Had a BLAST!

We had so much fun this weekend:) The kids were pretty good.

Friday, Jason only worked until noon, so he went & picked the kids up at his mom's, then went home & packed the truck up - we had most everything ready to go into the truck the night before. We borrowed a couple of sleeping bags from Jason's parents for the kids. I got done @ 3:30, so I had to run real quick to Elmer's for a couple of last minute things. I went home & showered & went through the house to see if Jason missed anything, which, of course, he did;) Then, I headed up to the track.

We ate after Jason got off the track (pre-run & stuff), then we headed to the hill for the karoke contest. Megan sang "Our Song" by Taylor Swift - she was very nervous, poor thing was shaking:( She did very well! She made it in the top 5 out of 20 or so. 2nd round, she sang "Fearless" by Taylor Swift (she loves Taylor Swift which is why we took her to Country USA for her birthday in June!) She didn't make the top 3 which suprised me because she did very well! She was upset:( But there's always next year - she's only 15:)

It rained Friday night:( At least it waited until we were sleeping:) Anyway, poor Brett woke up wet:( He told me that he thought he had wet the bed. "But I smelled it & it didn't smell like pee, mom." Funny little guy! Poor thing was probably scared crapless as he was sleeping on Auntie Tracy's air matress?!? Lexie got in big trouble for that one as her daddy had told her to zip the "doggie door" up - which she did not! Grrr!

Saturday, we watched the races until 4 or so because Megan had to go home & get ready for her boyfriend's suprise birthday party:) We ate dinner when Jason got off the track & went home to shower - boy, was Kaylie glad to see us:) We hung out & walked around. Brett & Lexie both took a little nap on the hill:) Tracy bought Taylor one of those RC Off-road trucks so the kids played with that until the batteries died:( It was Jason's birthday, so we did a little celebrating - Tracy made brownies & they stuck a sparkler in it for Jason - he wrote his name in the air:) Oh, & we went back up to the hill to watch the Big Foot show:) I enjoyed it, but everyone else was a little disappointed. Apparently, there was a misunderstanding & he thought he was just supposed to "show" the truck, but the contract was for car & bus crushing. The show truck is not set up for crushing & the crushing truck was in ALASKA! I did video tape it & I will attempt to upload it tomorrow at Shannah's since my computer is being a pain:( GRRRR!

Sunday, the kids & I did not go up on the hill. It was so hot & humid:( My friend, Theresa, and Tommy's girlfriend, Lisa did not feel like sitting on the hill, so we visited & packed at the site:) The kids did go up on the hill with Tracy for a little while, but it was way too hot:( When they got back, they all changed into shorts & soaked each other with the water from the melted ice in the cooler:) They had fun & cooled off quickly:)

After the races, Tommy came back & picked us all up to bring us back on the track for Scott Murray. That was a fun show, but not too long as it was so hot & he had all this equipment on - some people booed him because he didn't do his famous double-back flip, but he told them to come to his house to see it since he's all set up for it & Bark River was not:(

So, all in all, we had a great weekend:) We sure were pooped when we got home! & I had to open Monday morning - I will have to remember to request a slightly later shift next year like 8 or 10:)

Well, Brett is bugging me to blog about this weekend, so I guess I will talk at you tomorrow & have some pics to show you - I didn't get any of the races, though:( Forgot my camera on Saturday.
