Balloons and rain just don't mix. We tried to go to the evening glow display of the hot air balloons, but it got rained out 3 nights in a row - so we did the only rightful thing to do.... go shopping at goodwill, get desserts from olive garden (for the adults..pumpkin cheesecake for the ladies and chocolate mousse and chocolate stratus cake for the boys) and baskin robbins ice cream cake for the kids. Do we don't let a little rain ruin our night....heck no! We improvise! We stayed up late playing games, being silly, eating yummy desserts and staying as dry as possible! The Nielsen Family was great company as we laughed, played and ran in the rain! Always and adventure!
As we traveled home, we decided to have a fun picnic....well, this time the WIND and RAIN caught us, but that didn't stop us! The Nielsens quickly created a cooking space in their car and whipped up some tasty PB and Honey sandwiches in their van; while the kids started eating in the Ward car. Within minutes of everyone starting to eat, we had a small break in the weather, so we took the picnic outside into a small clearing where the trees made a good wind barrier...but again that was a small break and we eventually had to RUN for it back to the cars as everyone got drenched! Luckily everyone was laughing in the end...what a sight we must have been! Memories!
Good times indeed!!!!!!!
