supposed to be doin my term paper for socio due today, but i'm bein the procrastinator that i have become! eek!
Giddyup!
the fam decided to go to San Diego for the weekend, but won free hotel & activities reservation tickets to Silver Saddle Ranch in palmdale.. wanted to leave @ 4 but papa had overtime & left @ 8pm..the kids were obviously excited, constantly tormenting us with the oh-so-familiar "are we there yet?".. reached our destination around 10:30, stepped out of the car (only to be greeted by a turbulent gust of wind & sand (the buildings were literally rockin back & forth).. sand got into josh's eyes, ryan was thrown to the wall, & i (being the massive, highly-dense person that i am) was unaffected.. mama wanted to head back to LA.. scared as we were, we drove to the hotel, hoping that the wind will subside..
morning came, the co. gave us directions to the ranch.. drive was reaching its 45th minute.. "i'm tellin u mom, this is a hoax.. u've got to be careful about the word FREE!".. haha.. a whole line of vans were following us.. seems as tho they've won the same prize.. got lost several times (so did the others).. finally made it! looked around.. it was scenic, very pretty (i still say, the advertisers for the ranch hired REALLY good photographers cuz "the real thing" doesn't look as good).. but anyhow, i knew there was a catch (my 'rents were supposed to attend a 2-hr meeting.. haha)..
the adventure starts there.. my 'rents actually let me drive to keep the kids occupied.. "hold on to ur hats & kick up ur spurs, cowboys.. get ready for the wildest ride in town!!" haha.. the boys giggled & buckled up.. soon as the 'rents were out of sight, sped up to 40.. yeehaw! came to the 5 mph area.. ryan told me to let the car run at that speed.. haha.. we went thru the equestrian center, the archery area, hunt & game section, the lil lake, and the tee-pees.. josh said he needed to pee, so i told him to pee near one of the tee-pees. haha.. "i'm sure the indians won't get mad, josh". he hesitated cuz he's seen so many of those violent cowboy & indian movies.. next thing i know, both ryan & josh were hanging on the trunk, tellin me to start the car.. i know it was unsafe, but i let them try it just once.. i drove 5mph while the hang tightly on my trunk (they looked like 2 flies that smashed on the window).. picked up papa & mama..
==+== to be continued ==+== (time to write my term paper.. it's 5:37 & i need to catch my bus by 6:45)
I'm going to stop procrastinating ... once I get around to it.
