Whatever floats your boat. Er, tube.

I'm leaving today for an All Girls Weekend Extravaganza. I, along with 6 other ladies (including the Twins, my lovely sister-in-law, and her friend that I have designated as the Wild Child) are going tubing down a river in Wisconsin. I'm not sure if this fad is restricted to midwesterners but it seems like the thing to do in the summer. Get a bunch of people, a cooler of beer per, and an innertube. Float and drink for a few hours. Repeat. I'll be the first to admit that I haven't ever done this before. There's some part of it that offends my prim side. That part would be the fact that there are no bathrooms, with the exception of the water you're floating in.

Gross.

I never grew up swimming. I heard rumors about peeing in pools but there's like chlorine and stuff to take care of it (let me have my delusions). The fact that I'm going to be just floating around in urine all day makes me a little nauseous. Okay, a lot nauseous. I'm bringing bleach to soak in after I'm done.

Aside from that grody concept, I think it's going to be fun. I'm sure I'll be my typical mom-self and not drink too much and keep an eye out for my friends. Or maybe my lovely sister-in-law will be the little devil on my shoulder and get me into trouble. At this point, who knows which way the pendulum will swing. After introducing the plans to my dad and telling him who was going, his first words were "Oh shit, are you girls gonna get arrested?!".

I know a good bail bondsman.

So here's to another summer adventure. I'll TRY and take pictures but I've been warned that this isn't the crowd to catch in their swimsuits. I might get punched and the memory card taken out of my camera. I'll be sure and take a picture of my black eye for posterity.

If it makes you feel better, we do it out West, too.

I floated down the American River in California, and it was quite a blast.

You prolly won't get this advice, as it looks like you've already left...but ask to be one of the paddlers, because when the inevitible water fight breaks out, a paddle is a good thing to have...

Have a good time, Chaos.

I just want to say, for the record, that I never for a minute thought you'd be arrested. :)

I have managed to tube down the Colorado river without getting arrested, from the Riverside Casino dock to Lake Havasu. It was a long day, beer ran out in a couple hours, ski boat swamped me and I lost my cooler with lunch packed in it (fortunately the beer had already consumed. I hit still water twice and floundered (w/o paddle) making splashy noises with my hands and kicking with my feet for what seemed like several hours each time. It was well after dark by the time the lights from the Pioneer Hotel came into view and I was well into hyperthermia by the time somebody fished me out of the water. All and all, a great experience! What I learned from the experience is never travel the water ways alone (oh wait, I did not learn that) and never plan on more than 40 miles in one day. I only wish I believed in sunscreen back then.
