Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
I LOVE the Falls! I love it like I would marry it! What a great weekend, and lemme tell ya - you couldn't spend much more time there than that because you would go completely broke. WAAAAAAAAAY too much money spent in a short period of time, loveys. And I didn't even do ONE of the wine tours. Not ONE!!! Damn family-oriented bullshit, that's what it was. I mean, I love it! I love it like I would marry it.
Considering it started with me in a van with my sister and her boyfriend whom I've never met for 8 hours, I think it all went pretty well. Kev-head and I decided that if Jen & Charles break up, we're keeping Charles. First - he emptied the hotel mini-bar into his backpack to take on the road for the "day of
touristy stuff." A stroke of GENIUS when we're waiting for the People Mover that he whips out some cans of cranberry and OJ and all the little bottles of vodka and rum and we're now having cocktails waiting for the bus. BRILLIANT. And he finds my sister's stupid quirky bullshit just as annoying as we do! BRILLIANT! And he's got a sense of humor like Kevin's, which is sometimes not so brilliant...but hey, I never said he was perfect. He is, after all, dating my sister. Which for the life of me I can't figure out. He seems normal enough. He must have a crazy flag he's just not flying all of the time, and he managed to keep it in his suitcase for the weekend.
We saw the falls, we ate food, we played in the arcade, went on the big ferris wheel, walked the Ripley's museum, swam in the hotel pool, drank in the hotel bar, did all the major tourist shit that costs one million dollars (crowd favorite - Maid of the Mist - it's a blast!). It rained on Saturday and no one cared because we were soaking.frigging.wet. all day anyway. I think I lost weight from being wrapped in yellow and blue plastic ponchos for so long.
Aaaaaaaaand, I WON in the casino! That NEVER happens to me!!! I think I was playing roulette - but the table didn't have black and red on it. The wheel did. Anyway, I gave the lady $20, she gave me a bunch of chips. I disbursed them onto a bunch of numbers, and then was politely told that there's a $15 minimum on the table. Whoops. Friggin' rookie. So I just started throwing chips everywhere and I won $70. Hooray! Boooo losing in the poker machines, hooray #19. That is now, officially, my new favorite number. I totally paid for my Coach bag that my sister had sent to me that my husband didn't know about, even though I was carrying it all over Canada...gotta love him.
The one-liners are too many to list...I should have kept a handy-dandy notebook.
Tonight: Wine tasting at Impressions Cafe - I'm taking my girlfriend Linda for her birthday.
It's a busy week folks, including wine tasting, football practice, knife skills class (for cooking! Hooray!), church board meetings, dinner with Suzi and her boyfriend, niece's birthday party and opening day for football on Sunday, kids. Yowzers!

SECOND- Sounds like a great trip. Sounds like Charles is a lot of fun. Glad you all enjoyed yourselves! I was super productive at home this weekend! Next weekend, BEACH HOUSE! Yeah Baby. Hayden is very excited but doesn't understand why Owen, Alex, and Rowan won't be there. Too cute.
Gotta go for now...
Awsome T-shirt idea.
Wow, it sounds like you all had a wonderful time. I had no idea about this trip!!! I guess you can do more in Canada than fish. Kisses to all!!!!!!
Charles, eh. Does he go by Chuck? How about Charlie? Or, does he just like being in Charge...Also, if he's annoyed by your sister the sex must really be good.
Sounds like a great trip. Booo spending too much money though.
Ok, I'm sore and don't have anything else. 5 games of softball in one day really takes its toll.
Re: Chuck
Is he a fire man or does he just likes wearing the t-shirts?
Great family picture!
I think the T should just say
Blog Nude
And leave it at that.
He doesn't go by Chuck - I didn't ask why...and as you know, when my sister's around, no one else is in charge. ;) As for his T, which doesn't say anything about blogging nude...he is an aspiring fireman. He used to be a Wal-mart store manager, now he's a Marsh grocery store manager...but he's applied to be a fireman in several places, I think. Not sure on the whole story there.
Booooo getting old and being sore from softball...hooray beer!
Talk about tired! I'm tired just reading your blog! Boo getting old, hooray menopause!
Mom, that's just wrong.
Here's a Joke:
A Greek and a Polock are walking down a dirt road in the old country. As they are walking they come across a goat with it's head stuck in a fence. Without hesitation, the Greek drops his pants, gets behind the goat and starts making love to it. He finishes up, puts his pants back on and says to the Polock, "ok, it's your turn." The Polock sratches his head and turns to the Greek and says, "Ok, but I don't think my head will fit in that fence."
