Mission: Altogether Likely
now playing: caedmon's call - mistake of my life
Mission: Family trip to Dryden, four hours away
Objective: To set up a friend with the boy of her choice
Team: Most of the people who live in my house and are under 23 - a total of six.
Equipment: Two cars with full tanks of gas. Bribes provided for those who weren't willing to stay the entire weekend. A phone card to call various workplaces. Sleeping bags. Bathing suits. Full entourage of make-up and hair accessories.
Briefing: Activities included water-skiing and tubing, swimming, wind-surfing, water trampoline, wood-fueled sauna (that reached 230 degrees), reading, movies, board games, video games, lots of good food, fire-roasted marshmallows, four-wheelers, and dirt bikes.
Mission: Accomplished. The first night, no less.
Actually, all we had to do was show up. Oh, and listen to the stories after the fact. And try to convince said boy that the father of said friend might actually allow them to date. Craziness.
I learned to wind-surf
:D
