but i dont think any of the others on my list were played! dan and i did cut the rug big time. we spent most of the evening out of the dance floor. it was good time.
the wedding was good, and the reception even better. we dined with a table of blue-hairs and it was awesome. this one woman told dan he was dressed so professional. and it was cool to see these couples that have been married 50 years and still in love (and drinking a lot of straight-up booze). one woman told us the key to happiness was having "happy hour" each night with your spouse. i'm in.
the newlyweds looked happy, the groom got roasted over and over during the speeches, and it was a good evening.
except for the fact that i couldn't track any cheese pizza down afterwards. i bugged the bartender till he threw me a bag of chips to shut me up.
the g-man did beautifully with grandma lynne. the spent a bit of time in the water park at great wolf lodge, then walked around the outdoor mall and griffin enjoyed every ride they had there.
the next day we spent the morning at the waterpark.
My parents came up too to
join us for a bit, then we had lunch.
We bid our farewells and made our way to somerset, wi, where we were headed to see mason jennings and jack johnson at the rivers edge ampitheater.
the concert was awesome. i have always been more of a mason fan, but jack was incredible. the sound there was incredible and griffin was incredible. he was so cute. he would sing along to songs and clap around and shake his booty (and of course point at butts and say poop)oh, that reminds me...when we were in church for the wedding...griffin points at my boobs and kept saying, "mama, whats that? whats that? he got the whole row behind us chuckling. uhh. yeah.
anyway, the concert. it ruled. there were a lot of stoned dudes that would talk to us about the fact that we had a kid at the concert. one guy asked us "so, like, what will you do if you have to change his diaper"? ummm...we respond, "we'll change his diaper". his response..."fucking awesome man. do what you gotta do. he's at his first "jack" show..thats all that matters".
indeed.
another guy came up and said," dude likes him some jack, huh" then we stood awkwardly around in silence for about 2 minutes until he needed a beer or another joint.
anyway, it was awesome. we were worried griffin would be crabby just from all the whirlwind traveling we had done over the weekend, but he loved it.
he drank:
hung with his buddies:
rested between sets:
smiled at the drunkies:
and was just a cute and cool kid.
we have had a crazy week trying to get things done to get ready for our week-long vacation to wisconsin and chicago. we are leaving saturday and will return the following sunday, the 6th.
we are going to spend a couple of days with my parents, go to milwaukee for a couple of days (summerfest, zoo, art museum), and wind up in chicago to celebrate aidan, reese and dave's birthdays. griffin will get to see lots of family...we are all looking forward to that.
and it will be nice not looking at cereal for a week. as much as i'm liking my job...i need a break.
today i'm working on a package of "pirates treasures".
