“So, Shelli, what’s the scoop? Where were you really for 3 days?”
Thursday night I had a very bad migraine. One of the worst, if not thee worst. I even called my Mom and asked her to sing me a lullaby. I needed some mothering. Isabelle was here and I slept through most of the time she was here. I texted Fab and asked him if he would post for me. Yes, it was that bad. 
On Friday I felt better, but we were supposed to leave for our annual Apple River trip as soon as I got home from work. I hadn’t been able to pack or prepare at all because of my migraine, so I was just going to leave the blog alone and hope that people wouldn’t freak. Fab offered to keep pinch hitting for me. And so it was. I had a teeny bit of Internet access at the campground, but it wasn’t much. It flickered on and off. So, I was able to answer and email here and there and that was about it.
Like I said, it was our Apple River trip weekend. This is something that we (Jason and his siblings, their spouses and extended family and friends) have done since we all got married. It is something that we have said that we will do until we are 80. Somehow, when someone has a serious illness, these things take on more meaning. It was a fun weekend. I think we all laughed a lot, drank a lot and just really enjoyed ourselves. I would like to share these pictures with you.
For those of you who don’t know or those that don’t remember, last year we got a flat tire on the trailer on our way home. Guess what happened this year on our way home. We got another flat tire on the trailer. This time it was the other one. Yeah. It was really fun. If you want to know what that looks like, you can look at the link I just gave you for last years flat. It’s pretty much the same. I personally think that it is something about the lift bridge that we cross over the St. Croix River between Stillwater, Minnesota and BFE, Wisconsin. I am going to go out on a limb here and say it is all the fault of the Wisconsinites. That’s my story and I am sticking to it.
awesome photos! that looked like so much fun!
was the weather warm? we haven’t seen a sunny day since August fifth!
You mean you were out having fun?! I guess I should apologize to Fab for that thing that I did in retaliation, that I am sure he will find out soon enough.
Nah. He’ll get over it. :d
I liked it better when people thought I was an asshole.
Great slideshow and captions!
Looks like lots of fun! I’m still glad I sent the Amish Mucinex Salesman to Mr. Fabs house!
There is a surprise for you at my blog!
I hope you can get those migraines under control.
I’m glad you had a nice trip, ‘cept for the flat tire.
Mr. Fab is the greatest, isn’t he?
I just assumed you were buried in Fab’s backyard. I was going to drive up and visit.:d
Can you blame us for wanting to keep you?
Looks like you had an absolute blast camping. Glad you had a nice trip, Shelli.
Blue–It was just warm. It was nice for camping, sleeping, campfire, but not really warm enough for floating on the river, which is why I didn’t go. I took a nap instead. I love naps.
Lynda–He will. I know he is the forgiving type.
Fab–Thanks. I don’t like it when people think you are an asshole!
TrishK–I finally got him to take the Mucinex.
Thanks for the button! I’m not worthy (in the voice of Garth or Wayne from Wayne’s World).
Barbara–Me, too! As you know, they suck bad. He is the greatest.
Finn–Maybe I am. Can you go check?
Melissa–Aw, shucks! I guess not. :”>
Great! You party is so cool ! That’s so great when you have friends, which never let you be bored!:d/
