Yesterday…

…love was such an easy game to play….

…wait, no it wasn’t. You’ve hardly even played it Camille and when you have you’ve sucked at it loser. Oh right, okay continuing,

Yesterday we drove up to Britt Iowa to celebrate my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. I used the word celebrate, ha. That’s so funny. Why? Because they’re really not the most loving couple and their marriage hasn’t exactly been ‘joyous’ by any stretch of the word. I also have never really felt like they were my grandparents, for many reasons. Oh blah blah blah. I could go into the past of it all but I really don’t care to right now. Lets go straight to the action packed highlights.

*Woke up at five and helped get everyone ready to go.

*Drove two hours up to Britt, listened to music and read Anna Kareninna. (OH MY WORD!!! HE PROPOSED AND SHE SAID YES! Seth, you little bastard for telling me he might not ask her! You stinking SOB! He did and she said YES! Thank Neptune!)

*Attended a Catholic service which was very interesting. During this service Sophia (whom I was trying to keep occupied and quiet) kept doing the most OUTRAGIOUS hilarious things and I had to bite my tongue to keep from laughing. One of my personal favorites was “Camille why Is that guy in the dress yelling at that glass of juice? Is he mad at it?” Well, the priest was blessing the communion or something in a very loud voice and Sophia was very confused. Man she was a naughty little riot.

*Lunch. The girls and I took charge of the kids table, but what else is new? The kids table is the best.

*We spent the rest of the afternoon at my Grandparent's house. Highlights there included: Chatting with WEIRD relatives, eating cake, dodging WEIRD relatives and going down to the basement with the kids. In said basement I: Played darts with myself (very fun)while the girls watched tennis, kicked Emily’s ass at speed, kicked Emily’s ass at pool, and chased the boy in laps around the basement.

*After most of the other WERID relatives had left, Emily and I watched the finals for the Huston masters cup. Rodger Federer was playing, and hes out favorite so we were PSYCHED! Grandpa came into the room, and here is the conversation that followed.

Grandpa: What are you two girlies watching.
Camille: Tennis Grandpa.
Grandpa: Well can we put the football on instead?
Camille: No Grandpa, this is good for your culture.
Grandpa: Culture??? Hoodog, I didn’t know this was culture.
Emily: Well it is grandpa, so have a seat and learn.
Grandpa: Whos that Ally Cat? The one who looks like he needs a hair cut BAD.
Camille: That’s Rodger Grandpa, we want him to win.
Emily: Yeah, and the other guy is Layton, hes a retard and a totally dork
Grandpa. So we want him to lose okay?
Grandpa: Alright girls, so the ally cat weirdo we want to win, and the dorky girl we want to lose.
Emily: Right.
Grandpa: So which one do we want to win?
Camille: Gah Grandpa, the guy in the blue shirt. Rodger.
Grandpa: Haven’t I had enough culture yet?
Camille and Emily: NO!
Grandpa: Okay. I’ll stay and get me some more culrute then.

Ha ha, okay I’ll admit…Grandpa is alright. Hes a cutie at least.

Anywho, overall we survived and made our father happy by visiting his parents and other family members. So I guess you could say it was productive and ‘reasonably’ enjoyable.
