Where's the champoo
Had an awesome weekend oh yeah! My family (Me, mom, dad, Annie, K.C. and his girlfriend) went on our end of the summer trip, this year we went rafting down the illinois river. i was actually kinda sceptic about it cuz i wasn't sure if i would really have that much fun. We stayed at a place called diamond head resort. Well when we first got there (around 8:00) the people in the room next to us were really friendly they ran up and hugged my mom and then a little later they offered us tacos and of course we're kids and were very hungry and i was so not up for eating another hand made sandwich so we took em. Dad was out on the porch smoking his cigar and the next thing i know he's over there drinking beer with the neighbors haha. So we go over there and hang out with them and man they are interesting characters! The biggest being Frenchy, a 60 year old white haired man and oh my gooo was he freakin awesome. he had more energy then a 16 year old, and he is a master at the air guitar. He told us they do this every year. he was there with his daughter and her husband, and her cousin. And then there were people next to him that were much like us and joined the party. So we sat out on the porch with them and drank beer and watched frenchy the entertainer. it was so funny! he was dancing around to music like Jet, Outkast, Coldplay, the white stripes, and others. I think the best one was magerittaville, "searchin for my lost shaker of salt." Where's the salt, where's the mother fuckin salt! thats their version of it. actually that was the song that put an end to our party, cuz everyone was really loud and the people in room 4 were grouchy and complained. but it was 1:00am hahaha had a great time.
Ok then saturday was planned to do the rafting part, dad was going to drive to tulsa and practice with his band. It was funny Frenchy came out bright and early and was like where's the champoo! i need some champoo (Champagne)haha how awseome is that! and then eric came (he was trashed that night) saying "where the hell am i?" Frenchy and them said they were going on the 12 mile drift and talked us into going on that one well we were ready at 9 so we left and said we would make it a slow trip so they could catch up with us. Never happened. But we did meet some interesting people on the river though. everyone was real friendly, but there were some assholes, like there was these guys with beads who were all like show us your boobs, you girls got potential, and we were like "uh go away momma's on board and she doesn't think thats a good idea" found some sooner fans and this one group we leap frogged over and over "the radio people" cuz they had a radio so we would stop by them to listen to it hehe. I got a cut on my foot, it really hurts... We had a great time though.
We got back around 6:00 and found that Frenchy and them wemped out and went on the 6 mile, butt holes! Anyway we got the party started again. i got pretty drunk. had a really good time, i so wanna go again next year. im so excited!
