What a vacation!!
I went up on the Wednesday night with Slippy and we spent the next day driving about checking out the place, picked some blackberries, just your basic chillaxing. Friday morning he left and I spent the day.....wandering around with Dad and helping mom do some baking for the farmers market the next day. ( She bakes pies, cookies, tarts and other yummy baked goods to sell )
Saturday morning Budderfly, Seanbad and Arneil (need a nickname for him...tempted to use Booty *snicker* ) came down and I picked them up holding a "Jolie/Pitt/Maddox" sign because Budderfly thought it would be hard to find me. She got quite the kick out of it. We went back to the market and wandered about until it was done, helped the 'rents pack up and then it was off to get the essentials for the weekend. Beer and food. Of course we stopped at the bakery first *winks*
My parents left just as we got back and the rest of the afternoon was naptime and filling up the 'hot tub'. Belt Buddy mixed up my parents place with my friend Shedevil's parents place and thought we had a hot tub. There was a blow up swimming ring so we filled it up and put it in the corner of the patio. When I picked them up that evening I swung open the gate and said "Look, your hot tub awaits!". The look on her face was priceless!
After dinner ( or beforehand for the boys ) we started doing a fair bit of drinking and tons of sillyness ensued. I have pictures. We actually have a ton of pictures since there were 3 camera's going off all the time. Arneil was so done he was asking us to slap his face because he couldn't feel it and let Leah and Sean start to tie him up. I was knackered enough that I fell twice? and was throwing my ass in pictures....teaching them how to booty shake. The tag lines of the night was 'fuckers' said in a soft voice....I think Geoff started it....and "BOOTY BOOTY BOOTY BOOTY! from that Bubba Sparx song. That one came about when I was lying on the picnic table and I just kind of said it slowly like in a question "Booty, booty , booty, booty, rocking everywhere". Then Arneil laughed and did the BOOTY! BOOTY! BOOTY! BOOTY! like the song. Yes, I know...probably not funny to you guys, I guess they are kinda have to be there jokes.
Sunday morning I was woken up by my niece slapping my ass and doing flying elbows on top of me. I told her I'd throw up on her but it didn't seem to phase her. After dropping her off at work I went to lie back down and just got my head to the pillow when I hear my cat whining at my window. So I gave up trying to sleep, made some coffee and everyone seemed to get up after that. All of us were pretty weary so the only place we went to was Magic Lake for about an hour. We were going to go to another beach after stopping home and getting some food but we stopped at home and never left. Some had naps, Arneil and I did dishes. Then after another trip to the grocery store we made our last island supper.
I totally forgot about The Stand. It's at the ferry terminal and has AWESOME burgers. Well it's what I hear I haven't had one yet. Since a few of us seem to be on the hunt for the best burger lately I thought we could check it out except I forgot. I think I originally planned that for Monday when I thought a few of them were staying until that afternoon, except they left Sunday night. I was going to have one before I left but my niece wore my shirt and sweater to work so we had to stop there and get her to change so I didn't have enough time. Mom says you need to go about 45 mins before hand because they are always busy.
Anyways, they all left Sunday evening and I had a quiet night with my niece. After she convinced me to go swimming and it was fricken' freezing! It was wierd, the island is VERY quiet when your by yourself...I was probably only hours away from buying some cats before my mom came home *LOL*.
It's nice to be back in town though. When the face breaks out because of the water you know it's time to go! I just don't want to go back to work tommorrow
