Last weekend was a lot of fun, but over waaay too quickly! I wish there was just one funny story to tell about, because an itinerary would just bore you guys. Hm....
As I mentioned in my last post, we had friends Miranda, Abbie, and Rachel over for the weekend. We biked along the bike trail Saturday afternoon, then over to the farm market for donuts. We also watched selections from the Talent Night, and all of the latest
Pride and Prejudice movie.
Sunday we introduced them to some friends from church, but it was really empty that day. I don't know why. Because the girls had to leave by 4:00, we didn't go to volleyball, and just played Blitz and talked for a while after lunch.
Then we decided to take a walk. Dad suggested we walk past KK, SS, and Jumbo Shrimps' house to see if they were back from vacation. We strolled up to the corner and saw their van parked in the driveway with all the bikes on it. They were back! Then Sis and I hatched a mildly evil plan. That family had never met or seen pictures of Miranda, Abbie, or Rachel. What would be their reaction if three complete strangers walked up to them, greeted them by name, and asked how their vacation was?
We planned to find out.
So our friends went over to the driveway after I pointed out Kirsten, and said 'hey Kirsten!'
Kirsten's face was priceless.
Then Rachel asked how their vacation went, which, I'm afraid, kinda freaked poor Kirsten out. Sis and I appeared then, laughing. I'm glad Kirsten is a good sport! Some people, I'm sure, would not have found it funny. What
I found particularly hilarious was that Short Stuff had been picking stuff up out of the car and just stayed in there until Sis and I walked up! :) So we stood talking for a few minutes before continuing on our stroll.
We also stopped by the park and made a video to say 'hi' to the people Sis and I know back in Illinois. It was a disaster. It turned out awful. Have you ever tried to say something coherent when there are four people picking on ever word you say, and making everything you say sound silly? And interrupting you every sentence?
Oh, it is hard. Impossible would describe it better. *shakes head sadly* I already am unhappy about the way I sound on camera, but when I'm fumbling for words, laughing, and being teased.........
Okay, on to something happier! ;D
We had a good weekend, and I can't wait to do something like that again! there were lots of pictures taken, and I'll post some of them on here or my
photo blog once I get them on the computer.
I'll post again later this week, I promise! There will be some extra time Thursday and Friday that I plan to set aside for blogging.
And 5 "Good Friend" blogger points go to Zazzamarandabo, the only friend to comment on my last post. :) Thanks for the comments, Zazzy. (Can I call you Zazzy for short? Or just Big Z. No, not that. I'm still trying to break the habit of calling you Skittles. :)
Later, folks!
