Mini-Vacation: Day 4

Saturday was the Poker Run for Make a Wish Foundation; Jim (Clayton's step-dad) and I went. I can count the number of times I've ridden on the back of a motorcycle on both of my hands...but I'm slowly becoming addicted...which means that sometime down the road (possibly very soon) Clayton is going to have to purchase a motorcycle. Of course, I had to dress the part (when in Rome, and all that jazz)...I can't be a biker babe/motorcycle mama in khakis and dress shoes. So Cris lent me her vest (you must belong to someone/something, or you're up for the taking - according to the rules of a motorcycle gangs [I guess]) and Harley Davidson clogs, I went out Saturday morning and bought a pair of black shorts from Meijer (clearance for $10) and then I already had a black tank...so that was my outfit. I thought I looked pretty good. When we got to the first stop I noticed that none of the other women were wearing shorts (Jim said it was cuz they were afraid to get road rash - which might have been half true...but then why were many of them wearing next to nothing on the top half? A mystery.) but that didn't stop the compliments on the shorts (from two girls) or the overall compliments (from the guys, most of whom were old enough to be my dad!)...still a compliment is a compliment, especially when my man is half a world away (which means I rarely get any compliments)...Jim had to beat them off with a stick. :o) Along with that I think I drank more that day than I have in a LONG time (3 coolers, 2 shots of watermelon shnops, and 2 jello shots)!!! But I started and ended the day with water. Overall it was a great day...and there was a lot of money raised (more than last year) which was the point of the whole event. Maybe I'll do it again next year.


Getting mixed up.

Greyson wanted to be part of the gang.


He's just too soft to make it.
