Phew , what a time ,so much happened 4 days at the cabin ,I havent posted anything for a bit , I have been reading and catching up with all of your blogs and emails . Well we had the time of our lives , there were about 23 people some stayed all weekend, some came and went but it was a crowd . Well the start of it is prep ing the food and planning meals , drinks/mixes and cleaning etc Thank you to who ever invented paper plates :) :): )
that all done, people come on down:) .
It was a somewhat sunny start so we started with the fire on the beach and get ready for the lobster boil up, and bonfire for the kiddies , we all enjoy it despite the nippers! Organization makes life so much easier , eveything ready just have fun . We sat on beach logs HUGE ONES ,some who remain nameless have big , uhh,,, cushions of there own and need space , , ok it is me ! haha . We sat around the fire and watching for whales , none the first day BOO HOO ! but seen a Mink swim to the little cluster of rocks and fish and eat a large fish and bring another one home !
Some people went out in boat , not me, still whale watching the safe way . No one was allowed in boat if they had been drinking (MY RULE) and they have to wear lifejackets no exceptions.
Well , some kiddies set up my extra large tent and were having a great time and when the younger ones went home (small kids and drinking adults do not mix , kiddies come again) anyway the tent remained up , and It was a lovely evening , we have hundreds Christmas lights, sounds weird but sure is PERTY!) in the trees behind us and places to sit and socialize . We about 14 of us were "socializing" some more than others and all of a sudden the wind came up and almost knocked us over . Where our cabin is , it is know for extreme winds at times from the mountains behind us , well the wind wanted to party as well.
MY TENT MY TENT ahhhh!!!!!!!!! within seconds it was coming out of the ground this is a big tent , and large post , anyway , it was like a circus everyone trying to help and a few who were shall I say tipsy , all trying to take down this tent, and the wind blowing like a razor through you . well we got it all down and balled up and it was ok :) all the time laughing so hard like Abbot and Costello times five .:)
Onward and inward into the cabin, warm cozy, good friends and fun times .Sounds of the wind howling "let me in "and whistling , and the ocean waves mixed with laughter ,music and fun . Card games and such persued into the wee hours , I won $20 then lost $25 . still cant figure it out!
Next morn . Big cooked breakfast , light the woodstove/fireplace , watch the birds fishing , and listen to the silence ahhhhhhh wonderful.
For some reason people were sleeping in really late haha not me , guess cooking bacon /ham and such stared rousting them from their slumber.
Kite flying , nature walks , wood chopping and fire building all the while trying to see if we could see whales , not yet , well we all had fun and
had BBQ"S and Beer chugging contest ,winner gets a BEER :) sitting in the sun with the ocean view and watching the brave souls out in the boats and listening to music and a dance or two . Fresh air nothing like it .
Four days , beautiful sunset , one hazzy one ,still nice , everyone ate sang and was merry! And on the last day , Whales , three jumping and playing , but really far off you need binoculars to see , loved it . we will see plenty more through out the summer and if I can if close enough I will get a pic . I have a few from the weekend , and was warned , DONT PUT ON BLOG if anyone is in it ummmmm feeling Spirited so to speak ,LMAO. It is hard to get pics of sober people if there are not many round LOL but I will have to sift through and see.
I really needed the break and it was good to get together with friends and family , I wish my blogger friends could have been there , actually I talked about alot of you and people who do not blog , just ate it up so there may be some new bloggers online sonn HAHA .
I had a few drinks , I dont do well with that , I get what they call the bottle flu , ya drink the bottle and feel like you have the flu , or an over hang =hangover , well I learned my lesson ,,,,,until next time HEHE :)
