So, i really wanted the family to get together for the 4th - a bbq and swimming. Simple right?
So, i call my mom, tell her this and suggest a place with a nice clear, running river and grills and etc. Last year and the year before, we went to some place on the Chesapeake bay, but the water is pretty stagnant and everytime we come home my cousin ends up with a UTI and an ear infection. We decided werent going back there. So I pick the place with the river, she says shell talk to my dad.
A couple days later she calls me and tells me my dad has "decided" (not sure who made him boss man. lol) that we're to go to a state park that has a "beach"....Upon hearing the name I recognize it as being the one thats constantly closed down for E. Coli breakouts... *facepalm*
I advise against this, she says dad has already decided so whatever. She says its all nice and cleaned up now and that there hasnt been an E. Coli outbreak there since last year. I try to be amenable and i plan to go with.
Last night, Im googling for directions and come across several articles stating it was closed NOT EVEN 2 WEEKS AGO for E. Coli. /sigh. I tell my husband this and we both decide we're not going. It was too late to call my mom at this point (after midnight today), but I called at 6ish this am, and shes throwing a fit and asking me why didnt i tell her this earlier (umm, because I found out after midnight myself?)
So now, hubby went to drop off all the food we purchased for today and we'll spend the day alone...with the dog.
Far from the spectacular family 4th celebration I had planned.
