What a fun and crazy weekend. I had my first "iced" experience. We watched a drug bust. Then hosted a baby shower!
We headed out to the land of forever summer and no worries Friday night, aka Lake Murray and my parents house. I love going "home" (even though it is a short 30 minute drive from where we live) and spending the night still...it is the nice feeling of being "away" without really having to go far. When at my parents, we can just RELAX. (Well....wait, I did work really hard getting ready for the baby shower we hosted) But seriously, there is nothing better than a home cooked meal sitting out on my parents porch overlooking the lake at sunset surrounded by my family. This is exactly what we did Friday night and it was great. Unfortunately I took no pictures, but I did steal this one from a friend...the beautiful sunset on Lake Murray.
Saturday morning I helped my mom around the house, she was hosting the baby shower and always has to go all out during such events! I scrubbed chairs and bathrooms all a.m.! By lunch, we were ready to go! A fun day on the lake was to be had. Several of our friends came over and we headed for Sandy Beach on the boat. I think we literally stayed in the water Saturday from 2 pm till 8 pm, such fun! I'm pretty sure a good time was had by all. When we first got there, my friend Griff came over to the boat and put something down...right beside me. I had been ICED. OH NO! The "icing" phenomenon has probably just hit S.C. in the past few months, and although I have been witness to many others being "iced" this was my first time! You really should read the article above I linked if you don't know what it is. Some marketing genius at Smirnoff Ice should be getting a big pay raise right now.
So here I am, on one knee being "iced." Notice Mikey just chilling with my other drink in hand! It wasn't too bad...I will say I am a wuss and didn't finish the whole thing, oops!
During our time on Sandy Beach, we witnessed a drug bust, pretty crazy! We were all just hanging out in the water when we looked up and saw three cops in the woods....so nuts! They had been dropped off on the other side of the island. It really was a sad sad thing, because the boat that had drugs also had two small children aboard. It makes me so mad, people need to grow up. Regardless, this was our first time seeing people get arrested on Lake Murray and it made for quite an interesting show.
Saturday night we headed to a friends to cook out, I was asleep on the couch by 11:30! It's a good thing, because Sunday was the baby shower...and we had a 60 people at my mom's to play "hostess" to. The shower ended up being beautiful and the momma got lots of good things for her new baby.
All in all a pretty dang good weekend.
