I must admit, I had one hell of a weekend and couldn't have asked for a better one. Sure, the long distance drive blew big time, but it was an awesome weekend.

We left West Bend around 6:30pm and made it to bum-fuck, WI (aka Hayward) at 12:30am. Crystal and Brandon were already up there waiting with a fire. We sat around and chit chatted for a bit before going to bed.

Friday wasn't a very event filled day, but probably one of the funniest. Too bad about half of the people involved will not remember a thing. We woke up pretty early and ended up heading to wally world to pick up some necessities that we still needed. It was the most redneck trailor trash place I have ever seen. They didnt have Miller Lite or Snapple. What kind of a supposed establishment of quality runs out of Miller Lite??? Not a good one! Wally World by us would NEVER had let themselves run out of Miller Lite. After all...anytime is Miller Time!! We ended up coming back and doing some swimming in the pool. After that we decided to go tubing on the river. We pretty much sat in those tubes with the doughnut holes and drifted down the river with the current. The trip was supposed to last a little under 2 hours...so we should be done before 6pm. Well...we had our own ideas. We had permission to bring a cooler along and we did soo. The cooler was loaded with a 24 pack of Miller Lite that we brought up with us, 8 Mike's hard lemonade things, and a one liter bottle of blackberry brandy. In less than two hours in the sun on the river it was all gone. Sure, that may not seem like a lot for 6 people, but it was. We were falling over eachother and off the tubes and flashing eachother and it was just one drunken mess. Andy kept diving into the water with his sunglasses on and losing them, yet he kept doing it. It was pretty bad. Hilarious...but bad. Brandon and Lohr went ahead to see where out pick up spot was supposed to be and we were supposed to follow close behing. Well...Crystal, Emily, and Andy could not stay on their tubes much less walk straight. It was sooo bad. So, I decided to make myself sober up fasted. Andy had left his tube drift down the river a while ago so I made him sit on mine and told them they were NOT allowed off their tubes and grabbed the string connecting all of the tubes and the cooler full of water and empty cans and bottles and pulled. I pulled them all for a good mile or so till we got to the pickup point where Lohr, Brandon, and I had to haul the cooler, the tubes, and the 3 drunk-os up the hill. I even had to help my drunk ass boyfriend get into the van. He couldn't do it alone. It was after 7pm when they picked us up. Thank God they didnt give up on us and leave us behind. I have noo clue how we would have gotten them all home.

Well, the night ended pretty quickly. Andy puked for the first time ever from drinking and passed out in no time. Emily and Crystal were out pretty quick too. Before 8:30pm for sure. It was up to Brandon. Lohr, and I to babysit and entertain outselves. Needless to say...I got camera happy and had some fun. Thankfully, it was early to bed. To put it lightly...Andy was a stubborn one and quite the sass when I woke him up to get him into the tent because I heard it was supposed to rain.  Maybe I should have left him outside to get rained on?

Saturday was the busy day of the weekend, but just as much fun. We started out the day with our trip to Al Capone's hideout. I'm not going to lie, it wasn't as cool as I thought it would be, but I love history and things like that are right up my ally so I did very much enjoy it.  It was a cool house with some amazing interior (which unfortunately I was not allowed to photograph because no pictures were allowed inside) and some great history. It was coo being in a building that the one and only Al Capone....king of the mafia people....once lived. It was an hour long tour and very fact filled. A little corny, but it worked.

From there it was back to the hayward area closer to camp to the Lumberjack Show. Andy and I were bummed when we found out that the weekend before we went up there was the World Lumberjack Championship. That would have been highly entertaining. We did go and see the actual Lumberjack show thought. It was great. Watching the guys run across logs on the water and fall in and get soaked and doing the log roll and climbling up a 60ft pole in no time at all....it was great! All I have to say is... Yo HO!!!!! (Don't ask...u had to be there!)

We got back to the camp in time to have some dinner, for me to take a nice 2 hour name, and to get some predrinking done. It was western weekend and there were horseback rides, wagon rides, and even a country hodown dance. (All of which were only attended by kids like 10 and under so...we decided not to participate in) We did participate in a fun game of Cosmic Mini Golf. The balls were glow in the dark. Lohr and I had Blue Balls...ha ha ha. We all brough extra booze along to drink and before the end of the game...were pretty drunk. Everything somehow was turned into a perverted or sexual reference and it was just an all around great time.

We went to the playground and took some hilarious pictures which i absolutely love and some of which will be uploaded and one of which will make my profile picture. It was a riot and a great time. We got this tiki thing that when you burn it is supposed to make a face and last for 2 hrs and that in itself was entertaining. On top of it, we were drinking and eating smored and lighting off firecrackers and just having an all around great time. At one point int time we decided to light Andy's farts on fire. Well....it ended up making a burn mark on his shorts. We actually got a good one to light and everyone was laughing soo hard we damn near peed our pants. We were all pretty drunk, but having a great time. PLus, we stayed away from things like the blackberry brandy so...all was ok!!

Sunday was not really adventurous or crazy. We had breakfast, cleaned up camp, and left. On the way home we did stop at a big candy store in the town of hayward and a few shirt shops, but that was it. Ohh...we did get stuck in some nasty traffic on the way home. Now, I am sitting here in my own bed and am secretly wishing for the lumpy ground under the tent because that would mean that we could all be sitting around the campfire drinking and chattin and having a great time.

It's ok...Andy said we are going to go camping one more time this summer...so...I am a happy camper!!!
