Weekend Pictures and Another WLS rant

I'm back from my little sabbatical. I don't know how I've managed to be away for 3 days. I didn't even check my email. I've been pissed all week after calling the insurance company and finding out that they still didn't have the paperwork they needed. Once they do get it, it could be another 30 days until approval. I didn't realize that I would have to babysit both the insurance company AND the medical facility.

As I promised earlier this week, here are some pictures.

This is #1 wearing her tiara. I was so jealous. I've always wanted one.

Somehow #2 ended up with two boy friends at the pond on Saturday.
This is her best friend. #2 is also on the boat behind the friend.
Many large mouth bass were caught.

#1's friend who is also 14 got on one of the four wheelers
and proceeded to drive it staight into the pond. Luckily my father was
there and was able to dry out the carburetor and spark plug.
It still runs but the brakes squeak terribly. The funny part about it was that we had
about 10 kids much younger on the four wheelers all weekend without incident.

Here is another view of the pond. To get back to the property,
you must travel on a one lane road for 1/2 mile.
There is no electricity but we have a hand pump for water.

This is part of the new floating dock that my grandfather just built.

The same dock at night. Doesn't it look like Jason Vorhees is going to
jump up out of the water and kill kids who have been having sex (Friday The 13th)?

#2 and friend with their glow stick jewelry. I, of course
had the most on. I'm such a child. The dot hehind them is a star.

We rounded out the night with some legal fireworks.
They pretty much sucked but we have to follow the laws, right?
The state of Michigan is going to allow the others soon since everyone has
them and they are losing out on all the sales tax when they are bought in another state.

The end!
