I CAN'T WAIT! Courtney is already in NewJersey, but I will join him tomorrow for a night and then we will head on into Manhattan for our NO CHILDREN get away until MONDAY! Three shows for sure and possibly a fourth one---I cannot even stand it. Way nervous for the solo plane ride over, but hopefully I will get some sleep since Court booked me in first class. Thank you Alecia in advance for watching my kiddies.
Me, Rachel, Andrea, Jen, Spils, Amy, Christi, Heidi, Kylie --and don't forget about the driver--Joni!
#8. Trying ZTejas for the first time---the mushroom enchiladas were AMAZING!
Notice the Sass-itude just oozing out of Jen in the middle of the table. That is one sexy, single, school counselor!
#7. Managing to secure the entire back row of Chandler Harkins Fashion Square all to ourselves!
At 31 years of age, we still GOT it going on!
go Eda...it's your birthday....
#5. The two Julie's ---a.k.a Spils and Fisch--Reenacting that "cute" couple from the front row!
#4. Chowing through two Party Platter Pizookie's at BJ's Brewery
umm yeah...that pile is ICE CREAM!
Spils, Jen, Christi, Kylie, Andrea, Me, Amy, Rachel, Joni, and Eda finally joined us!
#3. Taking a ride to the Top of the Residence Inn
...okay, maybe we only made it to the 2nd floor!
#2. Andrea letting us know she was DONE for the night!
#1. Finally getting to bed at 5:30 a.m. just to have Rachel's phone go off at 7:oo a.m. playing "All For One " from HSM2!
I am still catching up on my sleep, but holy cow was it worth it! Thanks to Kylie's husband for getting us a great deal on our room, thanks to Eda's husband for volunteering to bail us out of jail if needed, thanks to Joni for chaeffeuring us all night in the van, and an especial thanks to my own husband for not only letting me go, but having the house cleaned AND the laundry done when I got home---Court you are the best! To sum it all up I must quote the words that a wise friend once spoke,.... "What happens at the Residence Inn (and Z Tejas, and Harkins, and BJ's, and THE VAN), stays at the Residence Inn!
Saturday morning began with Survivor Eliminator-Everybody had their name on a paper plate and we took turns shooting our paint pellet guns. 3 hits and your name was out. We even let the kids shoot the guns. It was alot of fun. Believe me there was alot of trash talking going on, but in the end Court's 10 year old niece Rachel beat us all!!
Obstacle courses were put on my aunt Jill and Aunt Alecia. I hope I can post the video. At least in the adult division I did manage to beat Big Dave--my father in law. Check out Delainee and Laetner as they turn in their unbeatable times!
Then came time for Fear Factor. With event names like "Call a Flower", "Cream Pie Surprise", "Egg-celent", "Muddy Worms", Dirty Diaper Surprise" and "Cracker Confetti" it was definitely a crazy time. Laetner participated in Muddy Worms, where he had to eat a cup full of crumbled up oreos with gummy worms intermixed. Slow and steady was his motto and he took 2nd place to his cousin Reece. Cousin Jakey did not fare as well. After trying to down the whole cup in one swallow, we all watched in horror as his face became green and then he ralphed it all up! 
Here is Laetner proving that he ate his whole cup!
Delainee competed in Cream Pie Surprise. Using no hands she had to eat through a plate full of cream to find the hidden marshmallows inside. 
You can see the cream on her chin.
Court participated in Call a Flower where he had to eat a bunch of raw cauliflower as fast as he could and then blow up a balloon big enough to be able to sit on it and pop it. I participated in egg-celent where I had to toss up a raw egg and catch it without it breaking. I was the first one out of this event! It would not be a trip to the cabin without lots of rides on the quads and the rhino. 
THANK YOU Aunt Marissa for taking all the kiddies on rides all weekend long.
Sunday morning we all headed to church in Pinedale. It was pouring rain outside. One of the grandkids commented that we shouldn't be going to church if it is raining! Sunday afternoon we had a talent show and bow howdie, are we a talented bunch. Waverly showed us her ability to roll on the floor--at least she attempted to. Delainee showed off her amazing ability to do cartwheels, and Laetner somersaulted, shot spiderwebs at everybody, smashed down like the hulk and smiled like the joker on batman. (Have I mentioned EVER that he is really into anything super hero???) Sunday evening is the day that I played my last game of Werewolves with the Fischbeck family---or any game for that matter. I must hang up my game playing hat, as my husband has officially informed me that I am too PASSIONATE a game player. It was fun while it lasted!
Monday morning began with a creepy drive to the Pinedale Cemetery where Grandma and Grandpa Fischbeck showed the grandkids their gravesite. One of the grandkids was very confused and wanted to know why grandpa and grandma were dying today. Court and I are still contemplating putting the kids in therapy.
On the drive home we took the Globe route and stopped at a little Mexican Food Joint called Guayos. The food was yummy, but the chips and salsa were the best I ever had. I think we need to make this a tradition. 
Waverly loved it so much she even tried to lick the plate!
Here is the Fam in front of our new favorite restaurant.
Finally after the long action packed weekend we finally made it home. It was fun, but there is no place I would rather be than in my own bed!
Waverly Agrees!
