On Vacation

So last weekend was my family reunion. We went to Appleton. Nice town. We left on Friday afternoon. It was hot up there. By mid afternoon it was in the upper 90's. After we got settled in, hubby and I hit the pool to do some swimming. It was nice as at that time we were the only two in the pool. We took advantage of that. After that we went to dinner with my parent and aunt and uncle. We had a good time.

Saturday dawned smokin' hot again. We went to the park where the reunion was held. There were about 80 people who attending this year. It was nice to see people who you only see at the reunions or funerals. If there wouldn't been a nice breeze out, I think we would have had several people go down from the heat.

After the reunion, we went back to the hotel. It was nice cuz almost everyone was staying at the same place. When we got to the pool, it was packed. So little by little, we waited for them to leave and took over their spots. After a couple of hours we had at least 50 people from our group in the pool. It was a blast. We had fun playing in the water with the kids. Throwing them, chicken fights, and the grand old game of "Marco Polo". The best part was after we had ordered some pizzas, hubby decide that he was done swimming so he changed back into street clothes. Yeah, that lasted all of 3 minutes. The first time he got up to get a beer, BAM! Kevin pushed him in the pool. Too funny. So he said WTF, and just stayed in the pool.

On Sunday, hubby and I left early and heading north to Keshena. We stopped for breakfast at the greatest restaurant for breakfast and then heading to the casino. We signed up the their weekly poker tourney. There were 61 people registered. Hubby went out in the mid 30's. I lasted a bit longer. Had a couple of good hands but was card dead for most of the day.It finally came to a point where I had to make a move. I got pocket 4's in late position. I raised 3 times the big blind. Another guy, who had checked went all in. I was pot committed and need to make a move, so I called. He had pocket A's. DAMN! Flop come A x x. Shit now I am really screwed. Turn comes the last A. Oh well. I went out at 18th. I did not feel bad losing to quad A's. I think I played ok, but too tight in the beginning. It was unlimited rebuys for the first two blind levels and after that you could add on. Some people rebought several times.

We headed home on Monday, but first made a stop for breakfast. Like we could not stop at the greatest restaurant on our way home. We had decided to leave rather early as there were some bad storms predicted for the area later on. I am sooooo glad we did. We were about 2 hours behind the mess that hit Sheboygan. We would have been stuck on the freeway forever.

The boys, or more specifically, Boomer was a beast most of the weekend and poor E will never dog sit again. I feel so bad that E had a rough time. The scary part is that Boomer is so much better than he was a month ago but is still bad. This housebreaking thing has been harder than with the other two. Granted they were babies and not 10 months old. One of the things I need to do today it clean the carpets.

This weekend has us heading off to another camping excursion. This time it is Yellowstone State Park. No not the one with the geyser but the one near Iowa. This one is a 3 niter. It should be fun. Look for some pictures and an update early next week.

It sucks that my vacation is half over. I could use another week, at least. Oh well....

ZOBMONDO!!
