Siblings Reunite

We were up early this morning on the road to Bloomington.  We made it to Oliver Winery before our expected 11:30 a.m. arrival.  Parce picked Brett up for us and we all met up for a fantastic picnic.  The weather wasn't the greatest as it was in the 40s with rain.  The porch, however, had plenty of space and the crowd was relatively light.  Thus, we enjoyed lunch under a heat lamp.  Eventually, the rain turned to snow, but the weather did not dampen our spirits.  Meg and Cam spent their time catching up with Brett and all three had fun giving Parce a hard time.  Before we knew it, lunch was over and it was time to take Brett to class.  Parce was heading to the recycling center, so we parted ways in the parking lot.  We all enjoyed Parce's stories of his neighbors and his rendition of their monkey dance.

Brett headed to Spanish and we walked to one of the bookstores.  Cameron and Doug picked out shirts that they wanted.  Meg finally found an IU soccer ball.  She has been looking for one for several years.  We met back up with Brett and headed to the mall.  There were a lot of stores to browse plus a Target and Barnes and Noble.  Everyone was exhausted when we left, but in a good mood.  Cameron and Meg got into one of their famous arguments while we were waiting for Doug.  Brett looked at me and said, "Can you believe that I actually missed this!!"

Brett asked us to drive him to the comic book store in the center of town.  He wanted to take a picture of himself in his Michael Myers costume outside of their window.  Meg was the photographer and the photo turned out well.  We definitely gave those walking by a good laugh.  Dinner followed at Buffalouies complete with orange push pops.  We then headed to the Union for bowling, pool and pinball.  We all had a wonderful time and Meg was the overall champion for the first time ever.

We ended the evening in our hotel room.  Three orders of breadsticks were quickly devoured before bedtime.  Brett headed home for the night and we watched some Full House before calling it a night.  We had an awesome day with Brett.  So much fun reuniting the siblings - lots of laughter and constant chatter.
