The Chicks Weekend Was Meant To Be!

Whew! I'm back from a wild weekend at the camp! And what a time we had! Before I get into more detail I have to say that even though the girls night was officially cancelled, it was still definitely a girls weekend! Poor Darcy! LOL

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures yet, since Darcy still has the camera for the rest of this week! Kim has some though, and she'll be sending them my way A.S.A.P, so I'll post them in a couple of days.

Anyway, Friday was a crazy, hectic day! Trying to pack stuff for Darcy and Mitch for a whole week in the woods is not an easy task! We actually didn't make out too bad, the worst thing..we forgot the dog food! Duh! Luckily we always keep some at the camp, so they were good for a night anyway. Saturday we knew Mary and Chris were coming, so we just called and asked them to bring some up. That saved an extra trip to town, Bonus!

The truck was LOADED with stuff, luckily before we left the house Dan..A.K.A, Gammy, pulled in the yard and since he was coming up for the night, offered to take Mitch's four-wheeler in the back of his truck. I had planned on making the trip with Kim in her car, and then we ended up driving my buddy Jana up too. Jana works with me, and is the only co-worker that actually made the trip up!

Anyhew, we had a great drive up, lots of laughs, and an even better time once we arrived there! Jana plays guitar, so her, Darcy and Mitch played some tunes by the campfire, and Kim and I tried to sing..heh heh! I think it's time I learned some kind of instrument, I felt so useless just sitting there! Anyway, Gammy actually stayed awake till midnight! Then, he passed out in his usual place, a lawnchair by the fire. The rest of us rocked on till 3am..well, except Mitch, but he did outlast Gammy!

Saturday was so freakin' hot! None of us had an ounce of energy to move, it took us forever to get breakfast going! I think it was 1:00 in the afternoon before we even ate. It was too hot to do much of anything, so we pretty much just vegged out in the yard most of the day. Mitch and Kim did go pick some raspberries, and Darcy and Kim took a drive later in the day. Kim drove Mitch's bike which was probably not the best plan..eh Kim?? She wiped out, cut her leg up pretty good, and was completely covered in mud when they got back. All we could do was laugh at her!

Soon after that, Mary and Chris arrived (with our dog food..thanks guys!). The beer were flowing quite freely by that point, and we got our campfire going. About an hour later, Michelle arrived with her step-daughter Tiffany, who is 11. We had only met her once before, but she wasn't a bit shy, and was excited to go camping. Mitch was even more excited to have someone to hang out with! Tiffany really wanted to try Mitch's four-wheeler out, so she took his bike, and Mitch took Darcy's with the trailer hooked on. The two of them drove out to Michelle's car to get their gear, and Tiffany was scared of driving! Didn't take her long to get over that fear, she was soon splashing through the biggest puddles she could find, and driving loops around the camp yard. The two kids had the time of their lives, and so did the rest of us!

One major problem we didn't think about was the bed situation! We just didn't have the room for all our company. Kim, Darcy and I ended up going to Scott and Dean's camp to sleep, so it all worked out in the end! Chris and Mary passed out early, they were both exhausted and were planning a tubing trip the next day. Darcy sat with Michelle, Kim, Jana and I, and was picked on most of the night! Poor guy! He had a rough night, but I think he probably loved every minute of it!

Today was another hot, humid, muggy day! Gross! I hate this kind of weather! We once again took our time getting the "community" breakfast together. Chris and Mary left early for the tubing trip, the rest of us sat around drinking lots of coffee and laughing. Darcy stayed outside most of the day, he said he could, and I quote, "Cut the estrogen with a knife"..lol. We stuck around most of the day, and when it was finally time to pack up, Tiffany announced that she didn't want to leave with us. After lots of discussion, she ended up staying with Darcy and Mitchell. Brave girl! We decided to make a road trip up tomorrow night to pick up Tiffany, (that's if she'll come), otherwise we'll bring her some clean clothes and bring Darcy some much needed ice. Kim and I are heading up Wednesday night for ice delivery, so we can always pick her up then if she decides to stay on for a couple more days.

So, I'm sure that Darcy was glad to get rid of us all, and he was taking the kids on a four-wheeler trip for the afternoon/early evening. They were both very excited! I only wish that I was on vacation this week too! :(

Anyway, that's enough for now, I'll post some pics within the next couple of days! Later,
