As we left our house Monday evening at 10 in the evening, I had my camera in my purse and was convinced I would take pictures at every given opportunity so that we would be able to remember this fun vacation. As happens with me, I have wonderful intentions. I got no pictures of them snoozing in the car on the 11 hour ride up to Wisconsin and no pictures since we've got here. More on that in a bit.
We arrived Tues morning around 9 and we met up with my sister Karen and her husband bill to go eat. I don't know why, but since I was a child, breakfast food has always been my favorite. I love french toast, pancakes, bacon, sausage, biscuits, etc. My favorite of all breakfast foods would have to be fried potatoes or something along that line. Home fries, hash browns, fried potatoes, u get the gist. Anywho- we got on a funny subject about me and my infatuation with breakfast.
Eggs.
I don't like eggs, but I think the perfect breakfast should include an "over-easy" egg. I have always made them when we do a big breakfast at home, and when we go out to a restaurant, I always order them. But I hardly ever eat them. How weird is that?? To me, the perfect plate of breakfast food includes 2 over-easy eggs. I just don't like them and my OCD will not let me just not order them- that would be too easy. So that's that.
Back to talking about pictures. After breakfast we decided to go meet up with my two brothers, Carl and Wally. I actually remembered to take my camera in that time. But did it ever come out of the purse? Nope. So now 2 good instances for pictures have went by.
Later that afternoon, me and my kids, auntie Karen, and Melissa and her kids all headed to Bay Beach. It is a small amusement park for kids that I remember going to when I was little. The tickets used to be 10 cents but then couple years ago they changed it to 25 cents per ticket. It has rides for adults as well (tilt-a-whirl, scrambler, ferris wheel) and tons of kiddie rides. All for 25 cents a ride. Most of the big ones are 2 tickets- oooohhhhh- so they cost 50 cents. I know, we're big spenders. So, anyway, we are in the park and I go to take pics of the kids on the first ride, only to realize that I left the camera in the car. FUNNY!
The next day, we had plans to go to my brother Carl's house for a bonfire. I thought about my camera many times during the day and made a conscience decision that I'm not going to forget my camera yet AGAIN. So I managed to remember it, put it in my purse, actually brought it with me in one of my many bags that I have to carry because of the 3 kids (purse, diaper bag, food bag, etc.), remembered to take it out of the car and got it out of my purse to start taking pictures. Three pictures in......... my batteries die.
Why?? Why?? Why??
I thought I would share the funny reason why I have no pictures from the first 2 days of our week. I am fully relying on my pals to fill in the blank pages of my vacation scrapbook.
