We had a very nice weekend despite the downpours yesterday morning. The drive here was reported as uneventful and they made it here in time to enjoy Bailey's pizza for dinner. The boys were terribly excited to have Megan here and were vying for her attention all night. Too bad for her that she was feeling under the weather.
Saturday started out a little damp, too bad we really needed the rain, but we did manage to get to Clemons for the rummage sale in their gymnasium. Carolyn bought some dishes and puzzles, Dave bought a jacket and a sweatshirt, and Megan bought a Coca Cola bottle and a book. We waded back to the car and headed home after a quick stop at the "quaint" grocery store in town. A lunch sandwich buffet seemed to satisfy the masses before we headed to the big city.
In an effort to make many generations happy we hit a mall that included a bowling alley. The boys headed down to bowl and the gals shopped till we dropped. It was tax free day on clothing and shoes for the mall was VERY busy. We managed.
After shopping we headed to Ames for dinner at Hickory Park. YUM! I am not sure how impressed the guests were but we love that place! The evening was quiet and the morning came too soon. In order to get back for evening chores the gang left very early. The boys got up to say goodbye and I took the only photos of the weekend and they didn't turn out :( They headed back east and we headed back to bed. The boys slept at least another hour so that made for a much more reasonable afternoon.
Fred has left for his business trip this week and we are once again on our own. We do it well enough. He'll be back on Thursday in time to grill steak for Will's b-day. Until then we will shop for pinata filler and register for school! YIKES! All doable!
