On Thursday I turned the big 28! Paul and I went to a movie and then dinner after work and then finished getting our tent trailer ready for our first camping trip of the season. Friday after work we headed up to Rockport with some of Paul's fam. We were greeted with some rainy weather but set up camp and hoped for the best. Our heater wouldn't work so Knuckles and I had to cuddle to stay warm!
On Saturday there were a few hours of sun! We played "redneck horseshoes," roasted some dawgs and enjoyed the weather while we could! The guys went fishing for a few hours and actually came back with some fish! Art also cooked in his awesome apron that we got him for Christmas! (it says, "I turn grills on!")
Then the rain came back and we chopped up veggies and such in the camper and Katelyn tried to keep Knuckles warm. We were going to have a big birthday BBQ-Katelyn and Paul even got me a monkey pinata!! But the storm rolled in and we all hurried and ate and headed back in our trailers to bundle up! I still enjoyed the left over pinata candy... we munched on treats and played games until we fell asleep to the sounds of the rain.
In the middle of the night, Katelyn wandered out to the bathroom and upon her return, she got caught in a snow storm!! The flakes were huge and soggy! Needles to say, we left the next morning (a day early) because it just wasn't fun anymore. Our tootsies were wet, our fingers were cold and we just decided to pack up and try again in better weather.
THE ICING ON THE CAKE!!!!!!!!
We hurried and packed up in the rain, struggling not to get our feet too wet in the deep puddles. Paul's Uncle made a big breakfast for us all to enjoy before we headed out. I decided to put Knuckles in the truck so he wouldn't get soaked as we ate. I wasn't feeling too well and wandered back to the truck a few minutes early to find Knuckles covered in a white foam and this white substance all over the inside of the truck door. I thought maybe he was sick or foaming at the mouth... then it dawned on me. I shut the truck door and took a deep breath. Paul had placed my untouched--not even one bite taken--BIRTHDAY CAKE on the back seat. Knuckles and been bouncing around looking out the windows waiting for us and he stomped my birthday cake...to death!! Katelyn brought it up on Saturday and we didn't even cut into it because of the weather. There was frosting chunks scattered on all of the seats and strawberries gushing between Knuckle's toes and smeared into everything. Oh well, we just tossed it into the dumpster and agreed it was total tragedy. I still had a wonderful Birthday and appreciate all of the thought that went into it!! :P

That cake looked like it would have been delicious! One of these days in the future, you will look back on this experience with irreverent laughter!
