Motorcycle Mama

by Kay~Kacey on 8/12/2008

Okay, okay…Jetski Mama

learning to run jetski

The Impish One laughingly patiently teaches him beloved mom how to run the jetski.

fear and danger on jetski

Fear and danger abound when I drove the jetski. Notice the death grip The Impish One had on me to make sure he stayed on… 🙄

More fear on jetski

Yes, The Photography One was deathly afraid of the speed I drove the jetski too! :rofl:

Finally I got the hang of things…

jetski splash

Oh, wait…that isn’t me…. 😉

Other fun lake facts. Did you know that if you throw a Budlight to someone in the lake, and they don’t catch it, it floats? But if you throw a Busch is sinks. Yes, little known lake facts. Now you know. You’re welcome. No use wasting any beverages, don’t you know?

Also, stupid Panera Bread Company blocks a ton of your websites with their stupid filter. What ARE you guys talking about while I’m out of town??

Hope the pics came out okay, and not too dark. I’m never sure when I edit photos on my Macbook. More escapades on vacation tomorrow…

Vacation Souvenirs

by Kay~Kacey on 8/11/2008

So when you go on vacation do you buy souvenirs? Little trinkets to remind you of the trip? We do, we buy coffee mugs, and not just because I’m addicted to like coffee. 😉

california vacation mugs

We bought two mugs from our recent San Francisco trip.

colorado mug

Here is a mug from a trip to Estes Park, Colorado.

coyote inside mug

And look! It has a cute little coyote inside the mug. I love mugs that have a cute little pic inside of them.

cow mug

I also receive mugs as presents. This one is from SuperGuy. I know, I know, but our family has a thing for cows. But that, my friends, is a post for another day.

cute cow mug

Yes, yet another cute picture inside the mug. Love that. Though SuperGuy insists that left handed people are discriminated against with these pic-inside-the-mug mugs. 🙄 They are only printed on one side of the inside. So you only see them if you drink right handed. Oh, the injustice of it all!!

crabby coffee cup

The Geeky One thought he was ever so clever when he bought me this coffee mug… I have NO IDEA what he’s talking about!!

So I considered getting a Lake of the Ozarks mug while I’m here on vacation with all the boys. But really, let’s be honest…do you think there is much chance at all of it getting home without being broken??

So, do you collect anything when you’re on vacations? My brother-in-law collects shot glasses from places they visit. Now that would be handy given my new addiction like of martinis. How about you? T-shirts? Postcards? What is your vacation souvenir of choice?

Summer Lazy Days

by Kay~Kacey on 6/11/2005

Okay, I don’t know where the Lazy Days of Summer are…our work has its busiest time in the summer :mad2: But we are taking a long weekend to the lake today. With eleventy million boys ages 15 and up… :crazy2: So while they’ll all call it VACATION, I’ll just call it vacation. a trip.

Oh it will be fun, but they’ll be lots of cooking and running to the grocery store depending on how many males show up each day. A handful of friends of one of my college kids will be down on Saturday, another handful on Sunday…of course I don’t know how many. That would require 20 year old males to actually plan in advance!

The good thing is they have a Panera Bread Company there with free wireless, so I plan on going out to pick up bagels for everyone each morning. (out of the goodness of my heart :love: don’t you know) Okay,so I need my email and blog fix each day :coffee: I’m also bringing two books, so I hope to hide out and read some. :book: Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE spending time with the boys. They are just so, I don’t know, MALE when there are so many of them. 🙄

Though I’m thinking our house sitter/pet sitter is going to have this blissfully peaceful 4 days here at the house…
