Dragonboat Awesomeness

The weekend was amazing! It was great to see everyone again and there was definitely lots of bonding. It was raining almost all of the time but there was a little bit of sunshine Sunday morning and we took advantage of that and went to the beach!
Laura's house was amazing! She lived as she quotes "exactly 1 km" from the beach. The beach was amazing. There were a lot of dead fish everywhere and there was only a little bit of "free" beach but the people made it fun. The water was really shallow and I went preetty far back until I had to stand on my tippy toes.
We went through an entire tank of propane over two days and we resulted in using the giant firepit. We definitely understimated the open flame and we charred a lot of the burgers we had. It was still fun....I tried some of those marshmellows with Bailey's in it, it tasted pretty damn good. A lot of people wanted to try it.
I got to Laura's Friday night and I barely remember it. I just know I bonded a lot with two other girls and we passed out together (awwww!!). Lots of pictures to piece together the happenings of Friday night. Saturday was pretty rainy but we went to the beach anyways and watched the awesome video courtesy of Mike Sun. Great video Mike!! Hopefully it'll be on youtube soon so I can show all of you guys what an hilarious video it is (was?).
By Sunday, most of the team had left already either in the morning or the night before but we went on with the daily activites anyways. It was sunny so we went to the beach (I got a little bit burnt...a little bit closer to Kyle's tan-ness) and we handed out awards chosen by the execs. I got the award for Most Dedicated Paddler. Not sure how that came to be...probably because I brought all the food.
Laura was fabulous for letting so many people stay over and literally camp in her backyard. So many memories...I hope we have another get together before school starts. Laura might even be living with Matt and I next year...and she's bringing her dog!!! Yay! Maddox is SO well behaved, its unbelievable.

Ahh...Not even there for 10 minutes and I already have a drink in my hand...

Ahh...bonding!!

A piglet that lived across the street from Laura's house...it's so cute! His name is CB...which stands for Canadian Bacon!


Beach!! I sneaked into the picture last minute!

Feet!! One of the last pictures taken before we all departed!
On another note...I'm going to visit Kyle next Wednesday! I CAN'T WAIT!!
