In which I accidentally tan my toes

So…I’m still here in Wisconsin.  I will indeed be staying until June 2.  Hopefully not more than that.  Staying until June 2 means that I’m here during Memorial Day weekend.  Co-vendor had already said that none of their employees would work Sunday and Monday of the holiday weekend, so that means we had to take Customer out and keep them entertained.  Sunday’s activity consisted of a boat tour of the Upper Dells.

The boat tour wasn’t too bad.  It wasn’t exhilarating by any means.  The most exciting thing that happened was when we tried to cast off…while still being tied to the dock.  It was kind of surprising that we didn’t rip the dock apart.  Otherwise, the boat tour was a bit on the dull side.  It was our tour guide’s first week on the job.  She hadn’t really settled into it yet.  She’s memorized the script VERY. WELL.  Even during the “casual conversation” when we went exploring some of the landing points.  But she was nice.  I suppose she just needs a few more weeks on the job to get comfortable and not seem like she’s always reading something.

The Upper Dells are pretty, btw.

Witches Gulch

There’s a dog that jumps across here. I…didn’t manage to get a picture of him jumping.  You can see his trainer though.

Grampaw’s post boat tour Bloody Mary had a Slim Jim in it. We were all very bemused by it.

As for accidentally tanning my toes, I wore flip flops today.  I haven’t worn them out for extended periods of time in a long time.  And since I was wearing pants, I managed to tan only my toes.  It’s ridiculous.

In which we talk of tattoos

During this trip, I have learned that FSB is not a big fan of tattoos.  But he thinks it would be hilarious if I got one.  I’m not really sure why.  Anyway, he was needling me to get a tattoo over a late breakfast during the weekend.  And while he was doing so, he wondered how much it would cost if he were to get a tattoo…of a butterfly…on his arm.  Yes.  A butterfly.  I think he just said the first tattoo design that popped into his head.  Maybe he’s seen a lot of butterfly tattoos.  I thought this was so INCREDIBLY. AMUSING. (because you just don’t think that male Harley enthusiasts would have tattoos of butterflies on their arm) that I designed a butterfly tattoo for him.  Enjoy.

I was going to add pink flowers to the ribbony vine things, but decided against it.

By the way, he said he’d get the tattoo I designed for him when I get one.  He didn’t say if he’d design one for me.
