{Ok, go on with your Polack jokes…I can take it!}

So I’m out of here for the weekend. 

Thank you for all the 1st Birthday wishes for Pinkie and 2nd Birthday wishes for MyBuddy this week.

So they have their dreaded 1 and 2-year-old check-ups tomorrow.  I hate that they have to get shots, but I’m way behind in scheduling them and well, feel it’s perhaps time.

Then we’re off to cetral-ish PA for our once-every-other-year BIG Family Reunion on Saturday.  We missed the last one because well, I was giving birth to our son.

So I’ll (ah-hem) set the stage for you:

– my Father’s cousin’s house on lots of land (which to pitch tents on) out near Harrisburg, PA

– 130-150+ Polish descendants/family members…lots of children!

– Everyone in must-wear! matching red and white T-shirts with their “number” on it (as to when they entered the family through birth or marriage) [I'm #46, hubby is #106, myBuddy is #107...and I think Pinkie will be somewhere around #114?]

– Lots of kegs Kelbasa & Kiszka

– Mutiple turkeys in deep-fry baths and a roasted pig (that should be a fun one for my son to see…that’s enough to stir up some “Old McDonald Had A Farm” nightmares)

– Three-legged races, sack races, egg toss, the “schlong dong” race (oh boy!…that’s not good for indexing in the search engines), beer pong and much more! (says the flyer) — last reunion I attended keg-tossing was included in there too…oh it gets pretty rowdy.

– Lots of laughs!

– port-o-potties (and big lines to go with ‘em)

– Food out the Polish wazoo!

– Polkas, singing, family meeting, more eating, more drinking, more beer pong, drunken tent-assemblage, over-tired cranky kids…coffee…

…then we’re heading home.

(when the kids get older perhaps we’ll “tent it” like everyone else, but good-grief could you imagine attempting that with a 1 year old and a 2 year old — no thank you :)

You know I’ll have some photos to post of THIS EVENT :)

So, what are YOU doing this weekend?

Na zdrowie!
