Life's a Beach

How much of a bust was my Seinfeld quiz?? Ok, moving on...

Life was a beach for the Osh's tday. The power went out at D's office, so we went to Kent Lake where there's a water park and thought I'd share some a the fun....and some of Michigan's beauty. Because I really don't think you Texans get it. ;) And with that in mind, I plan on sharing more of MI with y'all....











of course, sand castles...

and sand angels...

Heh heh! Ok, it was alittle of a bust. Glad you were able to put it behind you.

The look on your youngest ones face, layin there makin a sand angel...total bliss!

So it's not all ice and snow there? And, that slide looks fun. Kinda small by Texas standards, but fun.

I take it your oldest boy lost the battle of the water vs. the sand castle. Bettin he didn't give up easily tho.

Pretty sky in 2nd pic.

You know, yalls boys look like carbon copies of you and D (oldest-D; youngest-you)..

The color of your water appears to be the same as what we have in Texas @ our beaches.

I have taken a trip to Florida, and the difference in water colour is night and day, so-to-speak.

I gotta say the "sand" was crap. You can't even call that sand. Not the best beach. I'm on a mission to show you Mich, so you'll get to see some real beaches, hopefully. The water? Yeah, I'd guess the same. I mean they're inland lakes. But there's tons of em.

When we moved here I got a GPS for my car, cuz navigating around the lakes is crazy. There's no straight shot.

And it's so funny you say oldest D, and youngest me, cuz everyone here sees the opposite. T's got bigger rounder eyes like me and B's got squintier ones and fairer hair, like D.

RecknHavic said...

Oh yeah, well e1 there is wrong!

Ok, I'll give ya the eyes thing, and maybe on the shape a face the "e1 here"'s are right, and there is the hair...

...but I just see it like I see it.

After a careful review of pics I've decided that youngest looks more like Glenn Beck...hey,wait a minute..

RecknHavic said...

Ok, TWC's puttin me to sleep. which is unusual..

Glenn Beck...very funny.
Whoops, bailed out on ya w/ no warning last nite.

I caught a pretty good movie this morning called "Deja Vu" w/ Denzel. It was about an ATF officer who tries to stop a terrorist from bombing a ferry by using this new technology where they can 'fold' time and go back. Kinda cool. 2006 movie.

RecknHavic said...

One a the things I like about bloggin is the ability to have a conversation at my convenience.

Thought you'd mentioned that movie before...

Still, it's nice to know if someone's left the building.

I don't THINK I have. Maybe I saw it in the past, and then time folded in on itself and I thought I was watching it for the first time today. omg.

Just got through watchin Cool Hand Luke, great flick.

Luke explainin why he said he could eat 50 eggs in an hour...

Dragline: "Why'd ya hafta say 50 eggs Luke? Why coulndn'tya a said 38 or 35?"

Luke: "Ah.. I don't know.. sounded like a good round number."

I just caught the last hour of "..Greek Wedding". For some reason I didn't find that as funny as most did. Too over the top.

"A Fish Called Wanda" is on right now. Kevin Kline: "You have a lovely speaking voice...when it works." to Michael Palin.

RecknHavic said...

Surprisingly I didn't think FCW was that funny. Ok, Clease answerin the door nude was, but other than that, so so.

Youngest has just thrown down a Monopoly challenge...oh, she's goin down.

Top reason the kiddos like beatin me at Monopoly, cause of my constant boast,"I'm the shoe and I'm gonna walk all over you!"

Anonymous said...

Just wondered if she whooped you yet. She should call you the sandal. Flip flop even. I'm sure you're no work boot.

RecknHavic said...

Won the Monop gm, tho hafta admit I got pretty lucky. Hit free prkin when it was loaded.

Then the boy decides he wants to take me on at Risk. Now, you hafta understand, I don't lose at Risk (well, not often) especially 1 on 1.
He beat me in two turns, and it wasn't lucky roles. He flat out out-stategeried me. Oh yeah, he's happy, said he was gonna savor it. SAVOR! I will be revenged.

Anonymous said...

Dang, two turns? Is that even possible? Challenge him at Trouble. I'm sure you could beat him at that.

Hey, regarding the fishing in SP...would you rather do an 8-1:00 fish or a 3-8:00? Originally I was thinkin afternoon, cuz I didn't know when you guys could get down there. But if you're comin on Friday, would the morning be cooler/better? That would leave ya'll time for an iced tea at the swim up bar after, which really shouldn't be missed. ;) I wanna make that res. soon, it's sneakin up on us. (I hope you've got a room somewhere, too!)

RecknHavic said...

S said how bout noon-1 :)

You're gonna think I'm an idiot (Ok, more of an idiot), but tell me the date again. And no, haven't made a hotel res yet; probably should do that, eh?

Anonymous said...

The date is July 19th. It's a Saturday. It's a day after the 18th and a day before the 20th. It's 3 weeks from yesterday. It's in 20 days.

Don't think I can swing those hours...a mean hour. (We don't have to fish, either...no bother either way.)

My advice, though no one asked, but I'd say since you're Michiganders going to Texas, South Texas, in July. 8-1. I'm just sayin'.

Nestor said...

The pizza thing is pretty funny. I know there are organziations going after the ACLU. If we could get rid of the ACLU and CAIR, the world would be a better place.

Stan Rosenthal said...

Reck, I don't know about CAIR, but what on Earth makes you think we'd be better off without the ACLU?
