Munden Point Park

Yesterday was my sister Grace’s 19th birthday so after church and lunch we headed out to Munden Point Park in Pungo to enjoy the gorgeous day.

I can’t take credit for any of these awesome photos. I’m just giving Jimmy the camera from now on!

My gorgeous sister at 19. Happy birthday Grace!

We played soccer and football, chilled in the sun and hung out by the lake.

Kyla sniffed 8 million leaves and had an awesome time, I think. She was fully worn out after we got home.

Me and my moms.

Mom and Dave on the jet ski. I can’t wait to take this thing to the beach, even if I don’t like to be Evel Knievel on it like some people *cough*JIMMY*cough*.

Hangin out, walkin the beast dog.

Kyla wanted to go out in the water and get the jet skis. She was fully convinced she could swim fast enough to catch them.

While I went there to do peaceful, hippie-like activities like hold ladybugs, apparently some jackasses went to the park that day trying to get in a fight. As y’all know, I think frisbee golf is about the lamest game ever, and there is a frisbee golf course at Munden Point. Jimmy and Maegan and I went over to the basketball court (they were playing, I was spectating), and hung out for a while. We were getting ready to leave and Jimmy and Maegan walked over to the shade of a tree where me and Kyla were chillin, which is about 6 feet from the basketball court. As soon as Jimmy walked over, these guys were starting a game of frisbee golf or something, and the first dude threw his frisbee and it hit Jimmy on the back of the arm. Jimmy picked up the frisbee and tossed it back (I would have done the same thing, so would have a ton of people, it’s a frisbee, that’s what you do, no one knows about this stupid game) and the whole group of them WENT OFF.

The dude who threw it started walking toward us, being all threatening, and yelling at Jimmy, “That was so rude! APOLOGIZE NOW!” and calling him names and generally being a douche nozzle. I mean, he was the one that hit Jimmy, but Jimmy’s supposed to apologize? For what? Standing by the basketball court? There’s a playground near the frisbee course too, would he have yelled at a kid if he hit a kid with a frisbee? Sheesh. Jimmy handled it really well but would have been totally justified in punching the guy with the way he acted. I hate drunk/high losers that think they’re so entitled. Ugh.

Anyway it was a fantastic afternoon other than that. We went back to mom’s house, played Cranium (I’m not a fan, literally EVERY time it’s my turn the card is a stupid Club Cranium or whatever), and Grace and Rob opened presents and we ate and got home really late. Tiring weekend!

Yay weekend! Frisbee golf is pretty lame, and so are a lot of people. You are completely right. Why WOULDN'T someone throw the frisbee back to the guys? And they should have been the ones to apologize, but really, there's a lot of douchebaggery out there. Ah well! At least the rest of the time was nice!

What was he supposed to do with the Frisbee...actually, he *should* have been the one to start something.

I love ladybugs!

I like disc golf, but at least 99% of the players exhibit the maturity of seventh graders. Ugh. Looks like it was a beautiful day though!

Hi, would you mind telling me where you found that harness on Kyla? It looks really comfortable and I think my little one would love it!

Thanks and thumbs up to Jimmy for being civil even though I would've punched the doods too!

Sure, the harness is from Golly Gear

A more popular model is the Puppia, they have more colors and patterns, but the buckle is plastic which my dog has chewed through three of them, so I sought out one with a metal buckle instead.

Kyla is so adorable! Looks like she really enjoys those walks.

Believe me I wanted to hit the guy but I couldn't help but laugh at him.... The whole time he was in my face he has a bee about to sting him on his bald spot of his head!

When he realized that he was about 2 feet taller than me and I wasn't running awa...I might cause him some problems! haha Just kidding!
