oh man. i survived.
darren and i headed up to baxter on thursday morning with his mom and sisters. his grandparents (his dad's dad and step-mom) came up on friday. there's a campground/resort on north long lake where they have a space on permanent reserve.
we actually got to see marsha on thursday evening, which was nice. we were in pequot at a time of day when there wasn't a billion people there. had dinner at the commander and had a generally good time. that night we got drunk by the campfire and BS'd with darren's cousin michael and his friend kevin.
we braved the water on friday. it was, well, cold. nice once we got used to it though. it was colder on saturday i think. for the most part we just hung out, played games, ate food, sat around the campfire and drank. talking to marsha, i determined that darren and i drink probably more than is necessary. just in general.
friday night was sweet. darren's grandpa jack is an amazing guitar player so we say around the fire and he played and told stories. it rained an saturday night so we all retreated into our own shelters.
darren and i took his sisters to see get smart on saturday. it was okay. i appreciated the fact that we could go to a movie at 4:00 on a saturday and, in brainerd, it counted as a matinee. the movie was good enough but i've had enough steve carrell for a while.
the mosquitoes ate me. also, in four days i didn't shower and washed my hair (leaning over the tiny bathtub in the camper) once. the shower i took once i got back today totally beat the awesome shower record, previously held by the first shower i took in london.
and now we're making delicious food and watching jesus camp again, this time with directors' commentary. johnston out.
