Riding Dreamer!

We had a fun busy weekend.  Saturday morning Cammie and I met Alice and Nathan at the Kids Sale at the fairgrounds.  Emily met me there so she could borrow the truck to move into her new apartment.  The place was really crowded and there was definitely a lot of stuff, I found a barbie airplane for 4 bucks and a bunch of puzzles. You couldn't really get close to look through the clothes so I didn't even really try.  Some people had awesome prices and others obviously didn't care if they sold stuff or not.  So Cammie went home to spend the night with Aunt Alice and I tried to leave in Emily's prius.  She did give me a lesson before she left but that was like almost two hours earlier..... Sigh.  Anyway, after popping the hood and cursing a few times I did manage to get moving.  I do really like it, it's a little weird when you stop at a light and it's quiet.  I thought I stalled until I remembered it wasn't a stick.  It's pretty roomy too.  So when I got home Joe was battling a virus on the laptop which he finally got rid of.  Yikes.  We went to look at the Jetta TDI's but the salesperson was so obnoxious we left and walked around carmax.  They are pretty obnoxious there too but at least they can take a hint.  We came home for a little bit and then at 6 we met Granny Franny, Poppop Fish, Damniel, Kristink, Leslie, Bear and two of their friends at La Fiesta for a pre scavenger hunt dinner.  I had a coupon and saved us about 40 bucks on the bill.  YAY!  So anyway after dinner we started the scavenger hunt which was LOTS of fun.  We had to take pics or video of us doing things like folding someones clothes in a laundromat, eating food off someones plate, paying for something in pennies, changing a sign, getting a pic of the whole team in turnout gear or camouflage gear.  It was a bunch of stuff and it was fun, I think we laughed the whole time.  Our team lost but we were a LOT older than the other teams so I'm going to blame it on age.  Everyone had a good time!  Sunday when Alice and Mike brought Cammie back we all went to the Peeps show in Westminster, that was kind of disappointing.  It was really crowded for one which I expected on a weekend and it was free.  I did get a couple of ideas for things I would like to try to make though.  I'm thinking that you can store them because some of the displays looked a little older and like they had travelled.  So anyway, Cammie got to see Emily, Edd and Matt when they brought the truck back so she had a busy day.  She did fall asleep early enough for me to relax and watch most of the race, which was good.  I'm glad the father/daughter team got eliminated, now if the other one would go!!!  The blonde daughter is just a little too peppy for my liking.  Go COWBOYS!!!!  Or Globetrotters, or sisters......  Anyway, we got to get our soak on after that which was heaven!!  Today Joe had to go back to work and Leslie invited us to come to the barn so I took Cammie there.  She was very excited to see Leslie, Bear and Dreamer and meet their puppy Cabella.  Leslie found a pair of stirrups for her and a helmet so she was all set.  She did good and then she rode for a while with Leslie, then she watched Leslie ride and then helped her give Dreamer a bath and we all walked her down to her field.  Cammie loved it and has been talking about it all evening.  Leslie let her use the reins and was showing her how to stop and go and I thought she did really well.   There are a bunch of pics on facebook.  Well, the wild woman finally fell asleep and I'm beat so I am headed for bed myself!!  Oh and today I agree with Cammie completely, it was a beautiful summer day!!!!
