We left that campground and drove down to McIntyre for driving in a more secluded spot. Tice tried to call out more than 20 girls but none were having it. Apparently we went to a few parties, but with me passed out in the back of the car, I really don't have any stories from it. What I do remember is lots of fireworks, eating half cooked hotdogs off of dirty sticks and playing chicken on a swinging bridge.
Sunday I woke up at 6:30 in the backseat of Chris' car with my hoodie on my knees shivering my ass off. We left the park at 20 after 8 because we wanted to make sure that we got back after Sandi and Jim(Alex and Clark's parents) left for Church; I wasn't having any of the almighty after the previous night. We had a nap and then headed to Rochester for shopping. I went up with Al, Clark and Mike while Sandi got saddled with my mom and sisters. If anybody knows my sisters, they know that they can shop for ever. Our shopping consisted of Best Buy and the food court; That's my idea of fun.
On the way home we stopped in at the Pleasure Palace, a sex superstore. There we spent about a half hour laughing at the midget porn and looking at the $3000 S & M machine. We had one of the workers show us how to work it; pretty funny.
Monday we spent most of it watching TV and getting ready to go. We left around 5 and went to a Casino in Hinkley, Minnesota where I lost 80 bucks, which was pretty much all the cash I had.
Pretty much a good weekend, except I didn't get any legendary stories. I guess I'll have to try harder next time.
