back to the basics

so i reread the caption under the title of this blog and realized i was way off track here. i'm suppose to be writting about those experiences in my day that are like hiccups, little mishaps that make life a little more interesting. so here goes, at least here i will try.

i went to a family reunion today. i know, i know, you are all thinking what a place for lots of mishaps. well this family reunion was special, see it was for my mother's, father's side of the family. i didn't even know that this side of my family existed until i was about 12 years old, and my papa passed when i was 16, so i haven't really seen a lot of that family. well in fact you may say i haven't seen any of that family... ever. well, my brother, sister-in-law and i were sitting around the picnic table when we realized were that one family, you know the one, the one family that shows up to a reunion and everyone is like "hey who are those people? are they really a part of our family, or are they just here for the food?" and if you know me your bets would be on the showing up for the food part. well lets just say at the end of the reunion i still didn't know anyones name, and i don't think i would recognize them if i ran into them on the street. so maybe it wasn't a reunion more like a meeting for the first time.

or right the hiccup. well this is the best part. we were reunioning at a water park so we were swimming. my nephew and i were on our way to the waterslides when the whistle was being blown in the kiddie pool. they had to get everyone out because apparently someone puked in the pool. well then i saw my brother and i told him what was up. well he started to laugh and he said "well are you sure it wasn't paige's poo that they kicked everyone out of the pool for?" so apparently my 2 year-old neice dropped a load right into the pool and it was shut down for the next 30min or so. displacing about 40 kids from their splash ground into the big pool. way to go paigie! when she does something she does it well, she must take after her aunt manda!
