A small family reunion.

Just got back from my "family reunion". Ugh. It was full of sun, stress, and pain. Here is what all happened.

First off we get up at 6 a.m. on Saturday to make it to Irving, Texas in time for my Aunt's 5th wedding. (no lie). We get there early and sit around, but not long enough to sleep. The wedding was ok, but then we had to go and have the gathering at her new husbands house, outside, with bugs. That eat you. And sun. And heat. It was awful.

We went to sleep as soon as we got home and woke up at 7 a.m. the next morning. Hopped in the car and we were on our way to the reunion, 2 HOURS AWAY! I was in the car forever! When we arrived we got to meet a lot of the family that we never met. We played around of testicle golf and ate some fajitas (that was the highlights). After a while we thought why don't we all go and paddle boat for a bit? We get all of my immediate family to go with us so that we can all have fun. 

Me and a cousin of mine get in a boat first and take off. As soon as we turn to face the dock we see my cousin Bret in the water. WHAT HAPPENED? We raced back to the dock and found out that he lost his keys in the water. We got out so we could give our support, paddling around aimlessly wouldn't accomplish anything, but sitting around twirling our thumbs would. As we were getting out I was getting a hold of the dock and slipped in, missed the edge of the dock and went underneath it all the way up to my waist. I was soaked. 

We sat around for three hours trying to find the keys. We used magnets (which we figured out later do not attach to keys), we used divers (saw more of my uncle's then I ever wanted too), we used... nothing else, but still. 

After a while a hot worker comes out and jumps in to help. He went under two times. His third time he came up with the keys. Yes, three times... we spent three hours. Our family is so not fan's of paddle boating anymore.

When all was said and done, they all left and I hung out with the grams and 3rd cousins. Slept on a uncomfortable bed and had no breakfast. So, for all you who think your life sucks, read this and remember, this is how my days go!

Later days!
