We finally, FINALLY had another wedding to look forward to! Woot-woot!
Now, you can't have a wedding without a bachelor party. And you can't have a bachelor party without your BFF's. So, here's where Ashley and I crashed Jeff's bachelor party. And by crash, I mean we were totally invited. Or invited ourselves. Or, heavily implied that we should be invited. I don't know how it exactly went down. But I was there, and it was fun. End of story.
Not really. Let's take this from the top!
First, we started at Canada Olympic Park, where we rode the chair lift up to the top of the hill so we could do the Skyline Luge. Somehow, we managed to be heading towards the only major storm cloud in the area. It was cold and blustery at the top.
Ashley and I saw some sun, Ashley with her child-sized helmet, and me with my adult-large sized helmet!
Then we got a lesson from the staff at the top of the hill (mainly, how to brake). And they let us go! It was a bumpy ride, but it felt a bit like a real-life Mario cart as you wound your way down the hill. I insisted on going last, because I am irrationally cautious, and didn't want to slow anyone down. We did two runs of the Skyline Luge, before heading off to our next destination.
AXE THROWING!
Yes! There were axes, we threw them, and none of us were very good at it-- except for maybe Gwen's little brother Jonny. We played a small round-robin tournament of axe throwing. I can't remember who won (it definitely wasn't me), but it was good times. As an aside-- they let you drink while you are throwing axes. This seems like a TERRIBLE idea. But we had no incidents to report, so that was good.
Actually, that's not completely true. During the round robin matches, I played against Steve. Our round ended up coming to a tie, so we had to put down the small, hatchet-sized axes, and throw "the big axe" as a tie breaker. I emasculated Steve, by scoring points with the large axe. Steve threw his axe into the floor. Repeatedly. Check out my throw in this awesome slow-mo video!
Axe throwing would not be complete without some cheesy axe pictures. So.. See below.
Our next stop was a Locked Room. We escaped from a Mayan Temple, and we even made the leader board! We also literally broke the room while we were in it, and had to ask for someone to come and fix it... I guess pushing on the wall can cause lasers to be misaligned (what a bizarre sentence to be writing). But, we made it out and escaped being eaten alive by locals!
Our next stop was for drinks and dinner. The rest of the group headed off to go to Laser Quest, but I headed home, knowing Lacey would be up and ready to go at 6am the following morning.
We all had a blast, and it was great getting to know Gwen's brothers a little better before the wedding. As far as bachelor parties go, it seemed like a great one to me!
