Wet Ducks

          Today was a fun day. It was Dad's day off of work and he went straight to working on some more remodeling. For lunch we headed to Costco and while we were there we decided to purchase the new hard wood (laminate) flooring. It took a lot of work to load it onto the cart because they are heavy. The weather has been overcast for a couple of days now....heh heh heh. So we pushed the cart of flooring to the otherside of the parking lot where we are parked, and over to our trailer. We get over there and we see a little hail starting to come down. In a matter of seconds we are in a complete downpour. I have never seen so much rain come down so fast! We all jumped into the truck because we were getting drenched.  We just sat in the car for about 5 minutes hoping the rain would let off, meanwhile we hadn't brought a tarp and the flooring was just sitting in the cart outside. We keep hearing Dad say Why! Why! Why! Everyone else just thought it was funny. It was the first time this summer it had to rain.
            It was flooding the parking lot. We all jumped out of the car because we needed to at least hurry and load it because it didn't look as though it would stop. I had never been in nor witnessed that much rain. With half of it being rain and half hail it was like standing under a cold shower. My older sister and I were getting pelted, it was so wet I had a hard time keeping my pants up and we were laughing so hard that it was difficult to lift such heavy things. It was hilarious! We got all loaded and we quickly got in the car and we were soaked to the bone. My sister and I were ringing out our shirts and squeezing water out of our hair.
            Then finally on our way home about 10 minutes later, it stops. We went inside after unloading then and we had to open all the packages and had to quickly wipe them dry. As Mom said, "It's the first time we are mopping the new floor".  It was fun. I would do it all over again if I could. I think everyone would have except Dad. :)

Fair Week Day 1 & 2

             It's fair time again! We drove to my Grandma's house and got here yesterday. When we got there we found out that my Grandpa took my Uncle and Cousin fishing. Later on in the day more family came and we decided to go into town and watch Despicable Me 2 at the theatre. It was so cute, it's well worth the money to buy. After the movie we went to Jack in the Box for dinner and played a big mean round of the game Pit, back at home. My Aunt got my cousin and I addicted to a Despicable Me 2 : Minion Run game on our tablets. Beware, you can't play it just once.Then we ended the night off with my cousin and I watching "Shark Week : Megalodon in current waters?". It was so much fun.
            Today we woke up early to go to the parade. We parked ourselves in the shade but by the end we were baking in the sun. The parade seemed a lot longer this year. After the parade we hung out awhile at the house until the men returned from fishing.  They caught and brought home a big bag of trout. They said they wouldn't complain if they went back out. We then went to the local D.I. which is pretty much a must every time we come. Later in the evening we went to the fair grounds to watch cattle sorting. It was very embarrassing but when I sat down of the bleachers during the cattle sorting, my pants caught on a nail and I was stuck where I sat. I didn't mention it to anyone until after about 10 minutes of trying to maneuver it off by myself. Nope, I ended up having help. It was embarrassing but funny. Then we got a Maple Bar, and headed for home.
