This last spring break wasn't too eventful for me, merely working outside, or relaxing inside. But one thing is for sure I enjoyed the time off from school very much, and did manage to have my own myriad of good times. Although closer to the end of the break, I invited some friends over for a casual hangout with a board game. Although it doesn't sound like the most exciting thing to do, it was surely needed.
So the gang came over quite effectively and we had refreshments and set the game up, and from then on for a few hours more, people left, and more people came and the game caused us to laugh hysterically, and the vibe was a very happy one, after we finally completed it, and darkness fell, a new game awaited us...
Next was an eventful intermission between the chaos, merely just a simple dog walk, with three St. Bernards weighing more than one hundred pounds each. Legs tangled, people pulled, and even an unsuccessful attempt at "mine sweeping".
A classic game of hide and go seek awaited us after the dogs plopped into their respite. In the blackness of the night, we hid, hunted and frightened. In the end everybody had a professional hiding spot that fooled us all at one point or another, and everyone had their good share of laughs. As time passed and curfews were met, we eventually had to end the amazing night.
This night wasn't about texting, or online gaming, and was free from any teenage stress and drama, it was more about good friends getting together and going back to the roots of the primordial ooze of childhood fun and great memories. Definitely one of the highlights of the break by far.
I liked that while reading your post you subtly added game words as your own way of describing your spring break. It sounds as if you had a relaxing but good time off from the chaos of school. I think it's great that people can gather round to play board games and act like children every once in awhile. Not many teens go through weekends without liquor so when there are some that do it is really nice to see.
ReplyDeleteThe title matches the story for sure. Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun. My favorite part was the last paragraph.I think we all would benefit from a weekend like that, just to get away from all that texting, stress, and stuff. I always get annoyed when your hanging out with friends and one of them is constantly texting. Sounds like a good break.
