We made it back safe and sound from our mini vacation. It was wonderful to get away from work and the Acres for a few days. And spending time with my family wasn't bad either. It was probably the best weekend of togetherness in a few years.
We spent the Friday at the water park, Noah's Ark. Got there at open and stayed until close, yeah we are die hards. My sista's little people are to the age where they can go on almost all the rides (no more hanging out at the kiddie wading pool!!) The Beans is a little on the tiny side, so not tall enough to do some things. She is 42 inches exactly, the minimum requirement to ride the quadzilla water slide. I think the Beans, her sister, and I went down it five time in a row towards the end of the day. They are going to have to start weight training for next year; Aunt Maggie isn't going to carry their mats up the hill again.
Friday night Mr. B and I went to a wedding at a resort near the dells. Good times. A few drinks with our friend Captain Morgan and dancing. Oh and there were masquerade masks, how fun is that!!
Saturday morning headed up to the cabin for a weekend of hiking, beaching, boating, campfires, and cocktails. Oh and riding my nephew's mini bike and shooting things with the pellet gun.
(How come grand kids get all the cool stuff? we never had a pellet gun or mini bike when we were little. Maybe my sister and I were to busy being princesses.)
Gus and Murphy, the parentals dog and Gus's BFF forever, found some dead fish to roll in. NOT AMUSED!! It was nauseating, that must be one of the worst smells ever. They needed a bath ASAP. Mom just did dishes so there was no water. The water pressure at the cabin is not that great, to put it bluntly it sucks. Into the truck to the boat landing. Gus knew he did something wrong and he only likes to ride shotty, not in the bed of a pick up. So that was an adventure to ketch him. We got him there and they both got shampooed three times to get rid of the smell. Now Mr. Gus is all handsome and smells good. He needed his quarterly bath anyway.
Besides the dead fish incident, a bee sting, a scraped toe, and a pinched hand, it was a wonderful weekend full lots of good food, good drinks, and good people. Can't wait till next year.
