"THAT'S why Lexi is the way she is." –Allison, upon seeing my dad with his head out the window of the car making faces
"It's like a knife fight, there are no rules." –my uncle Glenn
"Lexi, I like EVERYTHING you do." –my uncle Mike, after totally tearing me apart for not going to any Gopher events, esp. hockey games, nor knowing the 'song' thing...WTF with that man?! Like I care! Haha. August 2, 2003
time 9:56 pm feeling happy but tired reading nothing wearing red still music varies ready for Great America! next bedtime baby...it's Saturday night for 'LX'...
Stephie and Mike were here!!! The baby was cute!!! (Ian/Zeketh, not Stephie's baby [nonexistent as of yet] by the way) Everyone was happy!!! This is a stupid way to begin the update, alas, it is your suffrage. So this weekend was the great Mason reunion, let me tell you, we are (a) one of the loudest families you'll ever meet (b) filled with impulsive aggression and (c) have no qualms about saying what's on our mind/doing what we might want. Thus, chaos ensues! This however is a good thing...it's where I most belong. And with Mike and Matt there, it made 35 people...holy kamoley (or whatever)...a good time for all.
Well okay, there are a lot of things that happened but I have decided that this is read best in quote form...just as a reminder, Mike Fear and the badmitton tournament, with TEAM MINNESOTA winning it all (note: not my team) were highlights. Thanks to Mike Fear for existing and Matt for organizing the tournament! Another highlight was of course the sculpture garden. Wow, but you'd have to see it. Oh yeah, and the Lickery. And Hooty's. I also took a lot of great pics, we'll see how this works out though.
Moving on...
