The Reunion Part II
Another smaller reunion of sorts took place this weekend at Hidden Hollow Resorts in Walker County, Georgia. My mom and her kids met her and a couple of her sisters and their families out there for the rest of the weekend. I had a good time, except for a few little problems.
First: Hidden Hollow is a pretty nice nature-ee resort thingy with a pond and canoes, paddle boats, horses, cabins for roughing it, or not really roughing it, volleyball net, horseshoes, walking trails, fishing, etc. But I thought it was a little over priced. That wasn't a real big deal, but the woman who runs it would not let us divide up the cost and pay individually, she had to have it all paid for by one person which made it a real pain. She grumbled that each time she used her credit card machine that it charged her a percentage and it didn't seem likely that we would be able to explain the distributive property to her in a reasonable amount of time, and so we accepted this inconvenience.
Second: They had this rope swing that went out over the water that my sister, brother and cousin were using. It looked like fun and so I decided to try. The first several attempts were great (except for the torture ladder for getting out of the lake). On the last attempt, something went horribly wrong and my foot whacked on the tree or a root or something. It smarted and my toe bled a little bit but it wasn't that bad... until I got home. Now it would seem I have one regular foot and one Super Sized (TM) foot. I don't seem to be able to walk so well. So, hopefully, I don't stub it, or get it stepped on and it'll be better soon.
Other that that, it was a great little get together. Good food and family and good times... sounds like a theme restaurant commercial or something, but it's the truth.
