The Family Outing Weekend

So this was our annual family outing weekend as the title suggests it was. We always try to plan something like this every year which includes, lake all day, motel in the evening, lake the following day. For almost the last decade, I have managed to skip out on the event. Something was always happening or I couldn't get off.
This year, I decided to go. It must have been me as the boat was never taken off the trailer. We finally headed out from town about 11 heading north. By the time we got to the lake, the temp had fallen off of the table and was hovering about 70. No one wanted to go to the water as it was rather chilly. Throw in the clouds, some mist and even some rain and you have our Saturday.
So as an entire pack of nearly rabid animals, we adjourned to the mall in Salina. Most of us went to a movie, then we messed around the mall for a while. We did go back to the lake, cooked our supper and then called it good so back to the motel we went.
This morning, Dad, myself, my uncle John and aunt Lori got up to about 55 degrees weather and headed to the golf course. On number 9, Lori got the call that everyone called it good and headed home.
But, we did laugh a lot.
