Wet and Wonderful Weekend

I had one of my best weekends so far this summer.

(for some reason, I only have pictures from our first hour on the boat...)

Saturday I spent relaxing on a pontoon boat on the Chain with some of the coolest ladies ever. An annual event for them, it was the first year I tagged along and it was so much fun I'm going to pretty much beg to be included from now on. I met two friends at noon for some huge burgers (and beer), then we headed out to meet the rest of our crew to load up the boat (and beer) and finally made it to the water around 3. Long story short, we floated on the water, talking (and drinking) all evening, until we eventually made it to the bar where we danced (and drank) until at least 1 am. It was such an amazing day that I only barfed once, at about 7, so I could make sure this little light weight could keep up!

(C'mon, we all knew it was coming...)  

Sunday we spent the afternoon with the K fam and a handful of other Germans. Turbo and the boys left early with Harry, Uncle Ralphie (which Rex has now decided to call him) and Grandpa to BBQ, while the ladies stayed back to put the finishing touches on our sides and desserts for the big picnic. Of course, we eventually all gathered in our favorite corner of the shelter and ate and gabbed and played until we were all sweating and hurt from laughing so hard.

In true K fam fashion, we showed no mercy competing in the water balloon toss, nor did we waste any time berating the (cheating) winning team. (Really, they cheated...they were playing with a balloon the size of a golf ball that was steadily leaking the whole time. What makes it worse, the same team cheats every year, and the K fam does not like cheaters.)

 We had so much fun that we are going to get together again next weekend for (dumdadadum) Germanfest!

(Note to Megan...I know you didn't get a chance to hear it, but Lucy talked about Meggy the entire ride home. Hope you don't mind your new name!)
