no boys allowed...

I went up to Island Park with 8 other gals this past weekend, and can I just say? It was stellar! Our weekend included:

*staying in a lovely waterfront cabin on Bill's Island
*Macks Inn dinner theater

*playing poker and gambling with candy

*a lovely walk around the island (to walk off our excess dinner)...

*a bike ride in perfect weather with perfect company!

*munching on pretzel m&ms and other such stellar snacks

*giggling...and more and more giggling

*falling asleep on the dock while reading in the sun

*other stuff


Aren't you jealous? You should be! I was in desperate need of getting away from this town where I live, in the company of some of the greatest gals on Earth. So yeah...just what the doctor ordered!

T and B at the dinner theater...

Jen and Jeanna...

Jenn and Janae...

Keri and moi...

...aaaand Brookie!

POKER TIME:

I was totally winning...
I figure "Go big or go home" right?
(Mostly I just got lucky...staying in with a pair when others folded)
(And yes, that is a cheat-sheet in the top left corner. We
needed that cheat-sheet.)

But other times I really got lucky...
Like with two pairs!

...Or else a flush!

But then we decided to go all-in; winner takes all.
Keri played on borrowed candy...
then she traded her whole hand (all 5 cards) and ended up with a full house!
What the what?! (Clearly, Taletha thought Keri was cheating.)

A picture taken on the bike ride...
(I told you it was a perfect day!)

Janae playing on the dock...

My view from the dock...
(falling asleep reading, remember?)

Ain't I artsy-fartsy?
(This is Brookie's lovely head)

Thanks for the fun time, ladies! (Especially YOU, Jeanna! Thanks for the invite!)

Those are awesome pictures. I too am kind of jealous. Mostly because I don't have 8 chick friends that live near me...or 8 real life chick friends period.

Jeanna said...

I love this post so much!! Especially, T's face when Keri won. Fun times. Thanks for coming- you made it just that much better!

Brent said...

sounds like you had fun. and you are most definitely artsy-fartsy (emphasis on the "fart")

I didn't know you were such a gambler...must have picked that up on your Vegas trip, eh??

Giant individually wrapped gummi bears make me laugh. I think they are so hilarious. They are quite the kings ransom. I hope you are able to acquire many many bears in the future.

this was a rockin' awesome weekend! Too bad Keri didn't get to keep all of her winnings. I'm pretty sure she would have shared. But, since she turned them back over to Jeanna and Taletha, we probably will never see them again. I could go for a cinnamon bear right now.
Glad you got the "roll call" pictures in pairs. It's like it was one big group date. How'd we end up in odd numbers. Brookie's gone solo. Let's not point that out to her.
