Flying out of Fort Liquordale Friday evening. Damn it's flat!
Saturday I went to Jeremy's baseball game in the morning. In the evening the family got together and went to the Spegetti factory. Then we went to bass pro shops and checked out guns and stuff. They had a shooting game and yes I was the best in our group. No surprise since shooting rifles is a talent of mine.
Sunday the family got together for a birthday party for Cassandra, Jeff, Natalie, and I. Natalie's birthday isn't until November but we'll be here in Florida so we just did it all together.
Monday Natalie's sister Jasmine and Jasmine's boyfriend Daniel came down from Vegas. We were going to go to San Jacinto but they got there to late so we went to Forest Falls for a while. Daniel was really impressed, which is laughable when you see the pictures from our trip the next day. Forest Falls is alright but not that impressive. However he was quite impressed. We couldn't find any good trails so we just hiked to the waterfall and then down the creek until it got dark.
I had to walk down this waterfall years ago with crazy scout leaders. There are no trails and we had a couple guys nearly kill themselves falling. People do die here, it's on the news every once in a while. Yes, I had bright leaders.

Tuesday of course we went to San Jacinto. See that blog below...
Wednesday was Cassandra's birthday. Jasmine and Daniel left in the afternoon back to Vegas. After they left we took Cassandra's kids + Jeremy to the park to play around. Natalie took pictures but most of them are of the kids really far away. So I only posted a few of them. I of course, gave Jeremy a mohawk. Here is my work. After the park we went back to Cassandra's and made our famous steak nachos and had my parents over for dinner.
Thursday,,Thursday... Thursday I think we just vegged out..It's weird, I have no memory of what we did Thursday....Hmmmmm...Did I miss Thursday?
Friday we went and bought birthday presents for all the kids that we missed their birthdays...After that Natalie and I went to El Torito. I love their salsa.. It's actually the first salsa I ever ate, the one that got me hooked! Then I picked up Jeremy from school where I saw my third grade teacher who immediately recognized me. Funny because I'm not not 8 years old anymore and I haven't seen her in 20 years. Then before walking Jeremy to my parents house I decided to stop by 711 and get the kid a slurpee and see if his mom would get pissed off at me. After that Cassandra picked us up at my parent's house and we went with the her kids and Jeremy to Mt Rubidoux. After that we all got together at Chris's house for Ice Cream Sundeas.
Saturday was my ten year high school reunion at the Mission Inn. I traveled the furthest to get there so I got a pin that says "I traveled the farthest". Shouldn't it say furthest? I also got a $25 gift credit card, the best prize of the night, others just got a free coke. It was a lot of fun. We only had around 20 students show up though plus their dates. One guy there just got out of prison 3 weeks ago. He had been in there for 7 or the last 9 years and was all proud of it. Apparently his job is working for skinny magazine and "blowing glass" dildos. We were all laughing so hard when he told us his job and of course he won for most unique career.
Sorry, I couldn't smile and suck in my gut at the same time.
Sunday I went to church with my parents. Chris and her family were sitting in the back and I heard Raelynn yelling "mommy, I see Uncle Joe. There he is mommy, it's Uncle Joe." It was pretty funny. We had bbq chicken at my parents house that night and that pretty much sums up our trip.....We left Monday at 12:20 and got back home around midnight. Went from 60 degrees midday in California to 86 degrees and muggy at midnight in Florida. It acutually feels good to be back in this weather. I hate the cold!
All in all I had a good time. I think next time I go out though I'm going to either just go for a long weekend or go when the rest of the family is on vacation and probably meet them up somewhere else. Going when everyone is working and I don't have a car means I get stuck at one place and the family just didn't get together enough. If we do it next time at a vacation spot like Grand Canyon or Yellowstone the family will be together the whole time instead of everyone at their own houses....
