No zoo today. We spent all day out at the camp, after Miss Melanie slept in until 10am. Of course, she didn’t go to bed until after 9:30, and she had no nap yesterday. So it was worthy.
She is sleeping in the basement (as are we) on a couch and a love seat pushed up against each other to form a little “box” of sorts – so she can’t go crashing into the concrete floor. She actually loves it – and I’m liking it myself, because she can’t get in and out by herself – the arms of the furniture are too high for her. We are not sleeping on the couch bed – we have an actual mattress bed, and it’s cool and dark down here. It’s all good.
The camp is quite lovely – but it is HOT here! I spent a lot of time today in the kitchen helping to cook vegetables. I think I peeled more vegetables today than I’ve eaten in my entire life. They did end up really tasty though! We also went in a paddle boat today with Melanie and a few of Brian’s younger cousins. The highlight of my day by far was falling out of a hammock. Actually, let me clarify – I didn’t fall – it BROKE and dropped me – on my neck. It hurts pretty badly; I’m having a hard time moving my right arm at all, and cannot move my neck. Ashlee’s brother is a massage therapist, and he worked on my neck a little bit tonight and said I messed things up in there. Might have to get that checked out when we get home. The van ride was horrible – it’s kind of bouncy in there, and it hurts pretty darn bad. I hope sleeping tonight doesn’t mess me up.
Melanie was the star of the show today, shock shock. She spoke to everyone about everything. She had her playdoh out at one point, and it was just she and I to begin with. Within 10 minutes, I had to get up and walk away from the table, because the picnic table (a full sized table) was full of people playing playdoh with her. Someone had given her a McDonald’s playdoh factory, and a Cookie Baker’s playdoh factory. She is in hog heaven, and spent probably 3 hours there making playdoh things with all those different people.
The wedding rehearsal tonight was fun, too. She is a little ham, and took her gay old time walking down that darn isle. She wouldn’t walk out at first, because she said she wasn’t in her flower girl dress, and she didn’t feel right walking down without it. She had no rocks to throw (she said she’d like to practice with rocks because they go further than the flowers would), so she was pretty bummed by the entire thing. All in all, an ok evening though. She was very hot and very tired by the end of the day, and more than ready to sleep. She was out in less than 5 minutes after laying her down. (As will I be!)More details tomorrow about the wedding.
