A Fun Memorial Weekend

I'm not sure how to start this post so I'm just gonna jump right in. I went to work Sat night and stayed till 10 am on Sun morning. My sister picked me up and we went to Dunkin Donuts to get a drink. We ended up in line for awhile because the lady in front of us ordered five different beverages, and like two dozen donuts. I ordered a med strawberry coolata and since they were out of med cups, I got a large for the price of a med, which made me happy :) Then we went to Walmart to get bottled water for my parents and then we were on our way. We got to the campground after turning around three different times cuz we were going the wrong way. Reasons? My sister wrote down the directions quickly so they were very confusing to read. At one point we turned around because I didn't read the directions off right. Oops. But we finally arrived at Kayuta Lake Campgrounds around noon. When we got there, my dad and two of my siblings were in a ladder golf tournamnet which I am not going to explain, if you don't know what is, there's a wonderful online search engine called Google :) There was a kid who wanted to play but he didn't have a partner, so I decided to jump in and play, we lost 19-21, the score only goes up to 21. My little sister had entered a bean bag toss tournament the day before and won. She won a Kayuta Lake Campground t-shirt.


We proceeded to go back to our campsite and ate lunch. What'd we do after that? Oh yeah, my sisters and I went to the "Arcade" and watched my brother in an air hockey tournament, he lost early on in the game. So we decided to play a couple games of pool, I lost one and won one. Me and my little sister's friend, Delaini, found out that it is fun to poke my brother with poolsticks that have black chalk on the ends. I can't remember exactly what else we did, I know me and my sister, Krystal, went down to the beach for a little while but we didn't go swimming. Around dinnertime, my mom decided to order pizza and wings from a nearby restaurant so that's what we had for dinner. Then we just kind of hung out until 7, we went to listen to a live band called The Fulton Chain Gang. They sang country/southern rock, so I was pretty familiar with it. It was the perfect picture of rednecks. There were a lot of people, over 100 and probably 3/4 of them were drinking. There was a lot room for dancing but most people waited until they had a few drinks in them before showing off their dancing skills. I couldn't stop thinking how when you're a little kid, it doesn't matter if you can dance or not, you're cute. But when you get older, if you're a bad dancer, you're seen much differently. Wouldn't it be nice if we all had that innocence and freedom to just be ourselves without worrying about making a fool of yourself? Eventually, my older sister, Mindy, Krystal, me and my mom all went up there and were dancing, trust me, seeing me dance is not a pretty sight but it was dark, and most people were too drunk to care about anything except not tripping over their own feet. It was cool because I got to see a side of my mom that I've never really seen before. The four of us started square dancing. It was a lot of fun!! All night, we tried to get my dad to go dance with my mom but he kept refusing. Finally, we got to a slow song and they danced together, and it was nice to just sit there and watch them. I love my parents so much <3 So after awhile, we went to bed and woke up at 8ish this morning to come back so my mom could go to the hospital to see my aunt, who is doing somewhat better but she's all loopy from the morphine. Likee she told my mom she had nice rabbits in her pockets and she said "Look at that coffeepot sitting right on the dash of my car!" And just other stuff like that that shouldn't be funny but is. We got back home and my mom went right to the hospital while the rest of us stayed and helped my dad unpack our camper. And on our back from the campground my sister didn't have to turn around once! Cuz we were following our dad, haha. I went to work at one and was done at 6:30. Most of the time spent there I read A Walk to Remember to June (the lady I take care of), I must say, this is one of the few times where I liked the movie better than the book. And now here I sit, writing this blog. I'll have pics up soon from this past weekend. And the past few weeks. And the past few months :)
