07/30/06 - Hester Family Reunion
|
|
|
|
The infamous Hester family reunions. After a long drive, we arrived in Grafton, Illinois at Pere Marquette State Park. The first day, as is true of most vacations, was just sitting around talking about The brand new mazda six and how incredible they are. I mean come on...come on. This one had a 6-disc CD changer, manual transmission, a sunroof, 17-inch rims, and a crazy spolier. Every day was pretty similar: wake-up (time dependent of the the amount of alcohol consumed the night before), go the the pool for a few hours, shower, eat lunch, play games, eat dinner and dress up, and, finally, drink. The campsite was fairly large; we didn't even use half of it. Plus there was a mess hall and the campsite had its own pool. The first day we went to the pool, ate, and slept. The next day, we hit up the pool in the mazda six...6-disc CD changer...and Caitlin and I went to the hillside and took a few pictures. Then it was time for the games. After the Lighting of the Torch ceremony, it was time to play the first of the games - themed according to the Winter Olympic Games. Forgive me, I don't remember what the games were called. But the first game was skiing. Teams of four had to stand on 2x4s and, by lifting the board together with string, and race. Then there was "louge" noodle race. We had to race with a pool noodle between our legs and added people to the noodle at certain checkpoints. Then we played curling in the pool by having to push/pull a ball down the length of the pool while - touching the ball itself was prohibited. Then it was off to gangsta/gangster night. And the spaghetti sauce competition...they were all delicious. Then we all got drunk and went to bed. Only to get up and go buy more alcohol and get White Castle. My lower intestine was kicking my ass all week. Then it was time for games again. Let's eat crap food, get drunk, and then push our bodies to the limit! Sean, Mr. Hester, and I almost died during the relay. Because we are fat. We also did a race where two people had to get on a raft and cross the pool 598237648723452 times and you weren't allowed to drown and die. Bummer man. He delivers. Then we had SNL night and ate New York-ish food - burgers and things of that nature. Everyone looked funny as hell - and there were many Wild and Crazy Guys. The next day was open day or free day or whatever the hell you wanted to do. So we went paintballing (the youngins that is) while the adults went to St. Louis (yea right, they were probably getting smashed at a strip joint). The next day we played several games: javelin throw with noodles, shot put with water balloons, and discus with plates, volleyball with two blankets, and garbagey back yard...again, I don't know what the game is really called but it involves going crazy, throwing lots of shit, and cheating. Then we played a dog rescue game...jump in pool...second person jumps and pulls them to safety to the wall furthest from them...smart...great rescue tactics. Then it was time for redneck night. YEEEHAAA...JESUS CHRIST MONKEY NUTS! And o...my...lord, there were some overly attractive outfits: naked children, pit stains, beer guts, clothes that are way too tight, and lots of plaid. It looked like my family reunion (see Pig Roast and Pet Deer Dated Entry). Then there was a seed spitting contest. And then lots and lots of crazy, free dancing. We were also all heavily intoxicated by this time...Sean and I were 12 under...we had the marks on our arms. The following day - thank god one of us didn't drown in the pool - Caitlin and I took a quick drive and took a few pics. We came back and it was Luau Time! A few people dressed, the pool was decorated, and the food was great. And then there is Justin...but, anyway, Caitlin and I took a few pics at sunset. And by a few, I mean about 750 pictures. Some will be deleted later...I have to merge some of them for ever better pictures. Drinking. Campfire time. And then there is Justin. Dumping torch fluid directly into the fire, buring crosses from a memorial that was left behind by a religious group, and adding "johnson" to every song. "We're having ROOSTER, we never USED to..."
