So we planned on going to Creston for Balloon days Saturday morning, we wanted to see the parade and then Steve's uncle was having a retirement party after 40 years of working on the railroad! We just got the DVD player in the trailblazer fixed Friday so Saturday morning Steve moved the car seat from his work truck into the trailblazer and we packed up and got ready to leave. The car wouldn't start. Really? REALLY? We tried to jump it with his work truck, nothing.
Then we couldn't get the keys out of the ignition! Luckily, we had another set of keys and could manually lock the doors. We loaded everything up into my equinox and headed on our way. We stopped to get gas before heading out of town and realized Steve had left his cell phones in his car. His cell phones that have all the phone numbers we need for when we get to Creston, so we turned around and went home to get them. At this point, I thought maybe this was a huge sign that maybe we shouldn't be going to Creston. UGH! Finally, 45 minutes after we had originally 'left', we were really, truly on our way. Poor Presley had been strapped in her car seat the whole time and was not ready to spend another hour in the car. Fun for us.
Good news is, the parade started late and we actually got there in time to see most of it! It was a little chilly and rainy but Presley got a couple suckers that kept her happy.
We headed over to Randy's retirement party and saw the whole family. Presley warmed up after a while and actually would walk away from us! She smiled and talked and followed her cousin Ava around....and she hadn't taken a nap all day! We finally left about 4 pm and Presley was asleep in her carseat before we got out of town!
Tomorrow we don't really have any plans which is good since we don't have another free weekend until the first weekend of November!
