I had such an amazing time with my family and a few friends this weekend. The best part about the whole thing is that we didn't force it. Of course, we knew all week that "the fam" was going camping (yet again) in Maryland. They pressured us into making it definite, but I would not relent. I didn't want to get their hopes up.
All week, customers were asking about my holiday agenda. I repeatedly told them, "I have no plans, I'm spontaneous. When I want to go, I just get up and go." And so I did. We rolled into their campsite without a call or a warning. As soon as they saw us, it was an instant party. We bring the fun, of that there is no doubt.
We rolled with the filthy minded teenagers, relishing in the fact that this may very well be our last chance to do so. This group of teens is the last we'll ever be able to truly relate to. (Phil's younger brother Jeremy, his cousin Josh & friend.) The next group of up and coming teenagers includes Merick 4, Hunter 3, Alex 8, & Kaitlyn 5. This is about ten years from now. My, how time has flown... It's hard to believe that soon we'll be the old heads in bed at 10 pm on future camping trips!
We went swimming, played whisper down the lane, the alphabet game, and truth or dare which lead to pole dancing, streaking through the site, humping soda machines, and foot licking. We went to a secluded little beach on the bay in the dead of night (without the youngsters) and reflected. We made a pact, the four of us (myself, hubby, sister-in-law Heather, and her boyfriend Aaron) to come back to that very spot ten years from Labor Day, no matter where we are or who we're with. Yeah, we were a little drunk and what not, but we meant it.
All in all, I'm glad that we went. I'm happy that I have become so close with these people who were mere strangers to me ten years ago. I love them all more than I love my own blood relations, and I am so glad that they accept me for the wild child that I am, without question.
