This was Lind's big weekend. We started out the festivities by visiting the evening medical clinic in Ritzville Thursday night!!! Didn't require stitches - just some super glue and a tetanus shot - oh and it wasn't one of the kids - it was Janice! I hit my foot on an evergreen root that was sticking up - got a pretty good puncture that took about 5 minutes to get it to stop bleeding. Almost didn't go to the clinic but the last tetanus shot I had was when I got gored by a bull at the U of I rodeo in 1989! Probably was about due!
Friday we took the kids to the car demolition derby. Emma did alot of whining - I think everything is still overwhelming to her. We sat next to Darla Mast and her family - it was good to see them. There were a few exciting moments. At the very end, one of the cars went up over another car and landed on its side. The boys thought it was AWESOME!!
Saturday we went to the parade. Emma didn't really get the whole pick up the candy until about 1/2 way through the parade. Then she got into the spirit wholeheartedly. There were alot of people in town on Saturday. The line for the BBQ stretched from the park almost back to town. We didn't stay for the BBQ or go to the Combine Derby - decided it would be more fun to go to Pasco and see Sashi, Grandma & Judy! Rod went by during the Derby and said he had never seen so many cars there. Hope they had a record crowd - I think there was something like 4,000 last year. Quite a feat for a town of 500!
Sunday we went to the coaster car races. They are like the old soapbox derby cars and they race them down the hill by the school. The boys told Rod that they definitely want to do that next year! Guess Rod better get busy and get some plans and parts coming.
