Weeeeeeekend
On Friday, we (Jd, myself, Amy, Mom, Scooter, Joey, Kyle, and El Rey Max) met up at the old Gaylord for a good old weekend of just plain fun. There were a few highlights and if our dang laptop and bag hadn’t been stolen, I would upload pictures, but well, that isn’t going to happen today.
1. On Friday afternoon, we hit the pool and swam for a few hours. My favorite part was when Amy and Kyle watched these two chairs for about 90 minutes and finally decided to sit in them after no one ever went to them. After sitting in them for about 45 minutes, the orginal “owners” came back and told Amy and Kyle to move. Because apparently, you can get up, leave your chair, go inside, and be totally out of the pool area for three hours and still have claim to your chair just because you leave your “hotel owned” towel on it and your book on the table next to it. It was ridiculous, and slightly awesome when the lady came back and Amy was reading her magazine.
2. We could see the fireworks on Grapevine Lake from our hotel room. Then we named them. The best name being “catalyst”. And, all this happened in the air-conditioning. Oh, and while eating huge-a$% cookies.
3. Jd and Joey were wrestling on the bed and then Scooter started wrestling, and they were all yelling, and the look on Max’s face was hilarious. He was seriously concerned for Joey’s safety. I think he secretly knew Joey could take JD, but add Scooter to the mix and things could go south real fast.
4. JD has, understandably, not been sleeping well at night, and about two on Saturday morning, after a pretty loud coughing fit, he left to go on a walk around the hotel. And, he met a friend. That is so JD, meeting some guy in the hotel atrium and hanging out with him in the middle of the night. The guy was there because he works for BeautiControl as one of their “crew” guys and they were having a convention. (I have never seen so many women with ridiculously large hair, boobs, and bad outfits in once place in all my life, it was like the Jersey Shore version of a Mary Kay Party). Jd then got up again at five, and ate, what he described at the “best banana nut muffin he had ever had in his life”. Then he went back to sleep and woke up again at ten.
4. On Saturday, we went to the water-park at the hotel. There was a lazy river, slide, zip-line,
pool, and splash pool. Max is a fish, so he loved the lazy river, and the lazy river loved him. Especially when he barfed in it, causing it to close down completely. In Max’s defense, it was only a little spit up because he swallowed some water, and well, we were the ones who told the lifeguard because every person in my family has been a lifeguard at some point, and we knew what the protocol was, so we told. And, because the lazy river closed, the bar got really backed up, causing our half-price smoothies to take forever. And once the smoothies were finally delivered, this crazy drunk lady knocked over the tray and the smoothies had to be made all over again.So, I am pretty sure we all enjoyed ourselves, everyone got some sun, relaxed, had a few laughs. And I updated our CaringBridge blog.
