This weekend was another beautiful camping weekend, we got up to Whitetail about 5:30 Friday night and got all settled in and on our way up to Whitetail, we stopped and picked up fried chicken at the Potosi gas station. We've heard it was delicious and whoever told us that was right, it was very good. I was only disappointed because they don't have mashed potatoes and gravy and I was kind of looking forward to that. Who has fried chicken without mashed potatoes and gravy? We ended up getting a macaroni salad and coleslaw, they were both very good. We got 12 pieces of chicken in hopes to have leftovers. Brandon brought a friend up, Keiffer, and the two of them hung out all weekend walking around the campgrounds scoping "chicks" out. We didn't see them too much this weekend only when they were hungry or thirsty.
After dinner we headed across the street to visit with the others, Tom started drinking Captain and cokes and I had water. It was a chilly night outside but a perfect one while sitting by the fire. Me and couple other girls went for a golf cart ride and we left the guys hanging by the camper, listening to music and when we got back, I don't know what got into Tom but he was hammered! He could hardly talk or walk and it was only like 10:30 at night. I don't know what got into him because he only had a few Coke's left and me being sober, I wasn't too happy. So he kept getting louder and louder and finally I said "come on, we are going to bed" We walked over to the camper with a little help from Jeremy, our neighbor, and into the camper we went and unfortunately he didn't make it to the bed, he made it to the couch. I haven't seen him this bad since we were at The Ozark's and if you were there you know what I mean, maybe he wasn't that bad but I wasn't too happy. At one point I was in the bathroom and next thing I know, I hear something and have no idea what it was. Here it was Tom trying to get out of the camper and fell down and he's lying outside on the patio and the screen door handle is broke. I wasn't too happy and was about to leave him there because I can't pick him up but he did get up on his home and made it back to the couch again. I went to bed and next thing I hear is him banging his foot against something then banging his foot on the floor. He was freaking the dog out because she jumped up on the bed with me and this not like Patches, so her and I slept in the bed together. Finally I was sick of whatever Tom was kicking so I made him get into bed and there he crashed. Oh and one other thing, while we were on our golf cart ride, I left Patches with Tom and come to find out that one our neighbors took patches and put her in our camper and I left the leftover chicken out on the counter. You guessed it, Patches got about 4 pieces of chicken, bone and all. Not the best thing for dogs and you she could not stop "shitting" Saturday morning! Thank God, she didn't puke or anything the camper then I would have been really pissed.
Here's a scary picture of Tom passed out on the couch. I didn't realize his eyes were open, kind of creepy.
The next morning I got up and made breakfast because I was starving and Jeremy came over with the lawn mower so I made Tom get up and help mow the lawn. He actually didn't feel as awful as I thought he was going to and the first thing he asked was "what did you put in my drink" LOL I made him one drink! Come to find out Jeremy was mixing him Jack and Coke's and if anyone knows Tom, he's NOT a whiskey drinker so that's why he was so drunk. Also come to find out that "thing" he was kicking was the side window, the window was open however he managed to kick the screen out of its track so Tom has lots of work to do next time we are up there.
Saturday was a little rainy off and on, when I woke up around 6:30 to let the dog out, there was a beautiful rainbow over the campers. I managed to get a picture.
It was a quite Saturday night, it was another beautiful night for a fire, this time we had our own fire, but did go and visit the neighbor's for a while until we were ready to eat. We had hot dogs over the fire, one of my favorite meals camping. It was an early night. There were bands playing all day on Saturday so we hung up at the pool area for a while but we could hear them just as good from our campsite.
Sunday morning we got up, made breakfast and headed home. The Hendricks picnic was at noonish so we came home, showered and out the door we went. I had Tom made the pasta salad Friday before we left for camping so everything would be ready to go. It was a gorgeous day out. We stayed until about 3:30, Tom was supposed to work early but that canceled so he got to go in at his regular time so he went home and headed for bed, after my shot of course.
Here's a picture of dad wearing mom's hat. She was in her wheelchair all afteroon.
I don't think I blog about our last weekend camping, it was quite interesting on Saturday afternoon, 27 girls all went tubing. I don't have any pictures of this because my camera or phone would have definitely gotten wet but it was so peaceful and relaxing. We went down the grant river and for $10, it was well worth it. We got to stop about 3 different times, there were a few beaches up but it was a busy day, lots of tubers and canoes out. I actually didn't have to pay because my friend, Ellen, brought a friend who had a couple tubes we could use so it didn't cost us anything. It was about a 4 hour trip, we could have made it in about 2 1/2 hours but we took our time. Once we got back, Tom and Linda, we there to spend the night with us. Now that I'm typing this I might have blogged about it, but no pictures. Anyways, right after dinner, I was asked to drive a couple girls to an accident. I guess one of the girls who was canoeing decided to drive home, to let her dog out, with 2 young girls, one was her daughter and the other was a friends' daughter. I was the only sober one, so off we went. It was about 15 minutes away on the way to DBQ where the accident was, all I can say is they were lucky! The girl driving had no business behind the wheel of the car, here's a few pictures.
