CRAZY

104 weeks in China.  7 weeks to go.  Very big bag of mixed emotions.

We decided to go with Carrasco's to the Thai foot massage place.  We were all shocked Todd said he would go.  He must have went crazy or something..  Ileana and I did not tell the boys anything about the place.  We knew they wouldn't go if we did.  We arrived and sat on our beds.  The guys were looking around and asking questions.  Ileana and I were vague in our answers.

The bucket of water came out and Todd asked what he was suppose to do.  I told him to put his feet in the bucket.  He did.  Then he started watching what the lady was doing to Fredy.  She was rubbing on his arms.  They both said "we thought this was a foot massage."  We told them just to stay tuned.  This was not the worst part.

He had to have a beer for liquid courage.

After the arm rub the foot massage started.  Fredy was sweating and freaking out.  Todd was doing pretty well.  He made a few faces but it was ok.  Then all of a sudden Fredy said "I feel like I am walking on a Lego's."  We all started cracking up laughing.  Numerous times Fredy's girl told him to relax.  He just couldn't. 

Todd's girls was trying to crack his toes.  He said "well, she either just cracked my toe or broke it".  Ileana and I decided the boys are wimps.  Fredy's girl then asked if it was his first time.  Uh, you think?  Next thing Todd said "Are they using Icy Hot because the hair on my legs feel like they are on fire".  Again a bunch of laughter.  Todd wasn't too big on the idea of her punching the bottom of his feet either.  So funny.

After the foot massage they started rubbing on the legs.  We were watching Fredy's girl and she had his leg straight up, then bent sideways.  Todd was worried because he is not flexible.  He handled it pretty well.  The girls started pushing on the pelvis area.  Todd said he didn't know he was going to be violated.  Ileana started laughing and said Fredy said the same thing (but in Spanish).

This is where Todd started getting worried.

Last came the neck and back.  I looked over and Todd had both his arms behind his head and then his girl was twisting him like a pretzel.  He was laughing.  Then she put his arms straight behind him and had her feet in his back.  He was dying. 

Afterwards we asked if they liked it.  Todd hesitated and then kind of said it was ok.  When asked if he would come back he said "um, probably...not".  Fredy told us he would have never came if he knew what it all entailed.  But since he went he would take his brother back.  But we aren't sure he enjoyed it.

We ran home to pack for the beach.  We picked Cameron up at 12 and then headed to the beach.  He ate lunch in the van on the way there.  Once there we realized that it was packed with Chinese because it was a holiday.  We didn't think about that.  We found a spot.  Cameron and I played catch with a ball waiting for others to arrive.  Carrasco's came.  Then Spooners.  Oh man, once the Spooners arrived so did the Chinese paparazzi.  Their girls have blonde hair and one is curly.  They are so stinking cute and everyone wanted to take their picture.  Megan finally told them to leave.

Check out the guy in the underwear. 

Todd and Fredy in a deep conversation.

As we were standing around chatting we saw a jet ski come flying over the buoys and close to the shore.  Next thing we see people running out and then dragging a guy in.  They got him on the shore.  Tons of Chinese took off towards the action to take pictures and see what was going on.  We never did see what happened to the poor guy because there were so many Chinese people around.

Cuevas', Orr's, and Schlotman's all came too.  For the next 3 hours we sat around having drinks and snacks and watching all the kids have a ball.  It was a beautiful day to hang out at the beach.  At 3:45 we finally left to go back home.  It was a terrible ride home because we all had to go to the bathroom so bad.  It seemed like the drive took forever.

This was either a jelly fish or silicone implant.

They all made it in the water.

Back home.  I gave Todd a hair cut, Alfredo came up to play, Todd went to dinner with a friend, we ordered food, skyped, and then went to bed.  What a fun day.
