A journey back thru the weekend

Oh...I don't know where to start. Hmmm...that's a good place.

Friday, Mom found out that Josh Turner was going to be at the Jones county fair. So Mom talked with Dad about it & they decided that this would be fun. A couple hours past by & it was time to load up! It had been a busy day & Mom, Alyssa & I never got around to making Sandwiches to take along. So we contemplated that fact & decided to go to ~Chick-fila~ and get food there. Alyssa, Chris & I were the "drive thru" for the day. Um, yeah..that sky was bright & sunny when we went in!!! It was more of a darker blue when we were re-entering the van. We get on I-80 to go to I-380/I-218 and guess what, rain! Finally we get there. Quickly we put our plastic rain coats on, jump out the car, RUN for the gate, get in and search for shelter. Well, actually we went to were the show was going to be cause some peoples' had to take a potty break, I won't say names;-) Then we went to the 4-H building to wait for Dad because he went to park the van, bless his heart!

Dad gets back & we are all together again (in body that is, maybe not all in mind=p). It is still raining=( After awhile Dad went to find out how long the concert was going to be delayed. He returned with only sad news...'bout an hour or so. Did you know that when you walk up and down the same isle's & look at the same stuff more than once you kind of would like to re-locate?

There was a tent outside that was fairly day & we gladly joined the people in it! Hey, it was dry!!! So we waited & waited and watched as the rain came down. Dad went to find out how much longer it was going to take more that twice & they gave him the same answer each time. After awhile they got their act together & we took our seats. Well, we got to see the opening act. It didn't rain for her but it did for Josh! We never did get to see Josh turner, all tho that was a good thing! Because some how Lincoln got stomach ache & lost it all. Poor boy! He was fine the rest of the way home & the day after. We got home around 1:15, and we were all happy to see our beds!

Saturday, Mom,Alyssa & I went to the Rebalution in Des moines & out for supper at Cracker Barrel.

Sunday(today), We all went to church in the morning. We have been having it at a school auditorium cause our Church got flooded out in case you were wondering. Then our friends called us & asked if we wanted to go boating on the Mississippi river with them. We were out the there until about 5:30-6:00. Had a great time!

*breathes in heavily & breathes out heavily* we did have lots of fun tho' ! quote; We do not want to go back to tomorrow. We want to go forward.
