It was a weekend away without children. And us old people were acting like kids ourselves. Yet, we had a blast. In the last 9 nines summers since we have been cottaging the first weekend of August, this has to rate at the top of the list for good times. Probably the best of all the weekends.
Joining Dave & I were Mark & Nikki VanDam, Craig & Sharla Slings, Jason & Kristin DeVries, Ryan & Lisa Flipse and Jeff & Gina Gaich. (Dave & Karla Weemhoff sadly could not be here this year. Their loss. Ha!) I can't believe how silly our time was. During our usual evening pontoon ride, we decided to give some visitors to the Housman cottage (Dan & Cort, Ryan & Sue, and Phil & Sherry) a scare. At about midnight, we coyly tiptoed up to their hut and scared the be-geezus out of them. What a blast!
Retaliation ensued after we were tee-peed at 1:30am, peanut butter was spread over windows and cars were repositioned over at Evergreen Shores. (Not our finest work, but we didn't have much to go on.) But it was a memory. And can you believe we stayed up until 3am? We are stupid! Hey, no kids. And we weren't tired. Unbelievable.
Then we get up in the morning, and after being re-energized by Jason's omelets, we were challenging the "other girls" to a tube-off. But after they saw us practicing around the lake, they waved their white flags in surrender. So, I believe us old ladies never did make it around the lake once - we fell off so many times. Yet, the boys put us to shame as Mark was a maniac on the tube. He would flip over, accidentally, and keep hanging on and flip back over. Unbelievable.
So much fun was packed into our weekend! Then, we had to go home. Ugghhh.
