Lake Siiiide!

So yesterday was the start of the Nishi family reunion, and so my tribe and I headed on down to Lakeside, with our new tribal name - "Middle School Girls," on everyone's lips. We had our Mascot, Brian and Alison's little sister - Shannon, in tow.

Lakeside is a little amusement park by a lake. So, no, it's not just a clever name. We went on a few rides that I decided to give new names such as: "The claustrophobic's nightmare," "The jolty car accident," "the knee slammer," "The Puking Wheel," and "The Topsy Turvy Gut-Twister."

All in all, it was a fun time. Although, I gave Alison whip-lash when I got a little over-zealous in the bumper cars. I guess I always think that those rides are monitored or rigged so that no one can get hurt, but I proved that theory wrong. Of course, Timmy and I broke all the bumper car rules in the first 5 seconds of being there by doing a head-on collision immediately and then driving the wrong way around the track - whoopsy daisy.

Anyway, I'm heading home to the coffee shop to work some more. (yes, I call it home now)
