Happy Spring Break!

The teachers at Weston’s school, unbeknownst, to the parents, told all the students that there would be a great surprise and reward for the best paper turned in for the family immigrant’s project. Well we were pretty excited when Weston won. The reward was an all expense paid vacation for a family of four to the Great Willow Lodge, up north. There must have been someone who donated this trip because I know teachers are not paid enough for what they do!

At this writing we are taking a wee time out from all the activities. There is so much for everyone to do, including the parents. There was a bit of confusion though regarding the tanning beds. My wife and her sister, Wena, weren’t aware that the first time you “tan” you should only stay in a few minutes. After the long trip up and the weather being a bit chilly, they stayed in the beds for 2 hours. They came out very crispy and burned all their fur. You’ve heard of ‘baked Alaska’, well they are baked wil-aska! So, they are really in time out. They were told they could go down to the pool and hang out on their towels, but to stay out of the sun!



The kids are having a great time. Weston became a certified Jr. Life Guard for the day. He got to dress like a lifeguard do relay races and practice real lifeguarding skills and learn how to respond in an emergency situation. He is sitting up high on the lifeguard chair, and he certainly is keeping an eye on his mom and aunt who obviously can’t be left alone!

For the adults, there are many fun activities is in the evening! The judges from Willow Idol are here hosting a spring break singing contest. Wyman Cowillow, Eilene Dewilnerous, Raymond ‘check-it-out-willow’ Johnson and Dara DioWilardi are all here and of course it is all a buzz. There are contests every night and my family has convinced me to participate. I’m going to sing one of my favorite songs: “Fur on the ground, fur on the ground, look’n like a fool with your fur on the ground.” I will let you know how I do!

Best go; I think the charbroiled ladies could use some assistance at the pool area getting off their towels!
