What a wonderful weekend we had at the Turkey Trot, the weather was PERFECT for trotting;) We headed to the Trot on Thursday after I got off work for supper and to enjoy the Tractor Pulls (Daddy was the flag man). But once we got there, got our food & started to eat the girls decided they needed to use the bathroom, and not the wonderful porcelain thrones we are so custom to using but the Porta Potties, GROSS! Of Course they ran to the potties before I got our food packed up and in the stroller to get them. Nothing like smearing your children with anti-bacterial gel before eating. But after all that they were no longer interested in eating and we headed to the bleachers to catch the end of the Turkey Race.
By Friday I didn't know if I could tackle another night at the Turkey Trot, but Matt was with me, so we joined forces and had a GREAT Night. We started off at the camper to enjoy supper with Matt's family, then headed to the Trot for rides. We got our bracelets, although Izabelle was TERRIFIED of the bracelet, so we had to put it in her belt loop behind her. Poor Girl, she is terrified of public restrooms and no fair ride bracelets. Anyway, Grace meant up with a friend of hers to ride rides, while Iz and I went with Greta, B, and Kaycee. Izabelle made it through the 4 rides that were acceptable for her and that was enough for her. We meant up with Grace, Hailey, and Matt to watch Grace.
Grace rode to new rides now that she is tall enough...The teacups (or whatever it was) and the Scrabbler (she loved this ride). She had a blast with Hailey that is forsure. After the rides we headed back to the camper. Grace and Hailey continued their fun by going to and from each others' campers, while I got Izabelle ready for bed. We sat by the fire until she fell asleep, so Matt and I took Izabelle home, while Grace spent the night with Memaw.
Saturday was pretty much laid back, we stayed home until about 5, went and got my cousin Jacy to come with us back to the camper, had supper, the kids played on the playground, rode the golf carts, visited, saw some blogger friends (I saw some throughout the whole weekend), and just had a good time with the family. Matt and I took the girls home around 8ish for bed (Jacy watched them) so that Matt and I could have some adult time at the Turkey Trot. We had a good time seeing people we haven't seen in a while and talking to friends that we do see often.
Sunday, we went to church and back to the Trot for lunch and Pig Wrestling. Izabelle didn't like the pigs, Grace liked watching the teams gett muddy and trying to get the pig into the tire. We asked her if she wanted to do this next year and she said "No way". She did end up getting muddy, no harm done, Mommy just had to soak it for a while. By the 3rd or 4th team we were ready to go home. Miss Iz wasn't having it and was ready for a nap. Which was fine with me because Mommy needed one too:) Then later on we headed to the Truelove's for Small Groups, which is a blast.
Here are some pictures of our weekend at the Trot:
