We Could Use a Spelling Lesson.

Very early, on Saturday morning.
Four extra people boarded a Full boat.
And apparently, we do not know how to spell.



1.) Stacking One T-shirt, One pair of shorts, One toothbrush and One phone charger on One uncovered pillow....as your 'packed luggage' for a 34 hour trip...
Does Not Spell C.L.A.S.S



2.) Bringing your husband/6 year old child, as your partner... only to watch him spastically, repeatedly jump off the side like a cracked out coffee bean, while the Others calmly float on rafts....
Does Not Spell Class.

3.) Unable to fight the urge/dare/whim, to Leap off the top of the very tall, moving boat, as it speeds across the extremely large lake. Forcing the Captain to slam the 'brakes' and rush, very worried to the side to locate your not dead but in fact, smiling body....
Does Not Spell Class.



Realizing Tru Stories and Coach are unable to read.
Well, that doesn't prove we can not spell....

4.) Erin Brockenvich.
Does Not Spell Class.

5.) Believing your husband was suffering from a possible 3 hour food poisoning. Boarding the boat anyway, then waking at 1:30am to spend 2 hours (in a VERY tiny Boat bathroom) with what was obviously the Flu. Therefore, infecting each and every passenger and yet totally rallying back the following morning.
Does Not Spell C.L.A.S.S
But it does spell T.r.o.o.p.e.r.

6.) Shouting "Warhol. Speaking of Yoga".
During Catch Phrase.
(Answer: Sweat)
Then having to pause the game for a solid 18 minutes from hysterical, belly-bending laughter.
(Ummm.. Warhol was not laughing. Neither were the other 9 totally confused passengers. Except, General who sympathetically shook his downed head.)
Does Not Spell Class.
It seems to spell... "Only.3.People.Got.the.Joke".

7.) Not making Yummy Fab dishes from home.
Instead, bringing Twizzlers (2 Jumbo Bags) and Avantie's Gondolas (Pre-cut).
Does Not Spell Class.
But it has to give us a C and L.

8.) Purchasing a Busch baseball cap and/or a Shlitz T-shirt as your 'brand new' Boat Trip clothes.
Does Not Spell Class.



Luckily, this Shirtless Man (Whom we Heart) mostly thinks Class is over-rated. So I am pretty sure, we are still a solid "In" with him.
Fingers Crossed.

Trip Highs:

* Dueknot Oh Pen Bee Four Christ mass.
* Tanning without highly Sunscreened children.
* Laughing until my tummy muscles ached.
* Van trip down... and back.
* No one woke, during my Worst Nightmare, of suffering from the Flu in a near public location.
* $3 Wal-Mart Jumbo Noodles



* This Man, helping to compile a Top Notch Song List.
The General knows how to spell R.O.C.K.
* Friends and Cousins.


Conclusion:
One more, Summer Memory...
Fondly Experienced and Chronicaled.
