So Saturday, May 22 2010, Kenny's bank sponsors an event at the special olympics... The event they sponsor is called Bocce... Last year we volunteered and LOVED it, it was SO much fun! So he decided to sign us up to do it again this year.
Last year we had this guy named Jose, he was so funny, he asked us our names about a million times, and would get so excited when it was his turn to go... So this year we kept an eye out for him, we happened to get the same team he played for last year, and asked his teammate where he was, and his teammate Dominic said "He is no longer with us" Kenny and I both looked at eachother and were like crap he died... Then he got this like smirk/glare saying that he plays for the other team now... It was pretty funny! Kenny also almost got beat up twice by some of the competitors... One guy, we were judging, kept getting so angry saying we were cheating cuz we made him thrown both his balls before the other team (but it was because their ball never got closer to the palina) But at one point he literally got in Kenny's face and started yelling at him haha, but Kenny handled it very well, and explained the reason why to him like 6 or 7 times... And then we were going to turn in our clipboard, and an old competitor, like 70+, said I'm gonna freakin kick your butt (haha insert cusswords where possible) Kenny looked at me like what is going on haha...
So the Special Olympics, at least our part, only lasted from about 730-1230... So after 1230 we decided we were going to meet Justin and Dav out at Fenton Lake (they had camped there the night before) So we packed up, and wanted to take Mia but before we got onto the interstate she threw up in the car... She gets car sick, so we turned around and took her home, we're going to have to try giving her some Dramamine... It was like 1.5-2 hours out to the lake... It was such a beautiful drive, and Kenny and I just talked the entire time. It was nice...
We got to the lake and spent a couple hours there, then decided we wanted to go to the hot springs... I was in flip-flops, but I said I would be down to hike to the hot springs... Come to find out it was a 2 mile hike one way... There were alot of really steep parts, and it was a hard hike in tennis shoes... So my calves were burning once we finished... But it was definitely worth it... We had so much fun in the hotsprings... There were little fish that freaked me out, and the dog jumped on my back and scratched the heck outta it thinking I would give him a piggyback ride, but it was way fun nonethe less... I took a few pictures, so I'll post them... But I love having weekends to spend with Kenny, he is so incredible andd we have so much fun :) I can't believe we will have been together 7 years on May 30... Man time flies when you're having fun :)
These are the new hiking shoes, hott off the market :), don't you love them :)
This is us all sitting in the hot springs :)
Group picture once we reached our destination, don't you just love my hair, it made a cute little V haha (Justin, Dav, Me, Kenny)
Picture of one of the hot springs (there were like 4 or 5)
Pretty waterfall, we hiked half a mile in the wrong direction at first, but we ran into this so it was worth it... Our total hike that day was about 5 miles :) Not too bad :)
It was so beautiful there :)
