I can flip!

So right before I left for Wisco we had one last adventure. This story must be told, it just it too funny not to have recorded for all of history on our blog. The story goes a bit like this….

The sun was awaken one Saturday morning by the clamor of Ace and Jammie preparing for an adventure. The sun worked with Ace and together they tried to get Jammie to let them sleep in. No luck. Since they knew that fighting Jammie was like running head first into a brick-wall they gave in to her wishes and got out of bed… but not without a lot of verbal resistance.

First part of the adventure… pick-up parker and head to the ranch (her parents house). Okay this made the early morning worth it. Parkers Dad can make a mean breakfast. I’m pretty sure I’m going to be craving this breakfast in the future.

Okay, I always knew that my friends weren’t the most normal. I mean most friends would sit around crying on their friends last day in the state. Not Jammie and Parker. They drag my sad, sorry, fighting behind up to the mountain for a last hike. Now Parker assured me that it was a short hike. And I giver her credit, it was short… but straight up. I almost pulled out a well worn phrase… hey guys what does it mean when your knees almost touch your forehead? (see earlier posts for smart*ss response) But I didn't since I already knew that I would be opening myself up to be picked on. And frankly, I'm not sure I had enough air to squeak out the sentence. So I stayed quiet.

Anywaym we make it to the top, almost died climbing over wet rocks to get right up to the water and then wait 20 minutes for Jammie to find a perfect rock to place her camera for the now traditional group picture. And then we head back…

Just when you think the story is over it just begins. So we come across this dead tree over the path. Ace starts it off by pretending she is walking a tightrope. As Ace jumps off the tree she and Parker hear a little voice… hey guys look, I’m gonna flip! At which point Jammie starts to go through the tree in the attempt to hang from it like a monkey. However, there happens to be just one little stub from a branch poking out. Jams forehead connects with the branch stub. It was a little like watching magnets connect. There was no protecting Jams, or talking her into a helmet… it just happened to fast. I’d like to say that Ace and Parker were those people that rushed to Jams aid with a first-aid kit… nope, instead they both fell over laughing. Jams continued her quest to hang on the tree and was successful. Not even 10 feet down the trail the worlds largest bump is to be seen on Jams forehead. There is no way to describe the horrified look on Jammies face… which of course caused peals of laughter to erupt again.

The whole way down Jammie would be walking along and just stop dead in her tracks.... "guys, it is going to look bad when we go to dinner tonight?" Of course as the wonderful friends we are we responded... "Um no, no way Jams. You will look fine. Make-up will cover it just fine." (Insert internal giggles here and maybe a few sly glances between Parker and Ace with the hidden meaning that we sure hope it still shows cause that would be dang funny!)
