Croquet & Guesture Games

First off, my sincerest appologies for the Word Verification. I have recently linked my comments to my email and have been getting an obscene amount of spam comments that are rather annoying and take up too much room. Sorry!!

This past weekend was a lot of fun. PP and I went up to TO to visit Jennifer and hit up a BBQ on the Island. Saturday PP and I arrived early afternoon and spent the day shopping. We saw a movie being filmed in the street and took that route to our shopping extravenganza. I was busy being cautious trying to make sure i didn't trip on any wires and lights that were all over the place, PP on the other hand was staring at the actors and swore she saw Stifler. We ended up walking all over the city it seemed and somehow ended up in Chinatown for their yearly festival. It was chaos and we had to endure this horrid Asian Three Days Grace coverband while we weaved in and out of the people trying to get to a restaurant. I did however find the cutest pair of John Fluevog shoes which were on sale $100 off WOO HOO!!






In the evening, Jennifer headed off to some Potato Festival and PP and I went to a pub for some drinks. Nothing too exciting we were home by 1am.

On Sunday we went to the TO Islands for Danboys' BBQ. The three of us were fashionably late which he was none to impressed with. Then something hilarious happened. There were 9 of us altogether, Dan at the front of our group surrounded by a hundred or so people. All these people are boarding and Dan tells us all to push through or we're not going to get on. As he goes through the gates to board the ferry, they slam the gates shut after him so noone else can board. So not only did he have to wait 45 mins for us to arrive, he now had to take the ferry alone and wait on the Island for another 20 mins until the rest of us hopped on the next ferry. It was priceless.

We ended up having a gourmet feast, fresh spring rolls, these amazing marinated shrimp on the BBQ, mouth watering brownies and for some burgers and sausages as well. Somehow a croquet set got busted out and we formed teams. S & I who had never played before were ahead in the game. That was until Jennifer and her partner started to play dirty and kicked our ball way off of the course because apparently they were afraid we would beat them. There was a bit of rivalry between our 2 teams and when i got the chance i hit their ball way off course as well. Only problem, when i did it, i took my shoes off and put my barefoot on the ball to steady it. I ended up wacking my foot as well.....it was quite painful.

On the way back to land we played this charade type game. S had this electronic gesture game that would tell you what to act out such as a pinprick or a bedspread and the rest of the group would have to guess what it was. It was hilarious and we had other people on the ferry joining in as well.

It was a great weekend, beautiful weather and good times. Tomorrow after work i get to play some volleyball finally this year. I'm looking forward to it.
