Wowzer!

Yesterday was Father's Day. We packed up the boys (including my little cousin Christian) bathed in some Supergoop to avoid getting pink and headed to the lake. The weather could not have been any better! It was a nice relaxing day for us and I was even able to get tan lines. Woo Hoo! Erik was given cable for Father's Day. I could not take listening to him complain about missing his precious Twins anymore (plus I was missing Drop Dead Diva). He is one heck of dad that works way too hard so if cable makes him happy, I'm happy.

On Saturday night I had a festive night with my relatives. My Aunt Diane turned 60 and so my dad's family orchestrated a "fun bus" for us to take off from Fargo, peruse the lake bars for some dancing, and swing back to town. Let me preface that my dad's family is CRAZY! He comes from a huge Catholic family and they are all very close. He has 11 siblings, there are 6 boys and 6 girls. All those that are local (meaning reside in ND or MN) arrived ready to have some fun! We did just that. Started off at Pit 611, stopped at Swanie's and owned the karaoke as well as the dance floor, and ended the evening at The Roadhouse. Erik stayed back with the boys and woke up to us pulling in to our driveway singing,"Ole, ole, ole, ole"...

With the help of my sister's good looks I was able to save some cash because the guys were eager to buy her drinks (and me to impress her) but was not able to avoid the headache which followed the next day after she made me partake in her shot of choice: Red Headed Somethings. Need I say more? But the night was a success because my Aunt Diane (who I adore) had a great 60th birthday.

So our weekend was great, it ended with a bang with a huge hail storm last night. Did anyone else wake up to  that craziness? My husband was convinced that both of our cars sitting in the driveway were toast. Of course they were sitting in our driveway due to me being lazy not cleaning out the garage after my semi-successful garage sale on Saturday. He was not happy, I was happy to see that the vehicles did in fact survive this morning but I am pretty sure I will be planting some flowers again. They were pulverized!
