Call signs and Gar and Humming bird cake oh my!!!



This past weekend (33 weeks pregnant), Jake and I headed up to FairPlay, SC to spend the weekend at the lake with my college friends their spouses/fiances etc. It was a 6.5 hour drive but so worth it! Friday night we cooked steaks on the grill and had a cut throat game of Taboo to follow--girls vs. boys--of course you know who won (girls had the advantage with two sober ones on their team). Saturday we had a surprise lingerie shower for Beth followed by wakeboarding and drinking on the dock. A few of us swam across the lake only to find out afterward that there are fish called "gar" in the lake which are similar to mini-alligators, yikes!!!! Saturday night we piled into two vehicles (two pregger sober drivers came in handy) and headed to a restaurant in Clemson, SC called Calhouns. We were a fiesty, hungry and loud group so although the waitress appreciated our tip--i know she was relieved to see us file out around 11pm. After dinner we headed out to a bar for some dancing and laughs. The boys thought it would be fun to give everyone a "call-sign" like jake's--this shortly turned into a slapping game--if you didn't call the person by their call sign, you got slapped. Josh "lunch meat" Copeland got the worst of this--I got off pretty easy as no one really wants to smack a pregnant lady. When we returned home we all dove into the hummingbird cake (aka a slice of heaven) that Josh's mom made then drifted quickly to bed (translation= passed out). I can't wait to do it all again next year! I know a few people who owe me a favor! Diaper duty anyone?!!!
