Big Trip Tomorrow

Tomorrow I am taking 3 of my nephews (Charlie, Marshall & Dillon) to the St. Louis Ren Fair and to save time I have them all spending the night at my house so we can have the car packed and just get up and go in the morning. But we had to entertain them tonight so Scott, Izzy and I took them bowling and then to Andy's for some custard. Here they are actually sitting down for a few brief moments. Trust me, it didn't last long. These boys are hyper.

BBQ & Rock Band

Summertime is so much fun if you have good friends to hang out with. Tonight we hosted a BBQ and Rock Band party at the house with 8 or 9 great friends. Scott grilled some burgers and brats to go with the potato salad, beans, chips and dip and Izzy brought some Angel food cake for dessert. I even broke out the ice cream maker and made a batch of chocolate ice cream. It was a great night. And every time we have people over I get so carried away being a hostess that I always forget to take a picture. So here's some of the aftermath after everyone left and the rock band instruments were abandoned.

Silver Dollar City - Trip # 4

I seriously love this place and even though having my job taken away from me sucked, it has allowed me to spend a lot of time at SDC this year. Normally I only get 2 or 3 trips each year and so far this season I've now been 4 times. That is so awesome. Today I went with DJ, Jordi and Cordell and we had so much fun. They all have season passes now, so I really hope I get a chance to go back with them again this year. It did rain on us, which cuts down the fun a bit, but we bought poncho's and carried on. The only real problem I had with the rain is that I had to put my camera away and make sure it stayed completely dry so I didn't get very many pictures.

Incredible Pizza

I FINALLY went to Incredible Pizza for the first time tonight. I've been wanting to check it out since it first hit town years ago, but had never had the opportunity. Until Jordi invited me to go with her and Cordell tonight before our planned Silver Dollar City trip tomorrow. The pizza buffet was really good, the different places to sit were neat. And of course they have ice cream... AWESOME! I was disappointed to discover they only had 1 pinball machine and it wasn't working. I love pinball. But I had fun playing skee ball, guitar hero and all the other games. Also got to watch Jordi and Cordell try to play Dance Dance Revolution... and fail. Ha, it was so cute. In fact, I had so much fun I totally forgot to take my photo of the day while I was there and had to settle for a cell phone pic of my game card. Close enough. :)

My Plant Missed Me

I'm finally home again for a night or two before my next adventure begins. I can tell this poor plant in front of our garage has missed me.

The Wedding, Part 4

I know you're probably wondering why the title of this post is still referring to the wedding even though the wedding took place yesterday. But the picture is of Sabrina's son Ashton and I think it's pretty obvious that the whole stress of preparing for and participating in the big day proved to be a bit too much for the poor little guy. He's lost his little mind.

The Wedding, Part 3

It's official. The happy couple has tied the knot.
