Awesome weekend with Keith Wilson

Keith Wilson came to visit me on Thursday. We decided at Christmas that we were going to hang out over spring break. Unfortunately, our breaks did not overlap, but luckily Keith only has one class every Friday, so he could come. We picked this weekend about a week ago and didn't have everything figured out until a few days before he came, but it was awesome.

He got here late on Thursday so we just stayed around the house. Friday Keith and I went to my church and played basketball. We were the only ones there, but it was still pretty fun. Then we picked up Michael from a birthday party. We came back to the house and played Monopoly, which Keith won easily. I would have been out pretty quick, but Keith kept giving me money underneath the table so I could stay in. Michael had no idea. I would pay Keith and then he would pass me the money back under the table. Then Friday night we had some people over and watched The Fantastic Four.

Saturday was the best day. We woke up that morning and went to the church for the weekly basketball get together. Michael, Keith, and I played for about 2 hours. Then my dad came with Jordan and we all went to a snowshoeing place. It was a once a year thing where they took us on a 1 mile hike through the woods on snowshoes. We came to a firepit and a lady that had hot chocolate and apple cider for us. It was pretty sweet. Then we made the hike back. We filled out some things at the beginning for door prizes. Jordan decided to ask if we had to be present for the drawings. We did and since it was 3 and the drawings were at 6 we had some time to kill.

Good thing we brought the GPS. We went geocaching. But we only found 1 out of 3 that we went too. There was just too much snow! One place that we went took us to a field. The snow came up to the top of my thigh. We rummaged around for a while, but then decided there was no way that we could find a little box under 3 feet of snow. We did find one at a little roadside thing where there wasn't much snow.

We went back to the snowshoeing place and were hoping that we would win some prizes. We had 5 people and there were only about 35 people there. There were quite a few prizes, with the grand prize being a pair of brand new snowshoes. There were quite a few names drawn when finally Keith won. We were all cheering loud. The best part was that all the rest of the people were old drunk people who were cheering about everything. Then Michael won, then Jordan won, then I won. Unfortunately, my dad didn't win anything. For the grand prize drawing, they put everyone back in and drew a name. The first 3 people weren't there, including a guy who already won a prize and then left. Then they called Jordan!! We were so excited. We cleaned out the prizes. It was a lot of fun.

Here are the prizes that we got, but it doesn't have Keith's prizes.
















Keith left today about 3 after church and lunch. It was good to have him here. :)
